School bus yellow m3 e90 in monterey

While I was buying my LeMans blue e90 today I saw this yellow car. It is a really unique color. I thought I would share.

I know I saw a guy looking for Dakar yellow which this isn't but I bet it is the only e90 in the country with this color

Atacama for sure, and based on this thread and the production numbers, it's the ONLY Atacama in the US and it was this guy's:

The sales mgr said the owner put those wheels on to try and soften up the ride quality.

I like Atacama on the E89 Coupe. I would run it if it came on the E92 M3. So only 1 E90 M3 but any E92 M3s?

previous owner may have sold/traded for cash the ZCPs? I wonder if the salesman is aware its the only M3 in that color in the U.S. and one of only a handful individual E90 M3s ever produced
