Is there any precedence to BMW adding new colors on the last year or two or is what we have for colors all that there will be through EOP?

Here's hoping that they have a really good blue or red. My wife loves her Le Mans Blue E92 and would love a better blue than Yaz Marina for her F80.

Tanzanite/Long Beach/San Marino all top notch blues.

I would love any of them as long as they are standard and not individual.

Agree, hence the reason I went MW, although.....4 about $500 more I could have had Tanzanite, regrets?? Maybe.

One of the M3s that was part of our #CentennialMTour group Euro Delivery was Tanzanite Blue. A nice blue, but a little too dark for us. I have a friend with a Long Beach Blue M4 CP and it's stunning!

Of course the big difference is that the Tanzanite Blue was an "option" Individual color for around $1,400 over a standard metallic and the Long Beach Blue is a full Individual color for around $5,000.

Just like FC, my wife would like a nice standard blue. She's a CPA and pretty conservative financially, so it is highly unlikely she would pay $5,000 for an Individual color.

I like the "pretty conservative financially" Guessing yas marina is out of the equation! One more blue and one I spotted live @ BMW of Greenwich..I believe it's called Macao Blue & is exclusive on the Jahre anniversary edition, really sweet yet mild.

This thread got resurrected and it was fun to read my responses from early last year.

We ordered her an Individual M3 Comp Pack in San Marino Blue including Individual Polar Blue Stitching! Euro Delivery is July 18! One requirement was that it had to be an "M Blue" referencing a race track or race track location, so that ruled out a lot of blues. When it came to her car, I guess that my wife's wasn't as "financially conservative" as I thought!
