I love the SO on the G20. I used to have a 135 in Sedona Red, which was actually very orange and looked similar to this. I like it, I would get one but its not for everyone.

I am super biased after just recently taking delivery of a 2020 M340xi with full M Performance CF & Gloss Black Kit along with anything else I could check off during purchase.
I looked at tons of cars and colors and I am extremely selective but more of a guy who likes to push the envelope and set trends rather than follow the herd. I went for Sunset Orange Metallic and when I told my employees I ordered an orange car they were all laughing at me. When the car showed up everyone was saying how great it was. If you like it get it! If you care what other people think then maybe don't get it. Last edited by SunsetSleeper; 11-08-2019 at 06:28 PM.. |

For what it's worth, I happily pulled the trigger and, after a long wait, took delivery last week.

Having my G20 in Sunset Orange for 6 months, still not tired of it. Seems it will age well as its rather uncommon color not offered on many models and not chosen as often on G20 series as well. On the other hand I tend to meet Montego/Portimao Blue BMWs almost daily.

I too went for Sunset Orange - ordered before the new model was in the showrooms so only went by press release photos.
When the car was delivered, I knew I had made the right decision, I too went with the Oyster interior. Here is my 'Sport' model....

thank goodness you didn't check off that foil "m performance" decal if the dealership left that off like the splitters consider it a godsend though if you paid for it I'd return it... could we see the rear ? They might have screwed you on the diffuser as well 😏😅 |

I love my SO 330i, it's such a different colour depending on the light/weather and as said before a rare sight on UK roads

I don't like attention so it isn't the color for me, but I can understand people liking SO. However, I can't understand mating it with anything but black interior... Just as I wouldn't match brown shoes and belt with an orange suit. Also, I think this color demands the gray trim pieces be blacked out, adding to the expense.
Just my opinion.

That car was great and I will miss it, but it was starting to look and feel dated for sure. The G20 has really grown on me and the Tech uplift is remarkable.

I agree. With sunset orange, the rest of the car has to be blacked out for it to look menacing. Else, the chrome/cerium gray just kills it.

Sans the black wheels. Looks too much like Halloween on steroids. An oem black lip rear spoiler to match the black front grill would look sick.
