Very rare colour on a M6 Gran Coupé: Sakhir Orange! I think it looks good. What do you guys think?

Sakhir Orange is a beautiful tone, whether on a coupe or GC.

that is an odd looking m6... chrome window trim and I guess those wheels could be winter setups.

Overall, it needs work, but as for the SO, I think it's the best color ///M comes in. It's what I would order.

Very nice!

Chrome trim on the M cars is an option in Europe, not the US. They offered this on the E60 M5 too in Europe.

I think it should never be an option and only come in black.

The chrome trim is also an option in the US. At least my ordered 2015 GC came with it by mistake so BMW replaced it with the black. I, actually, didn't think it looked too bad but I wanted the car that I ordered so I got it changed.

A buddy of mine has one in San Diego. It's cool looking but not color on a car but looks good on the m5 or m3/m4

RichardP · 03-18-2015, 11:04 AM

I think it looks great, but I'd not choose the chrome trim. not that I'm biased or anything!

brad850csi · 03-18-2015, 12:53 PM

Richard, have you got any pictures of it with the summer 343M wheels on it yet?

RichardP · 03-18-2015, 01:29 PM

Those are the 343Ms!!

These are the 409M winters (which are on at the moment)

And it came with 601Ms which I rejected because they were cast and not forged as claimed!

What a beauty

brad850csi · 03-18-2015, 01:39 PM

Ahh sorry Richard, they are so close in style it is hard to tell without comparing them back to back! Have you decided on 275/305 or 265/295 for the summer yet? I'm still voting for 275/305 on the 9.5" and 10.5" wheels

RichardP · 03-18-2015, 01:55 PM

I'll stick with the 265/295 until they wear out, there is a good season in them yet I think.

RichardP · 03-18-2015, 03:19 PM

From the info I have, there have been 158 Sakhir Orange M6 Gran Coupes made so far.
