Exactly. It is really red with the X1 next to it.

Very nice m4

The m4 looks amazing.

SO is such a nice color.

@MischiMischi: did you order it via Individual? You paid more than for an Individual paint?
Congrats!

Agreed, SMB for the M4 would be great...oh well.

Great shots, thanks. Can't wait to see the new comparison with FO included. I expect an F82 in FO would be outstanding!

Danyutz · 07-10-2014, 02:03 PM

Looks gorgeous, IMO all the Ms should "wear" colors - leave the monochrome to normal cars.

Wow!

Good call! I forgot all about that color. Like Sakhir, in some pictures it looks red and in others it looks orange. Would be great to see pics of it next to Sakhir.

Fire Orannge!!!

frcotting · 07-10-2014, 10:24 PM

SO is just red. Valencia's orange.

e92proper · 07-10-2014, 10:49 PM

Ehhh the m5 killed that Orange last year. Fire orange is the closest thing to semi-alright IMO.

M3WC · 07-10-2014, 11:42 PM

This pic shows why Sakhir looks so good. When the sun hits it, there is an intense burst of bright metallic orange. Like the front corner of the M4 (above the headlight).

Fun of it · 07-11-2014, 12:38 AM

Simply stunning! SO appears to be such a complex color depending upon the amount of sunshine or shade.

Have never seen a SO M5 on the road...every other color though.

I like FO, if the car was just a weekend toy.

khanyam4 · 07-11-2014, 01:56 AM

I like shakir such a happy medium. Valencia orange too light, fire orange too bright, shakir just right.
