BMW didn't "reuse it"

BMW M3 Lime Rock Edition came in Fire Orange color
BMW M3 CS came in Lime Rock Grey metallic color

One is the name of a color, another is a name of a special edition

Thanks for clarifying! My vote is for the Fire Orange for whoever was thinking about the M4 individual

If I were to repaint my beloved Red Roadster....it would be Donington Gray Metallic.

JustChris · 01-29-2020, 03:27 PM

Misano Blue these days rather than Red.

MUFCbmwbear · 03-19-2020, 01:16 PM

My picks
Nogaro, Lime Rock and SSII from the M Circuit Colors
Moonstone for Non Circuit Individual
you see my pattern

DenverSteve · 08-14-2021, 07:31 PM

Man, that's a lot of different blue colors/names.

jlapicki · 08-25-2021, 01:04 PM

My San Remo Green Metallic is on it's way.....

Excellent color.

You rarely spot SRG these days. Phew...this one's gonma be a head-turner.

After looking at all of the colors my favorite is Yas Marina Blue. There is something special about this color, it is a head turner every time I see one on the road. Also in my opinion it looks really different depending on the lighting and the color changes when viewed during the day vs. night.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Misano Blue on my G29 Z4 but if Yas Marina Blue had been offered for the 2022's I would have selected it in a flash!

1903 Gordon Bennett Cup…British Racing Green?

jlapicki · 05-03-2022, 07:36 PM

Here is my San Remo green....

Updated with M4 grill....

Westside Guy · 05-14-2022, 09:03 AM

The interior is the perfect partner to the SRG. I would drive with the top down as often as possible to show it off.

British Racing Green is tops in my book.

Maybe we can add Zandvoort Blue?

Jashue · 07-04-2025, 04:10 PM

Bravo! Amazing post!
All those circuits I've never heard of-- but no love for Watkins Glen?

I have owned several BMWs in my life but the is my first full M car. We need to add a race in Brooklyn...
