Others mention Frozen Sunset above. Could be that or something similar - a Priority One Individual color rather than one from the standard pallette.
Agree, look how Red the mini behind it is also.

BMW M GmbH is 2.1 km away and BMW Individual is next door to BMW M GmbH.

There is an other "secret" prototype area 20 min north of Munich that I have been told of by top level BMW AG executives. The early prototypes are housed there.

From the pictures of the G80's posted it appears that these are recently manufactured pre-production cars as the factory build spec sheets are tape to the interior windshield. These cars will probably show up shortly on Ring prototype photos as there is less camo.

The pictures are slightly grainy and washed out making the colors hard to pin point. Maybe digitally zoomed. At a glance they all look like frozen paint. I don’t really like any of these three as they come across in these pictures.

for context take a look at the M340 wheel gap with 19s ( 330 m sport pictured below) and the prototypes out and about, the car will sit like this at minimum, likely lower

Love that we are getting a silver variant!

The black car is wearing the 666 style wheels. Unlike the other 2, yet the black car also has the same front without mesh as the silver car.

The orange car (non comp?!) has the same wheels as the silver car, yet different bumper and diffuser.

I have a CS and I think it's pretty noticeable. These wheels are more complex so IMO it's less noticeable in these pictures.

Those aren't the 666Ms. Those are the new design wheels. Not sure what their designation will be yet. Very similar to 666M though

Colors are interesting. The first almost looks like Lime Rock Grey. And the black looks like a frozen color.

Considering they are on the 620hp M5 comp and M8 comp I’d say they’ll do fine.

Doesn’t look nice though I’ll admit.

What does the silver car has in the door handles area? Is that some kind of disguise or a new design.
