Surprised they didn't get one of the other orange colors like the one they make that lime rock edition M3 in, which looks similar.

I agree though, doesn't look right on a larger car.

That's Ausfredys car, he had a 1M and the M3 both in VO. He sold the 1M ages ago.

M3 and 1M

Some more M3 shots of Ausfredys car

On an M3 perhaps I'd go black/silver as M3 a fairly conservative car
Conservvative, you reckon? Massive presence IMO.

i think the best colour combo for M3 is White and black accessories... my youngest son keeps telling me that any way... I had a lone of a X1 while mine was in the shop... and it was VO!!!!! it just looked so wrong......needles to say it just sat on the drive and resorted to use my wife cabriolet ... i know woman's car but better than the X1

I also think the best color for the M3 is white with contrasting black extras; I myself would go for a mineral white but AW is good too. Silverstone would be my second choice and Le Mans Blue on a E90 sedan looks great too.

VO still looks best on a 1M, never that good on any other model including smaller cars like a Mini or the new 1 series. VO and 1M belong each other

Couldn't agree more. Rarely does a color suit a one car so specifically.

The lines on the M3 handle colors like red and Le Mans blue well whereas those colors would look awful on a 1M. The thought of a le mans blue 1M is

Does anyone else get ticked seeing X1s in VO driving around? It's such a ridiculous color for a car like that, if anything I'd love to see a VO X3 M-sport

1M was pioneer for VO.

Subsequently got the VO treatment: the F20 1er, the X1, the i3 Coupé Concept and the Z4 LCI facelift.
