I thought phantom grey was a Toyota original with no Bmw paint code? Either way, as someone else mentioned, bmw currently has a gorgeous orange on offer for their 340i. I’m not going to lie, I’d be salty if they offer a metallic orange soon. That was the #1 color I wanted on the mkv.
Interesting never knew Phantom Grey was possibly unique to Toyota, but what about Frozen Grey II on the Z4? All I see quick searching online is Toyota saying Phantom Grey is bespoke to Toyota, but I feel like whatever Toyota says I have to read between the lines. Seems like a coincidence that Phantom Grey is new/bespoke to the Supra at the same time Frozen Grey II is new/bespoke to the Z4....

For fun, maybe the orange will be an homage to Paul Walker and a play on word like CU Later Grey.....U Owe Me 10 Second Orange or just for short UO Me Orange.

Assuming it's a BMW color like the rest, I would bet it's going to be Sakhir Orange or Sunset Orange. Fire Orange would be great as well though.
BMW Fire Orange looks the closest to the colour Toyota previously teased:

Orange.webp

Interestingly, according to the Australian Toyota press release website, the MY23 changes were announced on April 28, 2022. I wonder if Toyota is sticking to the same sort of timeframe this year?

In any case, beyond the predicted colour changes, the rumor mill has been awfully quiet of late.

Unless your car is getting a battery in it, the US press is extremely quiet ? ?

Looks like you guys were right about the orange...
Nice find.

Hopefully it's not just color change and additional badge. It's limited to 100 in Japan, wonder what that means for other markets.
I'd say in the US it'll be the pay extra version, while everywhere else it will just be a regular colour option, replacing the yellow.

Probably true. But if it's just a color change kind of a lack luster special edition compared to manual edition and cf edition. Atleast the color change for the refraction blue came with a power boost.
