That Orinoco car would look sick if it was just a regular ZCP build with black 666s, black seats, and CF trim. It's a shame they had to butcher it like that.

Really weird config: 6MT, wood trim, sunroof, those wheels look like 18" winter wheels?

And both are 6MT

The dealer did a terrible job on the pics for the Blue one tho..

cwhands · 05-07-2018, 10:42 AM

Would love to see proper pics of both colors lol...

That blue combo is probably pretty nice but not sure why they would make the 437M flat black

Nice color combos.

White interiors really pop!

I agree and also needs a carbon roof.

CPWINCH · 05-07-2018, 01:46 PM

Both clean

You're right...not sure how I came up with that

ilia · 05-07-2018, 07:59 PM

I like the color combo on the blue car, but would need better pics to make sure. The rest of the configuration is not my cup of tea.

geroz1 · 05-07-2018, 11:15 PM

Some wild combos but to certain audiences I can see how the blue one is appealing. Some people don't like carbon or the zcp wheels... didn't see that blue beforehand.

clutchdj · 05-07-2018, 11:37 PM

that wood trim is just... taboo

eau_rouge · 05-08-2018, 04:29 AM

Orinoco Blue has the standard 19" wheels painted in all black I guess. That wood trim and the sunroof option are horrible btw.

IM2C · 05-08-2018, 07:09 AM

Wood trim.

MPoweRo · 05-08-2018, 08:06 AM

That blue, amaro, wood trim one is the weirdest build I've seen that isn't the M3 30 years American Edition.

gatorfast · 05-08-2018, 08:55 AM

I kind of like the wood trim with the brown leather. Classier look over sporty

I saw this car in person at the Encinitas dealer, and it actually looks really COOL in person. Like many individual colors, pictures don't do it justice. And the color combo actually would great together.

Needs CF trim and stock wheels (either 437 or 666)

Guess what goobers! I'm in the process of buying this one!

Bought because of the color, the leather, and the 6MT. Couldn't find an allocation to save my life and the M3 is literally the only car on the planet that is a MT premium sports sedan
Sunroof is a bummer. Wife is pleased. May wrap in cf vinyl
Wood trim is a wild card. We'll see how it looks. May wrap in cf if it looks like hot garbage
Wheels will be replaced. HRE FF04's are leading contender. Nice to get a "free" set of winter wheels to go with the winter tires I have from my current M3

Now tell me how much of a mistake I've made

What's the story with this car? Customer ordered and backed out?

timhatimay · 05-14-2018, 08:43 PM

I really like the Orinoco Blue one. The interior with the wood is unique, and it reminds me of the E39s with wood that have a classier look. Everyone F80 on the road has CF interior trim, so it's nice to see something different.
