I’d go black again for calipers.

If I go red calipers, I'll go black interior. That much I can tell you.

The king of aggressive design and orange paint mainly paint the calipers in the same orange and have black interiors with orange stitching BUT there are a few car delivered with that combo as this Uterus...



Here’s their go to combo.



I prefer the latter

One thing to consider, let's say, hypothetically, if I do Red calipers and a Silverstone interior, the extent to which I tint cars would prevent anyone from seeing it in the first place.

Like, even now with the two tone interior of my CS, you can't even see it. Just think aloud. Thanks for the pics my man.

I would want to see a real picture of Frozen Orange before committing to it.
It’s a lot of cash to spend for something you’re not 100% certain of.

You and me both brother, you and me both.

That would certainly help but you will still notice it looking out of the windscreen and any design conscious lady friend (is there any other kind) you invite into your car will for sure...

Having experienced an E92 M3 in Fire Orange I'd stick by my suggestion to keep it black inside and let the FO do all the talking.

That's advice coming from experience and I think I'll take it. The only reason I'm going frozen orange is because I don't think they'll approve fire orange this early in the model cycle.

Frozen orange exterior, black interior orange stitching.

Job done I’d reckon

Agreed, but they won't approve the custom stitching for a very early production run.

Completely disagree about the Silverstone with frozen orange, particularly from the rear. It's distinctive, and looks awesome. I love mine with Tanzanite. Not that I love SS so much, but boring black interiors should be illegal.

Have you spoken to BMW Individual directly?

They won't talk to anyone yet. I'm relying on my client adviser to confirm what we believe (that they WON'T approve fire orange at the get go) when possible.

I found this on IG... it's frozen but I can't tell if it's frozen orange or red. Hell, it could even be a photoshopped pic, too, but to me it looks legit.

Holy Sh*t. Looks amazing. Thanks for this...too bad they aren't offering it in the US, at least not initially. What page was this on?

[solstice]

Looks like frozen Sakhir.

I think it's Sunset Orange as it's base color.

No problem! It was on @jps_photo but it was the only pic of it I saw.

Agree on both counts. Looks fantastic and does appear to be "Frozen Sunset" as speculated.

This color really needs to be offered everywhere. If BMW NA had to choose just two for the US, I would have voted for this over Frozen Portimao since non-Frozen Portimao is already in the lineup, but Sunset is not.

I am now considering 2 colors: Frozen Portimao Blue and Toronto Red. I am interested in your thoughts on Frozen Portimao versus the Frozen Blue the M3/M4 CS came with.

I love the uniqueness of the matte colors, but I think Portimao Blue is the least exciting color I've ever seen. Thanks.
