Thanks

Same here. They are not accepting even the standard individual colors like Tanz, Azurite. My dealer is following up. He says they have a memo that says individual colors will be accepted till week 33 production but the system won't allow. Hopefully will have more info tomorrow.

Any individual order put in now so close to EOP for the F80 will be denied as all individual resources have been allocated already. If you placed your individual order a bit ago it can explain why it was approved. The dealers getting the free individuals are the resources that have been allocated that I am referring to. Individual colors have a ceiling per MY.

The fact that you found an allocation and can put in an application for a car is pretty impressive. I believe you are stuck with the regular colours unless you find one of the "freebie" individual cars.

Same here...I put the request in for a color that wasn't made. Was denied. Then I put a request in for a color that was already produced and they came back and said they would not have enough time to produce it before EOP.

Confirmed through two separate dealers...BMW is not accepting any individual color. However they are still accepting individual interior.

For F80 or F82? Or both?

Same for me, but I was told his in Mid-May when I placed my order. Was able to choose Tanzanite, but no true individual color.

My Tanzanite F83 completed production last week and is waiting at the port.
I have noticed that individual colors for the F83 have not been on the web site for several weeks.

Yeah I'm getting the telesto for 7% off + $4k rebates so turned out to be a great deal considering the color was free.

Are they just cranking out lots of different individual colors right now?

My dealer was reaching out to me about a "rare" individual Grigio they had coming in, but recently I did an inventory search and about 4 or more other dealers had similarly equipped Griio's in stock.

Yup, they are all going to be exactly the same accept for transmission from what I've seen.
