I think it's quite interesting actually. Definitely Individual.

@Jason wow.. what a color. Although as an individual order, the customer (owner of the car) stopped short and the car took the hit for it.

This is the first time a car left me speechless. But then it leaves you thinking of possibilities.

- the chrome clashes. needs to be replaced with black to add contrast that fits.

- although the M brakes are fantastic, unfortunately they do not fit the car. black brembos with yellow lettering would look great.

- the wheels must be changed to HRE style P44 in black with the "HRE" letters on the wheel painted yellow (paint matched to the car). specially made HRE center caps should be installed to tie in the theme.

- the roof should be cut and a carbon fiber roof should be installed in place to fit the yellow race theme.

This car has incredible potential. If I for some reason ended up with this car, I would make the above changes a few more added details. The end result would leave everyone calling it a taxi cab left drooling..

Until then, ring taxi it is!

Nope...Not feeling it. No M5's should be yellow.

Chrome window trim is very popular in the UAE. Most M5's seem to have that option there.
Also, there's chrome throughout. If you change one, change it all, including the side vents.

If I have the money to go Individual M5 in Atacama Yellow with Aluminum window trim then why not going for Individual brake calipers in ... yellow, or red, or black.

The chrome trim is actually Titanium because this is what you get with the individual package. I hope they gave the option to change to shadow line trim for this color.
