Sakhir Orange F90 M5

stbm5 · 04-29-2018, 11:34 PM

Black grills will look good, in fact go for a blackout with those wheels!

Greer · 04-30-2018, 12:27 AM

To the OP, would they let me custom order Pure Metal Silver?

supershaft · 04-30-2018, 10:05 AM

That doesn't surprise me. I replaced the grille on the front of my 2018 Audi and it can be pretty expensive with all of the tech and sensors around these newer cars.

Basically, the car had to be recalibrated anytime the bumper or major components in that area are removed/replaced. The recalibration machine for Audi costs around $500k, so really only dealers have it because indy shops can't afford it and so the dealers charge a lot for its services. I think there's also only certain people qualified to use the machine.

I agree with all of the above: I really dislike the chrome on all of these cars and think the black grilles look great with every color. They're a must have in my opinion, especially with the gorgeous wheels.

With an individual color like this - you gotta post more pics man. Can't just post like 5 and high-tail !!! Its not right.

OK - you ask and you get a few more.
A day later and I just can't get over how capable this car is.

Where I come from we would call that "Ticket-Me-Red", good luck with that, but truly beautiful.

BwoodBMW · 05-01-2018, 01:31 PM

its funny... historically I haven't been a huge fan of the Sakhir paint but for some reason it just REALLY works for me on the F90. Especially with the ccbs.

spuntyb · 05-02-2018, 07:03 AM

Congrats, enjoy!

RickFLM4 · 05-02-2018, 07:05 AM

Great color goes well on a great looking car. Enjoy!

It's the new SO with more red in it. A much better colour than the original one ;-)

Maybe blackout the grille using vinyl wrap?
Black grills will complete the look.

I thought there was no visible difference between SO and SOII?

It's the same color, no difference. My F82 is SOII

Very nice, my dad let me take his E60 M5 to my senior prom.

Let them drive it and learn responsibly.

M3 Adjuster · 05-02-2018, 08:22 AM

Looking good ! It's such a big car and That little M5 badge looks sooo small in the grille.

Is that a camera of some sort there that the M5 badge is (essentially ) supporting ? It doesn't appear to float.

I have a friend whose father intentionally buys " old man red " ( maroon or a dark red ) as opposed to Ferrari red, candy apple reds or guards red , for just that reason.
