SO is AMAZING!

Rick955 · 04-07-2015, 02:56 PM

Color is even more incredible in person!

Took these with my Note 4. HDR off... Some are in bright sun, some are later afternoon. Photoshop only used to crop and size them down a bit. No other enhancing of the images themselves.

Aside from the Black kidney grills, black side grills, and CF Rear Spoiler, added 15mm spacers all around, and 35% tint.

Once again fantastic. Don't understand why BMW won't offer a chrome delete package from the factory.

Tropicool · 04-07-2015, 03:43 PM

Twinnies!

enjoy it mate - i like the color more and more every day.

RocketBoots · 04-07-2015, 03:45 PM

Looks fantastic!

Dunno why, but I feel like most SO's I've seen are M4's. I like it a lot on the M3 too!

Yeah, you're right... in fact, I've seen so many M4's in these photo threads!! I just love the fat back end on the M3's... those big wheel wells!!

haynstyleM2 · 04-07-2015, 03:55 PM

great looking pics! love SO!

catch · 04-07-2015, 04:07 PM

Stunning

GOLFFRR · 04-07-2015, 04:26 PM

this color gets even better in person

MWA · 04-07-2015, 04:31 PM

I think Sakhir Orange is very photogenic! Always turns out reddish on pics.

From launch pics I loved Sakhir till I saw one in person. The love turned to "like it" then when it came to ordering the M, the more I saw SO the more I wanted another colour.

I still think it's a nice a colour but it's need good sun light.

C5driver · 04-07-2015, 04:33 PM

One of my favorite colors.

Jim B · 04-07-2015, 05:58 PM

SO is the best color on the F8x cars!!

It looks best in broad daylight!

PJD_F80 · 04-07-2015, 06:23 PM

Enjoy, looks gorgeous, and now it's impossible to get!!

My M4 never looks red like yours does in these pictures, even in low light conditions. Looks much more orange.

The Note 4 inherently adds saturation to photos. I could have Photoshopped them a bit to remove some of the saturation, but I didn't want to edit them to that extent. These photos were taken by the dealer... iPhone I believe... overcast day, before any delivery prep... just the plastics and protective stuff removed. Not even the black side grills or CF spoiler are on yet. But even the other photos posted above look pretty close to what I see myself!

Rick955 · 04-07-2015, 07:02 PM

Here's another taken by the dealer, same iPhone, on delivery day, in the garage, under the fluorescent lights. I love this color because every lighting condition can provide a significantly different color... it's really quite amazing. Other F8x colors do this too, but not to the "extent" the SO seems to transform.

Jockey · 04-07-2015, 07:08 PM

Looks amazing. Wish I could've ordered that color
