Another thing to consider with individual, if they don't offer it before March we miss out on the $750 savings.

What’s the $750 savings you’re referring to?

M 50th year anniversary. All individual paint is $750 off. G8x at $3750 is a solid deal.

Ha...wife just said I should go for fire orange (I showed it to her on the visualizer). I don't know if she is serious or if she is messing with me. Now I am confused.

Found this thread over in the G80 forum. It is a good way to see what the colors look like...

A new video of a Individual Santorini Blue G80.

LimeRock · 09-06-2022, 10:22 PM

I would absolutely spec individual. Likely Maritime Blue or Oxford Green…

P28 Twilight Purple, all day every day
P7K Rosso Corsa

The G87, I hope will be the first car I will have actually ordered! I have lost count how many I have owned, and only bought one NEW straight off the lot ever.

Really really REALLY hope to get twilight purple.. I have fallen in love with that color on a friends G80.

BMW told me there are no short term plans for individual in Mexico right now.

Very disappointing.

Had a feeling that was the case. That really sucks.

They could always be keeping it close to the chest or be available early next year. Guess we'll know in a month.

Yeah, I have that site bookmarked on my pc. I like it but it was nice to see that thread with real cars in the colors I was interested in. It still made it tough because there are some blues that have different names but look really similar. Right now…Daytona Beach Blue is in the lead. I'm still considering Fire Orange!!

Yes they added dravit grey,tanzanite blue and aventurin red for the MY23 builds in Mexico.They are semi individual colors.All the other individual colors are still done at the Munich plant.No one has been able to confirm when the full individual program will be available in Mexico.

It would be nice if we have at least those three semi-individual colors on the G87. Tanzanite blue is a great color in person and combines well with the cognac interior...

Agreed. All three are beautiful.

Would be absurd for a 330 to get more options than an M car.

Aventurin red reminds me of this car…works nicely with the gold wheels

Cannot say that I am surprised.

Very disappointed as well.

It will eventually come. It is anyone’s guess as to when though.

Hopefully they give us an estimate as to when. If not I'm gonna annoy the hell out of them.

LimeRock · 09-08-2022, 01:56 AM

Not to be dramatic, but I think it's total BS that we can't spec individual because they decided to build this car in Mexico. By many measures the M2 is more of an enthusiast car than the M3, given how large it has become. I can almost guarantee this will be a future classic, and to be deprived of individual colors is a travesty

We think it'll get individual eventually. Problem is most of us have early slots.

Exactly!

I might buy mine right away and Autoflex it, like I did with my F87.

Turned my Saphire Black Metallic into San Marino Blue!

Sprayed on, more protective than PPF, about 1/2 the cost of a good wrap, and looks just like paint. It even fools the dealership folks, who thought I somehow got individual paint. I wash it, wax it, even ceramic coated it. And if I don't like it down the road, I can just peel it off.

Might do Aventurine Red or Fern Green.
