orange 1M ?

[note46]

Dakar Yellow. It would look very nice sitting next to the original M Coupe (e36) in my garage!

I just put down a deposit at the dealer and I'm #1 on the list so here is hoping for non-metallic orange or Dakar Yellow!

+1

I want non-metallic.

[E82tt6]

I'm curious to see what the metallic orange mentioned looks like.

I've always wanted an orange car, and a green car.

I have little doubt BMW will have at least one or two colors for the car that I'll like

[HERR FSTIR]

I was initially planning on Inka or metallic orange, but as of late Estoril is looking a little more appealing.

I wonder when we will start seeing official colors and options? Perhaps in January following the official revealing in Detroit?

Is it possible to have Laguna Seca Blue?

Laguna Seca Blue with black rims and a 35% tint would look...so good!

[BMW269]

I like the flashy non-metallic colors such as Melbourne Red, Laguna Seca Blue, Dakar Yellow, Inca Orange, Alpine White,... also the two metallic colors Atlantis Blue and Power Green. But I think I'd go with Jet Black, and Shadow-Line (Highgloss-Black) window trim, rims, grill, gills, and exhaust tips with tinted windows.

Yes, I will be trading in my 135i, for the 1//M, if they offer it in Dakar (to match my M3) or Inca Orange!

that is a beauty!

if i may ask, was it difficult to order the car with dakar yellow? what was the additional cost? I've heard 2500 for individual color. any hoops you had to jump through to get it ordered?

The timing of the order is critical…

If you don’t order it at the beginning of the run, the will usually reject the order.

It took BMW AG almost a month before they approved the order. Then you have to wait until there is a slot to do the special paint. You don’t have to jump through any hoops, but from what I was told, dealers are only able order only a few INDIVUDUAL orders per year. They usually reserve those for the Alpinas.

The price for the Individual color is 5k. WORTH EVERY PENNY!

thank you for taking the time out to answer. i may pursue getting an e90 m3 in dakar if i can't wait the full year for 1M

Jon, your work is by far the best I've seen on this car. If it is not to much trouble can you add a CF roof, and some M3 mirrors to to show BMW how good maybe the car can look?

Thanks for your time, you are most talented...

As of currently the color remains exclusive to the M3 GTS and these two high level execs who are keen to keep their cars exclusive. BMW will not paint another car in Inka Orange due to the exclusiveness of the M3 GTS unless the color gets approved for series production - ie 1M.

Inka Orange is one color being looked at for the 1M but we also have a metallic Orange that might be more appropriate for the car , Power Green and Phoenix Yellow could return too.

Any chance of Monte Carlo Blue (or Estoril or any other light metallic blue) or Golf yellow? I'd absolutely throw caution to the wind and get it, should Golf be available...

Power Green looks interesting too, with all black trim/wheels.

[madostrich]

i could be, and often am, out of touch, but please put this color on a 1M spyshot

[Trier Germany]

Since the M3 GTS is so rare and only 150 produced and only came in Inca orange. I personally think this color will be strictly off limits

I do not understand this. Now if I could afford an M3 GTS, paying so much I would demand a want a different color. I would take my M3 GTS in Alpine White, with Black High Gloss window trim, grills, gills, rims, hood vents, mirror caps, exhaust tips, front lip and wing.

The M3 CSL which BMW built allot more of compared to the M3 GTS were only produced in steel gray and sapphire black

And they'd say, "No soup for you! NEXT!!"

Isn't the demand for that thing sky high? If so, then they can control the specs and features on the car as much as they'd like.

[BrokenVert]

You can have any color you want Levi. So long as it's black




And he sold 15 million of those

Power Green por favor

GTS is Fire Orange and not Inca Orange, Inca Orange will not be available. Scott did say that they have two orange finishes which may be available, one in metallic and one in standard finish. I am hoping the non-metallic makes it to the 1M, if so that is what I will go with. Otherwise I'll look for a non metallic blue (laguna seca is tops) or settle with AW.
