Thanks for your input sparoz...

How do you think the VO will age? Noticed a 350z in the popular orange colour today and didn't look great.

That 350Z in gold certainly has aged badly! That green-gold E46 M3 colour still looks ok though
You mean that urine colour, Held there value less and are hard to move, based on my ongoing M detective work

Had a tiger mica HSV once, the colour became meh after a while, proved a negative for resale too, oh they also did what ///M did, they then made it a standard colour across the range hmmmm mistake.

Just my 2c, most people like white, some like black, but VO, it polarizes, you either love it or you dislike it. If YOU like it and plan a long term relationship DO IT.

How do you think of the M1 look today? Colour comes and goes and the safest is always AW. You might now like the look of the orange M1 nowadays, but there is one colour you always associate with the M1 and it is orange.

In the years to come, there will always be 1 colour associate with the 1M and it will be VO.

At least that's my humble opinion. .

IMO I don't think VO is any more 'out there' than say Montego Blue is. Even the new F10/5 series has a similar orange to VO.

Can always wrap it
The Sakhir Orange only works on the M6 though (again my personal opinion).

VO is like the old Dakar Yellow. However, 1M looks great in Dakar Yellow too .

If you are keep the car, I would say definitely vo. If you are not going to and looking at selling it in a few years time - AW is always a much safer option. Most popular colour I believe in Aus is AW.

i'd suggest owners to NOT read the article in the fin rev today, or at least the last paragraph or two. they bring up the old 135 v 1m debate.

Any1 from Perth on this forum who owns a 1M in VO that wouldn't mind if I had a look? My car is due for production soon and not 100% convinced on the colour. Would be great if I could have a look in real life.

Thanks in advanced...

joe i almost fell off my chair when i read the 'almost rude option bit' and I was in the library at the time

seriously It would be nice for a change if they did a propper eval on a track for an M car and not just from coffee shop to coffee shop.

True...And unlike the SMH, you cant post a reply to the editorial and give your 2cents.

"Almost rude option" ( metalic paint ) applies to nearly every car on the market... Where has this guy been..

Stupid review, even though he liked the car which is good, but saying the ride on the 135i is better then the 1M is wrong. The reviewer has never driven a 135i by the way he described it as through a 3rd party, so... pointless comparison.

So I woke up this morning to my neighbor (across the street, who had a 135 two days ago) cold starting his car . It was a familiar sound, maybe a little louder. As I was leaving at the same time I thought I would add to the early morning BMW symphony! As he reversed out I saw 4 exhaust pipes It was a 1M! He must of picked it up yesterday, looked great in BSM! That is all...

Nope. Only way is to have your dealer paint them before delivery, or just have them painted after like I did.
