I've been a cosmos black, space gray, silver gray kind of M3 driver for years. But when i pick up an M4, there is a good chance it'll be in Sakhir Orange.

Nice! People who get it do swear by it. I like it, although I don't know I'd go that route. Glad you got to see it for yourself.

It looks VERY burnt/blood red orange in most lighting. Once it catches the sunlight directly though, the orange catches fire. It's definitely unique.

I saw it late afternoon, which is when (i assume) it's most glorious.

I changed it back last week. I've realized I abhor white cars and switched to SO. Never been happier.

Well, you're obviously male, so this makes perfect sense.

If my dealer gets two allocations in May (possible), I get one. If not, I get the June allocation... so seems either sometime in May or June. We shall see.

Sounds like Jerez. I've got Jerez on my E92. It's like that, but less dramatic (I think I've seen cosmos.)

I don't think i've seen Jerez in person. Cosmos was available on E36 M3 and E39 5 series. Maybe more...

Edit: Scratch the E39 5er. I was thinking about Avis Blue & Orient Blue. I had contemplated painting my 1985 supra one of those blues before getting the E36 M.

I was so close to getting Azurite. Beautiful under showroom lighting, but just too black otherwise... kind of like Verbiage.

(I'm just kidding but that seemed like a fitting end to that sentence.)
