The orange is stunning in person. Probably loud for a dd, but there will always be buyers for it. I've already had offers for my LSB.

When I owned an '03 Phoenix Yellow M3 with Imola Red leather, I would receive offers periodically, and that car was largely regarded as the "Ronald McDonald" M3 on E46Fanatics. |

I like the orange (and yellow for that matter) a lot. My first car was a 1973 VW Camper top Van orange ext/int. But would I order my M3 in that color? Hell no. I just wouldnt want to dd it. Too much attention from everyone to include law enforcement (just like red). It sure is a fun color to look at though...

FO would be great, especially if not using for a DD. I agree with aajami, you may find a smaller pool of buyers for resale but those will have strong feelings about orange. I've seen a few orange RS4s for sale and they don't last long.
PM me the name of the dealer if you don't wind up going with the Big O...

Only if you plan to use the car as a track car only and plan to modify seats, dash, etc...
Options are a big deal, you can slap the 5k paint option on any other car... Tell the dealer to hook the car up with some more options and you'll go from there... |

absolutely not
unless if you can get it with leather and options orange will be bad idea especially when the dealer is trying to sell this to you.Just because the dealer said it makes me extra suspicious. besides 5K for color paint is completely waste of money since resale will not count on this --in contrast this color will drop the retail even more. and you will get nauseous by the basic seats as well. stick with your awesome space gray.

I bought my e92 in August and before that had a Grabber Orange Mustang GT. I will tell you from experience that if you are interested in resale than tread carefully. If you find someone that loves the colour you are set but otherwise it will hurt you.
Also, SG on FR looks great so either choice is going to be awesome. |

For those that consider individual colors, resale value is largely irrelevant.
Fire Orange and similar colors are for those who like bright colors. If you like it, then that's your choice. I also contemplated a Fire Orange car but decided against it even before being told it was sold. Bottom line is that such a car will get a lot of attention, whether on the street or a parking lot. I personally would not want to deal with that kind of attention. Imagine parking it at a mall. Every M-fan or ill-doer is going to be checking out your car, standing around it, etc. I would not be surprised is some fool intentionally scratched your car while parked at a mall - just because it's an attention-getting M3. |

I personally like the orange, but resale is a problem. let's say you will keep it for ever, you will regret not getting the options. I love my options. I have a fully loaded. I went last weekend and looked at a used 09 no options, and it sucked. I specially love the leather. cloth seats are not for me. good luck.
