Valencia Orange (VO) was initially supposed to be a test mule color only.
"Why Valencia Orange?
Ironically, the 1M was first presented to Dr. Segler in Valencia Orange and it was so good that the color made it to the production model. As a fun fact, we observed Dr. Segler was wearing a new Rolex Milgauss which had a black dial with orange second hand and dash marks. True love for the color scheme…"

During the 2011 NA International Auto Show Dr. Kay Segler (CEO of BMW M GmbH) disclosed that VO is his favorite 1M color:
"It's on offer in three colors but definitely this is the color you'll have to order: it's Valencia Orange".
IMHO VO suits well the 1M.
Is it really an issue for you that other BMW cars might sport VO too?
Trophy car? C'mon, as long as
you like the color, all's fine, isn't it? After all, it's a car, not your wife.
