Having had Sakhir orange on my M3 and the leather in my X3M, and seen Toronto red on a X3M in sunlight I will disagree

SO looks more red than Toronto Red to me.
I would also take SO over Toronto Red. I really wasn't impressed with it on the X4M, for a metallic color it really looked flat to me.

Maybe it will look better in a smaller car, some colors don't transition well to larger cars.

Really wish there was going to be a unique blue option (different than standard 3/4 series blue).
And a true red would be nice to get again.

Almost looks matte, but not sure if that's a byproduct of needing to be polished/cleaned, or the image adjustments. Will be interesting

Toronto Red one of the best red paints I've seen from any automaker lately. Stunning in person.

Agreed! I was hoping they'd continue to offer Silverstone II, but this could be a nice alternative.

Toronto Red does have some orange hue to it, especially in bright sunlight, but as far as Sakhir Orange goes, there are two versions of that color that look nothing alike and frankly shouldn't share a name. Sakhir Orange exterior paint is orange. Sakhir Orange interior leather is red. So while Sakhir Orange INTERIOR might be "more red" than Toronto Red exterior is [and I don't know the color values to prove or disprove this], Toronto Red exterior is waaaaaaaaaay more red than Sakhir Orange exterior.

BMW should just bring back Imola Red. It was a hallmark M color, and the M4 Heritage Edition looks straight baller in it.

This. The best real RED. No need to go for full individual like Ferrari Rosso Corsa.
Imola is better.

You might want to hold on that assumption... considering the inside info floating around about a track pack there might be another upgrade option available to both competition and base models that takes either a step beyond whatever the comp pack includes

Unless you are dead set on grabbing one of the HEA cars

Toronto and Nardo are both flat and boring to me. I have hopes for Brooklyn, that color sample look great and the car we suspected being Hockenheim that now is believed to be Brooklyn is likely less Nardo and more Space grey than what it seems in that low resolution picture.

I am definitely not. Somehow, despite spending many hours a week on these forums, i was unaware of this rumor.

I am doing fire orange individual so I am in no rush. My CS lease comes up in April I would like to take delivery then or before the summer.

Good info, and thanks.

Don't think so. Other known colors are far out of range with those corrections applied.

You don’t happen to have one of those handy color samples for Brooklyn to show us next to Nardo and Space grey similar to what you did for São Paulo...?

This is the funniest statement ever. These forums really skew reality. Nardo is played out?!?! In the "real world," your/my chances of coming across another Nardo BMW is VERY slim. In fact, I haven't come across another Nardo M4 in SoCal in the 4 years I've owned my most recent Nardo M4 (...previously I owned a YMB M4). I know there are a few Nardo M3's and M4's out there, but statistically there were not enough Nardo BMW's produced for it to be played out.
