I hope those colors look good in person. The program should allow one to chose their color from more than 3 choices. Bentley RR and most other high end cars you can choose any color you want.

GBPackerfan1963 - Thanks for the vote of confidence - glad to see you were successfully able to change your color! My production date just moved up today from week 40 to week 36 - so I assume there shouldn't be an issue getting the color changed to Tanzanite Blue. I like the Azurite Black too (the goodwood pistonheads BMW looks almost more like this color than the TB due to the lighting). Hoping the pistonheads car is in fact Tanzanite Blue and NOT Azurite Black - and going to send a note to my Client Advisor right now - fingers crossed they should be able to make the switch - did you get any slack in making your modification from the dealer?

No problem changing. He just laughed b/c after I switched back to the 6MT, I promised him no more changes. I lied. He say he does have to get approval from the Region VP and get the paperwork started.

I feel like they should let me get techno violet for $1950 and not. $5k. It's a classic BMW color and, well, it's techno freaking violet. I feel like there must be someone at BMWNA who agrees with me.

Nice move.

A little Tanzanite Blue tease. Shines and sparkles in the sunshine.

That shot reminds me of Interlagos Blue. I've seen the TB up close and personal on a 4GC. That's when I knew if I had a choice and it wasn't $5K, I would jump on it.

There are four colors but only three are shown in the swatches currently in the OP.

BMW lets you choose any color as well. This thread only covers the four that BMW is featuring on the M3/M4 at a much lower price than you pay when you pick from all available colors in the palette.

So I just exchanged a few emails with an SA out in California and he is telling me I can get Ferrari Red or Light Red from BMW Individual for five grand, as was previously stated in this thread.

My issue is that with that exterior color I would want black leather interior with red inserts and he said that wouldn't be possible.

I'm gonna stick with my order of white on SO.

There are more than three choices. But there are only three choices for which you have to pay just $1950. There are many more colors available for $5k. Porsche use this same model.

When is your US delivery? I want to see an M4 in Tanzanite and SO to be able to make the final color decision. Hope you get yours stateside soon.

What is your estimated production week and going with TB has that altered it?

I'm scheduled for week 36 right now (was 40 last week )

This won't help but I"m trying to burn 5 minutes ...

I have Jerez Black and Black / Fox Red on a convertible and I think it looks great and ALWAYS get compliments on it. The combo really pops and given the paint changes colors it's always a slightly different look.

Jerez isn't near as blue as TB - in the Sun it lights up as a subtle dark blue but otherwise it looks black.

I love the color and I'd probably get TB if I didn't already have Jerez.

The only thing that would have made me switch is Santorini.

Mines a week 36 and it hasn't been "approved" yet. My buddy, the GM at the dealership can't find anywhere in their system that the Individual colors have been released.

OK - just inquired with my dealership and they are asking for an additional deposit to cover the individual color / special order. they are working on getting the forms from BMW NA and should have everything for me by tomorrow to execute.

Was Black Sapphire Metallic on Full Black with Carbon Tirm / Light Silver 19s. My current car is a BSM 335is with Oyster and Silver wheels - so being able to change the color and still have it look mean is a good option.

My wife got a Carbon Black X5 last year - loves the color. I think they will be different enough in color to not look the same.
