Yea it's silly. It's not like the paint cost any more. Yea the supply chain costs are higher but some BMW come standard with most individual colors

IMO, it is better than the "old" Extended Leather (bottom dash and two patches in the center console) but not the real Full Leather as in the M5 (all the interior is covered with leather). |

Do dig the Azurite black. Also, the White interior trim is pretty cool. Not sure with what color combo it goes.....but not an everyday thing. I'd guess that red(ish) interior would go with that Azurite black just fine.

Secondly, concerning the paint facilities, each paint requires specific robots etc. Individual paints represent a small percentage of the overall production and all in all are not as profitable to produce as, say, Sapphire Black or Glacier Silver. And finally, you actually CAN create your own Individual paint that does not exist in the catalog (I have known a few examples), but at a price that is probably very high. There is no doubt to me that BMW does make more cash out of an Individual paint than out of a stock paint, but not all of this premium is purely due to exclusivity, as these paints actually are deeper, better quality and cost more to produce Last edited by advantage20; 12-18-2013 at 06:53 PM.. |

Amaro brown is looking
Currently thinking about an Interlagos blue over Amaro brown with white stitch interior at the moment. I do find it curious that a once standard color, cinnamon from the e46 M3's, can now only being selected through the individual program, in this case Amaro brown looks closest. Cinnamon was always my favorite interior color as it wasn't beige, grey, or black and went with more exterior colors. Unlike a red interior, which clashes with the blue exteriors imo. |

These are very PRE-lightweight and/or competition M3/M4 versions likely meant for the luxury and ///M combo. I'll wait until 2016 thank you...

However, the m3/4 gets sahkir orange as a base color, while the rest of the line-up only gets it as an individual color. If you're right, the formula and painting process of these colors must be different on the m3/4 in comparison to all other BMW cars! |

$5,000 gets you any Individual color you want, if you pay that much you can get an F80 in Imola, Dakar, Laguna Seca, etc., but for each model BMW has a few Individual colors that show up on their website that are cheaper, around $2,000.
