Melbourne Red & Sakhir Orange does it for me
SickFinga wroteSo it is, post deletedIt's Lagoon Green and it's not related to the Laguna Seca
Hmmm, this one is a head scratcher. BMW decided to classify it as a Special Order color. Is it a borrowed color, like the Nardo and Suzuka Grey?
Laserdude wroteAs others have mentioned Dakar II is not only clear coat based where original Dakar was not- original Dakar was a lead based paint...So whenever a color has a II after it it's the same color as the original and it's just being reintroduced? Or do some of them differ in color?
Its my favorite color but I'm biased....
No love for the Amazing "Alpine White"??????

If you go to the bottom, there's a mini configurator and you can see Lime Rock Grey is one of the choices. The M4 CS is a special order model I think, so maybe that's it? It's definitely not a borrowed color or anything like that, it's unique to BMW.
Great article! Loved the background of the colors.
the butt-hurt on this thread is amazing
I don't know if it's because its in en e46 M3 but. That Interlagos blue is just gorgeous. And that e46 M3 is even more beautiful. It really shows that BMW had its pinnacle a few years ago. I hope they get back to those days.
chucho1026 wroteIs white even a color?No love for the Amazing "Alpine White"??????
j/k
Alpine White, Black Sapphire Metallic are all non M/M classic BMW colors I guess.
You guys are funny.
Always remind me which forum I'm on

Singapore, Melbourne and Daytona Violet.
TodmordenLad wroteBut the real issue is whether to pronounce it "her-rez" or "her-reth."Great compilation, thanks, and love the Jerez Black metallic
The MotoGP commentators can never seem to agree whether to use the Castilian "lisp."
Estoril Blue and Laguna Seca Blue are my favourite BMW colors.Thanks for the detailed info about the colors.
In no particular order, I love:
Imola
Singapore
Silverstone II

Silverstone II

Law wroteI don't even know why I am wasting my time Techno Violet and Bright Red are not M colors
Just off the top of my head: Carbon Black, Techno Violet, Hellrot Red
And please don't make up fairy tales about Carbon Black (actually a reference to carbon paper) being related to racing because of carbon fiber, or that Techno Violet is a reference to racing technology, because none of that true.
Le Mans Blue, but I'm a bit biased
This is a fantastic post. Thank you for putting this together!
