On another forum, this color's manuf. ingredient can no longer be sourced (speculation is due to Japan earthquake), but there will be another similar to the original granite color due out for MY2012.

Stopped by the dealership and that is exactly what they told me. Said they had received a bulletin from BMW Canada and that the new replacement colour would be close to the original.

Mike, it does not affect your order, right ? Better stock up some touch up paint as Graphite 1 may no longer be available down the road. Last edited by bobblehead; 05-04-2011 at 03:21 PM.. |

just confirmed with my dealer as well... he said that the new paint will be under the code B90 while the original was A90.
was told that this only affects cars produced in may onwards and that there would be practically no way to tell the difference in color |
