SO is one of those colours that looks really good in person- photos don't do justice. Was thinking about going SO but in the end decided against it as I felt it was a bit too loud for my personal taste

I am in the UK too and when you see those it's looks a little tacky and lessen the class of the car... it is already fantastic as a car

I feel you need black wheels to complete the look. With the normal silver wheels it's meh to me.

It’s all a matter of taste. Personally, I hate black wheels. It looks like you have a black hole at each corner of the car. It also reminds me of an unmarked police cruiser.

Based on photos I didn't consider Sunset Orange but after I got my car (Portimao Blue, which I love) I saw one in Sunset Orange for the first time and it was stunning. Had I seen it earlier it would've been in the running for sure. I think it looks best with Cerium Gray or Black wheels.

All personal preference of course. On a blue car I like the silver wheels.

I went with SO, blind and unseen. Id had grey and black cars previously so i wanted something a bit brighter this time. Blue is lovely, but theres so many i see daily that i decided to go with orange. I was sure on the interior colour for it, i really really like Oyster but my kids would have destroyed that in 5 secs, then it was Cognac, but that wouldnt have gone with the orange at all. In the end I went for Mocha and its turned out to be a cracking combo. I added open pore oak aswell, Its come together nicely.
I do think the G20 benefits from the black or cerium grill though, the chrome does it no favours. |

Pics of my 330i in SO
Dealer pics prior to purchase. Havn’t gotten any of my own yet due to excessive snow!

I considered both SO and OG2 quite seriously 🤔. There is an SO M Sport+ locally that looks stunning when clean and in the sun, however I needed to keep the consistency 🙈

Just a question, did you fit the front spoiler yourself? I have a 330e arriving soon, and bought a spoiler... just thinking about screw points and anything avoid or be aware of, cheers

It certainly stands out, I wasn't sure I could live with it, especially having not seen the colour in real life but I love it and it's no brighter than the blue
