I love this color combination! It's either AW or SG with Sakhir Merino interior for me.

The orange reflector can easily be painted to match body color, or you could do what I did to my previous E93 M3 and have them filled and made to look like a euro bumper, which is what i would do if I end up with the M5

They ruin the amazing body that the M5 has, paint them or fill them up with some kind of material Asap! That way the true M5 will shine

Sakhir Orange is not an easy interior color to photograph accurately. It tends to come out redder than in real life.

Take a look at these photos that clar previously posted of his Sakhir Orange Merino interior, it's very close to real life.

I might be annoying already but are the orange reflectors some requirement for the us market related to a law or something?Because I don't believe that BMW thinks their cars look better with that sh*t on.My childhood bicycle had such things.

Yup, sadly DOT (Dept of Transportation Requirement) here is the US. i have 'Euro' cornered all my cars, some have been a royal PITA such as the E39 M5 and B7 RS 4 (e.g. required baking the headlights in the oven to soften the adhesive and pop out the amber reflectors/lenses). At the end worth it, but some tense moments while at it.
