Over the years I've seen some wild bright exotic-like colors on bimmers.....I say leave that shit to the "look at my me/my money" exotic car owners crowd.

Not once ever have they looked good IMO, closest one being Dakar but even that was a "suspect/joke" color back when I had my e36m.

The subtle colors were always what I've thought BMW's look good wearing.

I am surprised that the X1 is the car that you think of most when you see Valencia orange.

It was on the:

1M - (launch color )
M135
Z4
X1
228 - note - this color IS already available on the 2 series .. just the base model only

I considered a VO X1 M sport. Couldn't do it. Went with BSM just like my 1M.

Approximately how much for a wrap like this? And how long would it last? It is tempting to be able to get your choice of color.

Around 5k for a good vehicle wrap.
Cheaper than re painting.. and the same price as BMW individual paint (when available )

Not too bad. And the advantage of being able to peel it off for the original, well preserved paint.

This color does look surprisingly good.

Clear, fresh wash in the sunlight - popping...but I wonder what it looks like dirty, and in cloudy or rainy conditions.

Always liked the orange on the M3 and looks great as a wrap on the M2. There is always custom order

VO looks much closer to Sedona red on cloudy days, which is to say, rather dull in comparison

I saw a VO Z4 the other day in Tampa, FL and it was drop dead gorgeous...but that car aside, I think VO still looks amazing on the 1M

Personally, I think VO looks terrible on the M2. However, on my 1M, it is perfect.

There are several colors that the M2 would look great in, personally I would love to see it in Tanzanite.

Loving the VO look!

About halfway through my planned M2 ownership (ie. summer 2018) I'm going to get mine wrapped in Speed Yellow hopefully. I always hoped the M2 would've come with some shade of yellow (other than Austin "vomit" yellow).
