When I spec'ed my 2016 M4, the Coupes were specifically being built in Munich. The Verts were being built elsewhere. (Has something changed?) Although you could (can) get basic individual colors on the M4 Coupes built in Munich, they specifically shut down the availability of all the "Restricted" individual colors on the M4's (inc Fire Orange). The "restricted" colors are the 6-step paints which are harder to apply then usual and the older robots at the Munich plant just weren't up to the task. I was told the restricted colors would be unavailable until the robots at the Munich plant got upgraded... Yes, you can get individual paint on an M4 Coup but try asking for Fire Orange and see what happens... (unless something has changed) As far as I know the M4 Coupes are still being built in Munich... (...again, unless something has changed)

It's wrapped, just saw it in person for a couple of days at advanced M school and checked it out. It was originally BSM, there are stickers on it for the detail shop that did the wrap, they also did a carbon fiber wrap on the roof panel. It looks really good in person also.

Nope this car was BSM, door jams tell the story in this case. My guess is they had a couple wrapped over the last year or so because they took on the continental sponsorship and orange is part of their pallet.

I do agree that, even at that price, it would have been nice to at least have the option on the M2. |

You know what... I mixed the cars up. You are correct... M4 coupes are made in Munich... while the M3 sedan and M4 verts are made in Regensburg. Dackel

What folks fail to appreciate (I think), is that there is more than one category of "individual" paint.
- There are the "stock" individual paints you will often see listed as an actual vehicle build option - There are the BMW "factory" individual paints that BMW is using on other models - There are the "restricted" individual paints that BMW reserves for special models and applications and require specific approval for their usage. These are typically BMW reserved colors and may have special application challenges. (Fire Orange is in this category) - Then there are the "true" individual colors that BMW will mix for you if you are willing to work for it. This is generally the category where the paint is to be matched to a lipstick color, etc. I believe you have to work directly with the Individual group at the "M-Studio" in Garching to get something like this done. I worked directly with Individual at the M Studio to get my car done and they can do just about anything you want, to any car you want, as long as you can work directly with them and pay for it. They have a car on display in the studio where some guy wanted a "Salmon Skin" interior (made with real salmon skin). (I believe he was the owner of a large fishing fleet). They had to figure out how to dry, cure, preserve, and apply the skin - and the guy had to pay for the development. But if you have the time and money you can get almost anything done via the Individual folks a the M Studio. It starts with a trip to Germany to meet them... I met with them FIRST and we worked to build out my M4 before I ever contacted anyone stateside. After hooking up with BMWNA, my final step was to find a local salesperson to simply fill out the paperwork. This is the reverse of how most folks try to get an Individual order approved but it was VERY efficient. I knew BEFORE I went to BMWNA or my local rep that the build was already good to go- 'Cause I worked it out in person!

It clearly says #limerockm2 right on the bumper. Not sure why people are calling it fire orange.

I sent this to my sales guy immediately after seeing this post. I wish the M2 was available in orange from the factory. Alas, he told me it was, in fact, a white M2 wrapped in orange.
