Atacama Yellow E90 M3

DerekSelmanRacing · 04-01-2011, 11:15 PM

My dad has one on order. Week 17 is the production date! Color is currently only available on Z4.

Update With First pics.

Crazy Bimmer · 04-02-2011, 12:20 AM

Nope havent heard of any. A couple Dakar yellow though I think.

persian54 · 04-02-2011, 03:55 AM

o that color on the z4 special?

it's sick

i love it

SchnellM3 · 04-02-2011, 07:03 AM

Did he get a individual interior as well? I love the interior on the Z4

GOLFFRR · 04-02-2011, 09:47 AM

haven't seen it on a M3 yet but sold a Z in that color. Its bright! that will be cool to see it on the M3!

Are you talking about this color?

SchnellM3 · 04-02-2011, 11:42 AM

Anyone up for doing a photo shop of this???

aajami · 04-02-2011, 12:16 PM

I believe someone called this Speed Yellow, but it looks mighty close to Atacama:

This may finally be the color that might make me spring for the Individual $5000 paint. Fire Orange is a good one too. Both with Black ZCP wheels.

ddigangi · 04-02-2011, 01:25 PM

if your dad has it on order with BMW, that would probably mean it exists..

DerekSelmanRacing · 04-02-2011, 02:06 PM

"Speed yellow" is a porsche color, if I'm not mistaken, but that does appear similar to atacama. Somebody may have beaten me to it! Does look good!

joel (dad)

No, I did not go for individual interior, you have to run out of money somewhere. Bamboo beige non-extended leather E90 with ZCP, DCT, etc.

Yeah, I know. But someone posted that yellow E92 on this forum last year and specifically called it Speed Yellow, and others chimed in about how odd it is that BMW and Porsche would share the same name for the same color. Looks good either way.

Wow, this is much much better than dakar yellow. Very nice.

rbk1115 · 04-02-2011, 05:41 PM

Nice color! I like it! Saw it on the Z4 at BMW of San Diego today.

PKL · 04-02-2011, 06:11 PM

It's nice but I prefer Dakar.

jmflukeiii · 04-02-2011, 06:22 PM

That's cool. I've seriously been considering doing a different color for the car; its great to start out with something unique

tlp · 04-19-2011, 11:45 PM

Atacama > Dakar

CrazyJoe · 04-20-2011, 12:09 AM

kaykay · 04-20-2011, 02:24 AM

Is that Atacama Yellow on that Individual M3???

If so, looks incredible. I've always liked Dakar but that yellow is breathtaking.

Wow...Atacama on Bamboo? Hmmm... Such a flashy exterior with a more "classy" look interior color? Not to mention they seem to entirely clash.

I would do black, much safer, classic sporty look. But hey, that's just me...
