Found this on YouTube. I recommend muting it but interesting look at some colors, the end shot is great.

Home. Did not expect to take delivery today, but resistance was futile. No traffic on the drive back to Ojai, so I got to open it up a (very) little bit. This car is insanely fun to drive. The car is gorgeous, including and especially the grille. Every other car on the lot looks dated next to the M3. Will post more pics when daylight is available again.
Much thanks to Ole at Steve T. in Camarillo. It was great fun having someone at the dealer as excited about this build as I was. |

This was a custom order. Ordered it back in December 2020. It took a while to hit 112 status, but that was beneficial as I changed my mind on a few build issues during the wait. Build:
Fire Orange (obviously), Carbon Package, Execute Package, Carbon Seats, Full Leather - Black; Black Calipers. F.O. and Black is great combination for this car. I think its going to look even better once windows are coated. |

About two weeks after the order was accepted and a production number issued, I changed the build to include full leather and the carbon trim. BMW initially balked at the changes, but Ole at Steve T. was able to push the changes through.

My biggest concern about the build was the carbon buckets. I will post some further thoughts on this after I have driven the car more than 30 miles. For now, I will simply note that they are both fantastic, and a likely a PITFA on a daily basis. The seats are very comfortable, I do not think they should cause the sort of person that is attracted to the M3 any concern on that front.* However, I can see the dismount being an act of public humiliation. Ingress and egress is not an act of grace, so much as one of contortion. That said, I would not order this car without the carbon buckets. *This depends on an individual's size. I saw a post a few months ago of an exceedingly tall and large (but not rotund) person trying fit in the buckets. A person of that stature likely would find the buckets intolerable.

Is Fire Orange + Kylami interior too much? Currently looking at Silverstone, but I saw a Frozen Orange w/ Kylami and it didn't look bad at all......

I think if you went full leather it might be a tad too much and instead likely easier to pull off if only doing extended.
