    Why we love it:

    A BMW i8 is already a rare and quirky thing. Now, throw in BMW Individual Fire Orange paint and matching leather segmentation and stitching and you have a truly unique thing indeed. We found the car posted by Evan Lerner on the BMW Individual market & discussion Group on Facebook where he shared that the car is from the Michael Fox collection, a collector who has had “a few special (BMW) Individual cars in the past,” including an Austin Yellow M2.

    The car goes on the block on January 18, so check it out soon.

    Why we love it:

    BMW’s Fire Orange made quite the impact when it was applied to the North American market-specific M3 Lime Rock Edition and RoW-only M3 GTS during the E9X generation, as it was just as in-your-face as the four-liter V8 shoved between it’s front fenders. In the time since, Fire Orange has had a few iterations (now on its third) and take rate seems to be somewhat slim. I suppose we can’t really blame potential buyers for not selecting P7E as their BMW Individual (option code 490) hue of choice when Tailoring a nearly $100,000 M3 or M4, but we have to assume quite a few give it some real thought. With that, we say be bold, enjoy someone else’s depreciation, and take the plunge.

  • BMW Individual Fire Orange – U94

    BMW Individual Fire Orange – U94

    This one is HOT! Fire Orange (U94) is famously associated with the BMW M3 GTS, a limited-edition track-focused variant of the E92 M3. It has since been available on other models through BMW Individual.

    Fire Orange is a bright and vivid orange, making it one of the more attention-grabbing colors in BMW’s palette. It typically has a high-gloss finish, which enhances its bold appearance and highlights the car’s lines and contours.

    Below is a gallery of several BMW cars painted in Fire Orange and posted to Instagram by some of our favorite accounts.
