Looks like Fire Orange is the current marketing colour of choice.

Here's an M5 LCI in the same bright colour - https://www.instagram.com/p/CII-puYHGPc/

By driving this car, the owner will get the at least twice the minimum amount of daily Vitamin C. Love the color!

It may turn into a polarizing color, i.e., you love it or hate it but count me in on the love side for a 3-year lease vs a long haul color of choice. That said I'd pass on this one as for whatever reason the dealer ordered it without the Driving Assistance Professional package.

The DA Pro package is so beneficial for daily driving above and beyond the benefits of the Competition package IMO. So much so that although I'm an audiophile if I had was forced to choose between it and the B&W I'd go with the DA Pro package and live with the H&K. It's absolutely sacrilegious given my preference for high end audio but with a year of DA Pro usage that's my honest assessment ant it is mind boggling to me that a dealer would order a spec car without DA Pro to save $1700 on the total MSRP of a $150K plus car.

Agreed with you completely. Give me Executive/DA Pro and the likes before ZCP, B&W, etc!

This is a very nice color which truly fits any M car especially when many black details are onboard (wheels, diffusor, mirrors, tinted windows etc.).

Really cool - (though black wheels would match better):

Although I'm generally not a fan of black wheels I couldn't agree more that this exterior color just flat out is a perfect match for them.

Me too, and agree on the right colors they really make it and themselves pop.

I do not know if it's just me....or if it also happens to you people. BUT I am so infatuated with the 8 series that I am appreciating several color combos (interior / exterior / wheels) that in the past with other BMW models I would have simply ignored. This fire orange is one of them as is my current sunset orange. Montegi red for the M8 is another example. And I can also add Java green to my "newly" appreciated colors.

There's so many to choose from. Here's a way to waste an hour or so:
