paint
this is a 2002 painted with Valencia Orange, an exclusive BMW color, available on the new BMW 2012 1-Series M Coupe...i love the color, in fact i like it so much i'm considering painting my e21 this color instead of the original bmw korall...interestingly, in my search for colors i've discovered the following about the bmw color korall...
this implies my car was resprayed at some point between 1998 and 2000, which somewhat dates a previous restoration attempt...interesting. i searched the international BMW site and found this 6-Series M Coupe. [Sakhir Orange] is the listed 6-Series color...while the 1 Series is the listed paint color the 6 Series Sakhir Orange seems more close on the computer monitor...

Very well done 2002, not only cosmetically, but mechanically, this car is spot on. Everything from the rare Valencia Orange paint (only available on the new 1-Series M Coupe) to the fuel injected MegaSquirt motor makes for a one of a kind '02...With all that said, description as follows:

No expense spared, exceptional prep, paintwork, and fitment. If you have been considering the purchase of a classic BMW, look at this one closely. These cars are gaining value and this is certainly what I would consider an investment quality automobile. Please take the time to review all the pictures and don't hesitate to call for further questions. (517) 425-0129 I also have contact with a reasonable shipping company and would be glad to assist.
