Rosso is not metallic. Just pure red paint... What does "uni" stand for on the paint tag?

Uni is non-metallic paint.

Yes, they do but they're a PITA to clean and keep clean. Five miles down the road and they're dirty.

I have the 826M Pirelli P-Zero combo on my 23 M4 Comp in Aventurin Red Metallic.
I totally agree with various "PITA to clean" comments.
I have just over 2200 miles on my car, and I have ordered the EBC Red brake pads for front and rear because of the GD brake dust!
I wish BMW would get their s**t together and put on brake pads that don't squeak and have so much brake dust!

Good luck. Even with different pads, you have to deal with the fact that they're black wheels that show road dirt, too. And a lot of brake dust comes from the rotors, not the pads...

I like the orbit grey- how do they stand up to the brake dust? I have the 892s on my X3M and have been looking at 825s for G80 order since I’m not convinced I want to repeat the cleaning routine

They're really good. Being grey, they visually don't show brake dust and road dirt like black wheels. And they have a matte finish, so they need minimal detailing. Just dust off with a rag in between washes if you're OCD like me. Or just wash and dry when you do the rest of the car. I put a coat of Zaino polish on them when new but it wasn't necessary because they're matte. There are a bunch of spokes and crevasses, but not quite as many as the 826s. Being grey, they should look good with almost any paint color, too.

Disregard above post - I see the $1180 is for the carbon side pieces. Crazy cost!

Yeah, that’s weird, it’s never been a metallic, and I swear it’s been listed with the Uni paints in the past too.

Yes, that's a lot for two trim pieces but they look much better than the standard trim.

RC should be the ONLY red (bright red) available for the M3/M4. It really is the one that does Red the most justice!

BTW, anyone notice what a weird word "red" is? Just looks weird typing it on it own.

Nice spec thanks for sharing all of these pictures! Great to see a rare m4 like this. I put down a deposit for a my24 m3 in RC so by next spring/summer I'll be driving something special as well.
