F80 M3 spotted in (sakhir?) orange

[Jason]

First look in an orange color.

[Dawko]

This and nothing else!

Perhams the goldish color as well but IMO best combo! Sakhir Orange?

[pseto]

Sahkir Orange? Looks pretty good with black wheels

[RMB]

Looks good.

[GOLFFRR]

I like this

[solstice]

Wow, that does look special. I usually don't like black wheels ( I prefer ferrit grey ) but this is a great combo.

In these pix you can also easily see the size of the brake rotors of the upgraded brakes ( CCB ). At the track event I attended there was an M6 GC in frozen silver that had the CCBs and I noticed that the rotors were huge, way bigger than the rotors that was fitted to all the blue caliper standard M5 and M6 brakes. btw frozen silver looks fantastic.

[markeh]

ugh all this camo is getting annoying, just let us see the real thing!!

[W///]

About time. Now I'd like to see the blue colors.

[signes]

Seems to be more and more prototypes out there running the CCBs.

This is the week, can't wait for some details to emerge!

[solstice]

The front wheel gap is a bit concerning taking that this looks like a loaded up car with CCBs and all you would assume it sports the top suspension.

I'm not gonna lie.....


....my F80 M3 WILL likely be Sakhir Orange with black wheels (..and the gold brakes). That combination is fire hot!

[Brosef]

love that color - looks extremely tempting.

I'm actually considering the CCB's. everyone dismisses the option due to its cost and, more importantly, the cost of replacement rotors. if this car manages heat well enough to be track-worthy right out of the box, I figure I'll beat on the CCB rotors until they're toast. after that, I am sure there will be steel replacement rotors available. so $8k upfront vs. a BBK down the road. not much of a difference, aside from the free rotors/pads during the first 4 yrs/48 months that won't be available for CCB buyers.

far from cheap, but those gold calipers and monstrous rotors just look so good to me.

I might opt for those CCB's myself. Damn, this new car is going to be a ringer on my pocketbook, but ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh am I going to enjoy it.

It might be accelerating

[Sean@PSI]

Love this shot and color. Absolutely cannot wait for the ceramics.

[LDSM]

wow.

This is gorgeous

[HeartMD]

Color looks terrific. Really like the contrast with the black wheels.
Is it just me or did anyone else notice how it looks like there is noone driving the car.
