Thanks.
I do.

Can not post from work so will try to do from home sometime this week.

Still the only BMW in the US in this color to my knowledge. I know that it was the first.

This is awesome!

I will say this, hoping it doesn't make you not post more photos, but it's on my short list.

It may now be the only Venetian Violet sedan in the US.

Same as my car - one sedan, one coupe. Hard to sell and move on to the next one with such a rare bird.

I would love to get some photos of the two different purple colors side by side once my Daytona Purple arrives!

Trying to identify the color of a car I saw this weekend in Oakland. Do y'all think this is Venetian Violet?

P.S. nice combo here

I was both shocked and relieved when I saw the car in person. It is, in my humble and obviously unbiased opinion, the most spectacular color that I have ever seen on a BMW. It will be the first in the US for this color.

Here are some pictures to whet your appetite. I wish that I had more but the delivery stoppage put an end to that opportunity.

Gotta have more photos of this unique beast, right?

Gorgeous!

It's OK.

Fantastic color. Wish I could see the car in person. Congratulations!

Looks really good in this light. You just need to get rid of the chrome stuff.

Ismaeel97 · 12-01-2022, 02:12 PM

You have anymore pictures. The colour is absolutely stunning

YRAGAEL · 12-01-2022, 06:07 PM

I sold the car earlier this year. It lives in the Carlsbad, CA area now. I'll see if I can dig up some more pics!
