Orion Silver F30
Haven't seen any shots of Orion Silver so far. Came across these and thought I'd share...

i saw a sport line one for sale after a google search- didn't look as bad as I think the lux line looked. but still, they should have just called it light gold bc that's what it is.

I don't think they let you get this color unless you are over the age of 80

It's not an individual color for 2013 in the US. It is shown as a regular metallic in our configurator.
I don't think it's that bad, and I'm comfortably under 80 Not saying I'd order it, but I think it's nice to just see something on the forum other than white, black, Estoril Blue II, gray, EBII, red, or EBII for a change BTW BMW apparently thought enough of Orion silver to use it in the press photos of the E89 Z4. Looks a bit lighter and more silvery than your standard Camry/Lexus/Minivan beige, though I keep thinking they could swap one letter and call it Onion Silver, would be more descriptive... |

Lol The color does looks better on the z4 than on the 3 series sedan. I agree it's better to have something different, but...
I have a feeling in late October BMW will add another color for f30 production.

hahha Onion Silver is way more appropriate!
another M Sport color choice would be nice.. Something bright, but not as bright as the Red. Personally I love the matte estoril blue (probably called something else) that I saw on a new M5 but your guess is as good as mine. I think this color would look great on the F30:

This car doesn't look like a C-Class, it looks like the color someone driving the c-class might pick...

Either you are a female or you are old for picking this color... sorry but that's how it is...
