BMW Individual photos

Following up from the Cinnamon Brown thread below, here are some photos of the BMW Individual options for those interested. These are nearly impossible to replicate in photos, but I've done my best...

It's actually Brilliant White - an Individual-only (or special order) color.

I tried to get a photo of the color swatch/block, but it's *very* difficult - even under the good lighting at BMW Welt. Here are two more photos (color block and M3 - the red is darker than what you see here):

The M3 color is totally different in person. Instead of "bright" red it's actually a darker/muted red. I took 10 photos and none were able to reproduce the "dark pearl" effect with this color.

Awesome photos.

Imagine if some day you could walk into a U.S. dealership & be taken to a room like this
to choose your Individual options....

Imagine if Individual options were actually available here...

I was told "you can try but we can't guarantee any slot for Individual options, regardless of whether you're willing the spend the money."

I would have loved the Cohiba Brown leather. It definitely would silence the "Cinnamon is too orange" critics.

I hear ya on the special order no-go from the dealership here in Canada. I tried to order a Pearl White and they said no-can-do. I figured as much. Love the matte black but just not a black car guy.
