Love the color.

I wonder if you can order the gloss black side markers. Those look real nice!

Yes, they will be very soon. (for an obscene price over 4k per set)

Proper owner documentation will likely be required, as these black 220 M wheels will be a limited-edition production OE part.

They should at least put an exhaust or some sort of performance mod on it. It doesn't really matter since it is not available in the US.

Correct, no U.S.-spec version will be sold.

Wouldn't make any difference. Monte Carlo Blue is 'off limits' per BMW's cheif product distribution manager.

If you live in the USA, this color will be available on the X5M & X6M only for the foreseeable future.

Not unless you are moving to another country to buy a Euro-spec 'M3 Edition' car.

Yes, and it will remain that way for at least another 12 months. (or more)

Yep. You are located in Scotland, so all you have to do...is walk into the dealership and order one. (lucky bastard)

bavarian19 · 09-19-2009, 07:43 AM

Is it possible to custom order that color?

Unfortunately, BMW has decided to restrict access to this color to the M3 Edition cars, and the X5 M and X6 M SUV's for now.

It's possible they may allow this color to be special ordered at some point after the 2010 model year, based on conversations I've had with the principle decision makers. There are no plans to incorporate this new color into the E92 LCI (life cycle improvement) mid-year update either.

I wouldn't hold my breath, that this color will be allowed as a BMW Individual color option before 2011. (even if you paid the 5k paint surcharge)
