About Fire Orange
Fire Orange is a bright, non-metallic orange that dates to BMW's 1970s sports models and is tied to M heritage. BMW has revived it for anniversary editions and now offers Fire Orange III as a BMW Individual paint. It is a saturated, warm orange that is lighter and less brown than Sakhir Orange.
