Man, I still have no idea what color I should take. Honestly, the orange looks awesome, and actually I think that's the color I'd prefer. But I'm afraid I won't have enough cojones to order it... So, I guess BSM is gonna be my choice again. Alpine white looks ok, but it's definitely at the last place right now.
But again, I love VO, it's just great. |

Interesting, I would have thought the Black Sapphire would be more popular. Personally, I am getting Valencia Orange. I think I would prefer a blue, but with these choices, I actually prefer the orange - it seems to perfectly capture the spirit of the car - and I believe it will be the iconic color for the 1M, since it is exclusive to this model.

It's a tough call when VO is the highlighted color and really shows off the curves but it's a loud color. The AW is a safe, neutral and many BMW factory race cars are the same color.

Black fo me!
I can't understand why there is so little interest in Black. When clean, nothing looks better than a black car. And in the 1M it will look way badaaaaassss.
Surely my fellow car enthusiests don't have issues with keeping their cars clean. That's why Buick owners buy "old man tan" when ordering. |

Maybe because there still aren't pictures of a BSM 1M, so we still can't exactly say how it looks in black (sure, we can imagine, but that's not the same). Otherwise, I'd also be pretty surprised that such few people voted for BSM.

The VO realy looks good in person. It is more of a coper metalic than an orange color. I would call it coper with metal flake in it. Or more of a burnt color of orange. But under the lights it is very bright. ie it POPS.
Here are my photos from the Welt... |

For those that have seen it in person (Detroit or Europe), looking at the latest Motor Trend magazine where they have featured an Orange Challenger and Bentley GT (both are darker burnt orange), from those pics the VO looks awefully similar. Can someone that has seen these cars in person comment how close (if at all) these colors are to VO?

Yup, I think that was the same color featured in the MT article.

Agree.. it's definitely a burnt orange... and no.. the challenger above looks more like the color of the M3 GTS Fire Orange. University of Texas = burnt Orange = Valencia Orange University of Tennessee = bright orange = Fire Orange |
