could it be the one from NAIAS? I just can't figure out this damn VO? its seems
so much......???? no words for it, but as M3 ADJ. said indeed " you can't catch
the VO on a picture"

Finally a pic of a dirty one, under "real life" lights. Well, don't know, but I still love the color.

So, it didn't really help me in my hopeless color-choice situation between VO and BSM.

Guess it's me, but I am still all in on the V.O. Having a CBM e46M3 I have enjoyed the "multiple personality" look and the V.O. certainly can take on many looks ...... wonder where they are?

Lol, I had an M3 E46 in CBM (such a beautiful color), too.

Well, there's no doubt for me that the VO is a beautiful color and suits great with the 1M. My problem is that the color is maybe way too eye-catching.

Diver · 01-24-2011, 07:32 AM

VO would be a bit much for me, but I don't have to worry because my 135i is going to be with me for another 3 years.

Dackelone · 01-24-2011, 08:00 AM

Humm... heading South to Daytona?

JimBeemer · 01-24-2011, 08:11 AM

New Jersey has the ugliest license plates in the union.

as7920 · 01-24-2011, 08:12 AM

That picture has finally decided it for me.

I think this one confirms what people have been saying that IRL it looks copper or bronze.

Alpine White it is then.

Have you seen the new NY plates? NJ are gorgeous in comparison.

Lets see...it's not white, it's not black....

rapter · 01-24-2011, 08:40 AM

it is copper more than it is orange. And that is what the colour looks like in reality

Alessandro · 01-24-2011, 08:53 AM

Why HESS and not Shell?

Interesting color. Not sure i am liking it. Would have to see in daylight and maybe in person. A friend had mentioned it was really nice but not sure if the night time and gas station lights are making it look like poop brown.

Only when it is under indirect lights. Under sunlight or autoshow spot lights.... it is bright orange. The metalic orange pops under direct (sun or spot)light(s).

JHOOPS2 · 01-24-2011, 09:15 AM

I like it except for the quad tips. I know I'm a minority on this, but I think it would have looked a lot better with dual single outlets like on the 335i.

I think tips are to small and childish design, would be good to change to PE ones. That would help

JHOOPS2 · 01-24-2011, 09:44 AM

Yeah, they look like Auto Zone shelf items.

KingOfJericho · 01-24-2011, 09:51 AM

They might stick out a little farther but they really are almost identical to the E9X M3:
