dwp2002 · 10-26-2017, 01:23 PM

How about Fire Orange from the M3 Lime Rock Edition!!!!!

ZPrime · 10-26-2017, 03:06 PM

I might have bought red if there was an interesting red for the car.

I'm biased but this is what the M2 needs, so many of these rusty burnt orange colours out there now, orange should be ORANGE! Every time I open my garage door I smile to myself when I see this!

It's a car for young people or those young at heart so it should have a bright colour like Orange or Red...

Apparently BMW DOESNT SELL CARS LIKE THAT

You'll get a funky blue or a funky orange and like it. !

From hindsight, I guess Scott26 referred in this post of Summer 2014 to "Sunset Orange" and "Long Beach Blue":

Marina Bay Blue on the M5 is new isn't it? And the M5 also has a Frozen Red colour.

Cute photo but you were seriously reaching.

Hockenheim is leading sunset orange ...

Long Beach blue is clearly an " also ran" at the back of the pack with the rest of the BMW greyscale-plus-blue colors.

Very surprising that black is actually ahead of white which is dead last.

Here you go.

Golden brown texture like sun - Never a frown with golden brown...

I Currently own BSM and love it (but clean it everyday)...I really wish I coulda bought silver, silver with metallic brings the lines out more than any other color IMO

Clean it everyday???

specka · 02-10-2018, 10:12 PM

I'd get BSM again any day, in spite of the horrific maintenance. The orange is pretty cool, I do like orange but normally as a highlight against MG or BSM.

My biggest problem is not the colour but that I just bought an M2 and this car will come out soon and I should have waited...impatience is a b1tch.

F87_LCI · 02-11-2018, 07:27 AM

Given the limited choices, I'll stick with LBB...until I can get back to LSB that is. Like me some blue!!

Is that the real Hockenheim silver color?

RAM_F30_F87 · 02-25-2018, 04:45 PM

Don't know for sure, but they're listing the C33 color code.
Won't hurt to see a rendering before official BMW literature is released.

You can even buy it and spray it on a panel of your M2. 😂

Shall we do that? I have a rear spoiler laying around hahah

It is a paint made in Hong Kong. Maybe a friend of mine can take it to Europe.

Fuck it I’ll venmo you $2 towards it.

You cannot Photoshop the color from that swatch. It's just a generic representation of the actual color. I can Photoshop it, but I can also tell you it won't look anything like the real color.
