About Sakhir Orange Metallic
Sakhir Orange is a deep burnt-orange metallic named after the Bahrain circuit. It first appeared on M models in the early 2010s and later moved into the BMW Individual palette. BMW also uses the name for an orange leather shade, so check whether a listing refers to the paint or the interior.
