Nice! Best color combo IMO. What options are you going with?

Absolutely! Will be purchasing a gopro explicitly for the trip! And yes, there will be Ring action.

Very nice. Is that orange?

Manuél Ferrari > TulsaMtnBiker (OkieRising)

What is the name of that color? Is it like the new version of the cool orange/red color that the E21 came with?

Have you done Euro Delivery before? I picked up my BMW that way and it was an absolutely incredible trip.

scoob > Manuél Ferrari
04/09/2014 at 20:51

I think it's Valencia Orange, though I could be wrong.

Sakhir Orange.

How old are you? If you're my age, then I might consider a divorce so my wife can't tell me no (I kid)

Saracen > Manuél Ferrari
04/09/2014 at 21:11

I think it looks great on the M cars, and I like it with the orange seats....but that is a little excessive.

Manuél Ferrari > Saracen
04/09/2014 at 21:19

I kind of like the orange seats too. But wow the orange dash and steering wheel... Very excessive.

Imagine trying to resell one of those cars...

You lucky, lucky man. Please post updates on the car! Also, what are you planning to do with your F30? Any major track plans?

Indeed it's Sakhir Orange. I love that it changes from deep red to the orange above based solely on the lighting!

TulsaMtnBiker (OkieRising) > Saracen
04/09/2014 at 22:52

Originally wanted a stripper version, but I went with: Exec Pack, Lighting Pack, Black 19s. And yes the glorious god ZF 6 Speed MANUAL.

F82 good sir (or ma'am). And yes, I'll be getting some track time in with her! We will spend the last day or two of the trip at the Ring! Once back home I'd like to hit the local tracks and auto-x events.

This will be my first time! I'm terribly excited! Just booked tickets tonight!

I was! I live in Denver now, but still have family in Tulsa. Once I take stateside delivery I'll be driving through there.

Sakhir Orange to be exact; it shifts between red and orange depending on lighting.

TulsaMtnBiker (OkieRising) > Mike Leary

The glorious god's ZF 6 speed MANUAL!

I love the Performance wheels, but I'll probably pass. Why? Because I'll have HUD instead =)

The M Double-clutches from the E92 on are pretty damn amazing though, miles better than the old SMG boxes.

04/09/2014 at 23:12

wow, what an awesome color

exizeo - still loving fourza > Saracen
04/09/2014 at 23:29

I hope it has cocaine white leather, too.

Anyone remember that guy at the port?

Anyways, grats on the purchase. Drop a S65 in it...I dare you.

TulsaMtnBiker (OkieRising) > Biggus Dickus (RevsBro)
04/09/2014 at 23:49

I agree. If this was a track only car, then I would have picked up the DCT. However, my current policy is, "If it has three pedals available, thou shall buy three pedals." It's also the best car jacking ddeterrent you can have.

Manuél Ferrari > TulsaMtnBiker (OkieRising)

That is really cool! Now I want one too, haha

congratulations! Which interior color did you pick to go with that Sakhir Orange?

TulsaMtnBiker (OkieRising) > BKRM3
04/10/2014 at 09:04

I went safe and got the black leather. However, a little part of me really wanted to the Red on Red combo.

That's really the worst part about BMW offering Sakhir Orange as an exterior color. I love my Fox Red so much I couldn't imagine having a black interior. But do you realllllly go red-on-red? Meh. I don't envy you in making that call. I do think the black is probably the choice I'd make as well, but I can't help thinking that you really do give up a bit of interior enjoyment for exterior awesomeness. Although, now that I think about it, I might be tempted by Silverstone... Of course, if I were ordering this car it would be Yas Marina Blue Metallic and Sakhir Orange (full), so I wouldn't have this dilemma =)

TulsaMtnBiker (OkieRising) > BKRM3
04/10/2014 at 13:15

With any other color I would have picked SO for the interior in a heart beat. Without seeing the Yas Marina in person, I couldn't risk it.

That said, looks like only 66 coupes with the Sakhir Orange have been ordered. Surprise surprise about about 50% ordered so far are white.

BKRM3 > TulsaMtnBiker (OkieRising)
04/10/2014 at 14:32

It's hard to hate on the "traditional" BMW colors like AW and BSM but like, jesus man, there are SO many great color options offered for the interior and exterior. Why not live a little? I love that you placed an order for a Sakhir Orange car, and that you're going to track it. I just posted about a track day I did earlier this week, if you wanna check it out =) I expect plenty of pics/video from your ED trip!

TulsaMtnBiker (OkieRising) > BKRM3
04/10/2014 at 17:36

My thoughts exactly. I like the classic Alpine White, but it's just a bit boring. I'll definitely be posting videos and photos.

Here's the true icing: We'll be in a group of 20+ M3/4s!

BKRM3 > TulsaMtnBiker (OkieRising)
04/10/2014 at 17:42

20+??!!!! Why? How? So awesome.

Sakhir Orange is THE color to get. Congrats!
