Z4 E89 35IS Wrap [PICS PAGE 3]

Post by sunnydays » Fri May 05, 2017 11:16 pm

Hey all,

I am in the process of having my 35IS booked in to be wrapped. Currently alpine white, which looks great but I have always been a sucker for orange!

The wrap I have chosen is 3M Fiery Orange, to be installed by the Vehicle Wrapping Center (On the official 3M approved installer list, and has a big portfolio which looks excellent!).

For anyone curious the full wrap in 3M is £1200, £1400 including door interiors and sills.

Will update with pics when this is done :)

excellent choice :thumbsup: the color is stunning and the quality of the wrap is superb, had to repair my front left wing due some parking damage but the new piece is exactly the same color as the older wrap.
You've probably seen this one already...

Thanks for the pics and input everyone! So a further update on this.
I have booked this in but have not officially given them a color for this yet. I am torn between 2 colors which are 3M Fire Orange and 3M Burnt Orange.
3M Fire Orange seems to look very different to the classic BMW Fire Orange. Seems to be much more reddish in terms of overall tone. Pics below, let me know your thoughts guys. The burnt gloss orange is much more like the color I was aiming for.

The Fire Orange Tone I am after is like so:

All the colours seem flat, except the 3m Gloss Fiery Orange.

It looks excellent in the first photo. Does the black roof help, do you think?

My vote is 3M Gloss Fiery :fuelfire: Orange with black roof but no black on the bonnet. Calipers colour matched to the body colour.

The other orange looks flat in most pictures and a bit washed out in others.

Even the original BMW Fire Orange which is paintwork?

Problem here is that all wraps can look so different under different lighting. Thus why the first Z4 in fire orange looks radically different to the last one in fire orange.

Further pics of burnt orange just for variety. Wraps can look so different in different lighting

The burnt orange just looks... 'orange' - the 3M Fiery Orange looks... 'WOW' :thumbsup:
But of course, it's your money and your choice. The advice you're getting in this thread is worth every cent you've paid for it :lol:

Exactly.

It's like guys with black Porsches: "Ah, but it's 'Deep Midnight Velvet Starshine' and so different" or whatever. Er, no fellers: it's black.

And all the oranges above, bar one, look like orange lollipops, anyway. :wink:
