85's are nicknamed FYK (finest year K) though that's debatable.  Nevertheless, we need photos and details!

Hello there. I believe it’s Mohave Red. I’ll confirm from the original owner in a few weeks.

Hello there. I believe it’s Mohave Red. . . .
Lift the seat, look for a paint code sticker and give us the number if you find one.

Baja Red is the correct name from what the 1st owner just told me.

Here's how it got that tag. (https://forums.bmwmoa.org/showthread.php?4534-Why-is-the-85-K100-the-quot-Finest-Year-K-quot&s=405b4aa3ee1f20db297c723058093b14&p=42512&viewfull=1#post42512)

Thanks for the link!! 
I just rode it for the first time as I drove it home and am impressed with its design and Powers’s well as brakes.  It’s a comfortable ride. Now come the fun of getting all the small details worked out. There’s ample opportunity to tinker as temp gauge is pegged full, volt gauge inop,left turn button missing, slight surge during steady rpm bet 40-50... 
Full tank of high test and 1/2 bottle of Techron does require a long highway ride tho so first things first!! 😎

It's time for you to learn how to correctly orient photos uploaded from your phone as a courtesy to elderly members here with limited neck mobility.  :giggles  You can do it; I know you can.

🙃 I’m sure I can learn! They are taken oriented correctly, appear correct in my “photos” yet so far when they post, they get turned.. must be this EYE 👁 phone..
Prolly not as smart as they say ... I’ll read the guidance thing 🤓
