That would only apply to LSB.Don’t see many people wanting to do an individual color in PY except that guy that ordered it for the original M2.A total waste for what turned out to be the only original M2 painted in an individual color.

Are they being reproduced and if so do you mind sharing where you sourced them? Feel free to PM if needed.

Marketing wise, upsell to a G8X with a vastly better color palette as well as the availability of individual paint. Which by the way is very popular.

LSB and PY were offered on the S54 M Roadster and M Coupe at the same time. Either color will bring good money today.

I would be delighted to have an individual color and it be the only one produced in the world. One would have to pick something rather disgusting for that to happen.

I love the Thunder Night Metallic on my M240i. I would have the M2 on order in this color as well. Sadly we are denied such joy and suffer ZB lol. The TR will be ok. At least we have that. My second choice was black.

Came here for the pics of new cars in transit, stayed for the tire fight.

.

I would argue there still is not much love for either color in a truly wide dispersion. Maybe for a handful of collectors.

Agree completely and over time there are fewer of any models available due to accidents etc. So a clean, documented ugly metallic yellow suddenly is 'collectible' or worthy. 30 years after a model is available tastes and perception change.

As a collector I watch the BMW Classic market rather closely. Neither color pop up that often, but when they do, well-kept examples bring exceptional money.

The other one is a Toronto Red

That's pretty sharp. Really like it with the bicolor wheels and blue calipers. I'd spec mine with Vernasca for a little contrast, but don't mind the black leather, either.

Aren't these made in Mexico?

Nah, they are being made in the non-Mexican Potosi Factory

Pair it with Silverstone interior like I did to complete the package

I can’t stand cars in white anymore. They look like appliances to generic looking for me.

Probably blame covid...material unavailability, employee shortage, etc.

The car looks outstanding in Black…

Finally received confirmation my unit is at the VPC in Brunswick GA, one week after boat actually anchored. My CA contacted me they're awaiting shipping details but at least it is officially updated to that location in the system.

I'll share timeline here if given.

Edit: and yeah that black car looks great - just no way I'm going to be polishing that every three days.

Fingers crossed that no transit damage occurred during the boat ride to Brunswick that would require repair. FYI, your CA has the means to check for this.

These cars are probably shipping to China. The dealerships there told the buyers they are expecting delivery in late Feb / early March.
