I will check with my local paint stores on Monday. You guys gave me hope in finding this color. I really thought it was impossible to get.

Talk to ind.
If they can't get it..most likely it can't be had..

Who is IND?

It is called FIRE ORANGE, and here is detailed link:

Is BMW making an M3 GTS-esque orange paint available through BMW Individual?

I doubt you can find that exact color by a body shop, you need to get the paint codes from someone who owns a GTS perhaps and even ask BMW how many parts of which paint they sued to make it. You can always just get the fake color..

Not true Donovan. ANY body shop on the planet can mix the color. BMW has to supply the paint mixing code so an owner can have a car repair done otherwise they'd have to send it to the Welt for any repairs and we all know they aren't doing repairs. Hell, you could walk into a BMW parts department and order the touch up paint.

Limited Edition "Tiger M3" in China...btw,price tag around 1.5M RMB!!! we're kinda rich,but not that rich man!!!....
for the paint,any decent body shop should have the computerzied mixture can mix that color.
and prices depends on brands of paint.

So I called 2 places and the color code doesn't come up.

Called the store gave them the code and nada. Thanks for your help maybe this can be useful.

Take a look around the forums... IND does incredible work on lots of our M3s. From small projects like painted reflectors to building CUSTOM M3s. Here's one of my favourites:

Who is IND?

Ind distribution
They're a sponsor here
They're responsible for all the Atlantis blue madness

I think that the guys at IND think the GTS is painted INKA as per there statement on the brembo caliper paint thread. When I called he wasn't sure how they could get it or what color it was. Maybe I just spoke to the wrong person Nice person though.

That color would be SO cool. Make sure to do it right and spend time picking a good shop though. With paint they have to disassemble almost the entire car to get all the pieces and inside of the engine bay.

YES, Dirty Devil Customs in Sherman Oaks, CALL THEM, ask for Eric.
