As you said. They made an error in even having such a limited color palette in the first place , and then didn't even stick to it and opted to reverse themselves.
That's progress ! 
BMW has an Individual program that's the Crayola ultimate 152 pack  , but their standard color palette is a 16 pack with a few missing..  Perhaps in the next 3 -5 years they will up their color game like they have their seat/interior game in the last round of new models. |

You're missing my point. From a worldwide perspective, BMW made SMB a standard metallic colour on the CS only a few months before they made it a standard colour across the entire M3/4 line up. The CS really never had a "special exclusivity" on that colour, unlike LRG.
It is only in the USA that BMW NA decided to do differently. We should not confuse BMW AG with BMW NA.
