Carmelle Pretty sure you got answers to this yesterday. I'll post this incase any.. confusion.
BMW SPECIAL ORDER PROCEDURES
BMW of North America offers special order paints, upholsteries and trims for several models at an
additional price. All requests must be sent directly to your respective Regional Distribution Manager via
e-mail. Your Regional Distribution Manager then sends the request to the VIP Ordering Specialist to
research feasibility and pricing with the Factory. Once the feasibility and pricing is confirmed, a
response will be sent back to the Regional Distribution Office with the price and required lead time for
the request.
PAINT
Because the availability and feasibility of paint colors change frequently, the factory
does not have a set “list” of paint colors to choose from. A customer can make a
request to his/her BMW Client Advisor for a specific paint color or color tone (i.e.
“Laguna Seca Blue” or “a blue toned paint”) and we can inquire if that particular color is
available or what colors the factory can recommend as an alternative. Some paints
require additional lead time added to production of the vehicle; this will be
communicated to the Regional Distribution Manager when responding with the
feasibility. Standard pricing for special order paint is $4735 whsl / $5200 retail,
however, some paints are more complex and require additional costs which will also be
communicated to the dealer.
UPHOLSTERY
When requesting special upholstery, you must include the specifications of the order
(options & packages). This will allow the Factory to know which seats and content will
be on the vehicle; this will help determine feasibility. Special upholsteries will add
additional lead time to an order, but that will be determined upon the extent of the
request.
TRIM (Interior)
Please include what options and packages will be on the specific vehicle.
Once a customer decides that they want to proceed with the special order, you must fill out the
“Special Order Confirmation Form” below and send it to your Regional Distribution Office. The
Regional Distribution Office will then send the request to the VIP Ordering Specialist who will add the
special order option codes to the order. Once these special codes are added to the order, the vehicle
will be locked in 102 Status and no further modifications can be made.
