Individual Colours

F1M3 · 03-17-2008, 02:35 AM

Does anyone know if individual colours are/will be available on M3? Particularly moonstone...

Big Windy · 03-17-2008, 04:16 AM

not in the US. pretty sure that Individual isn't open for Australia either...but i could be wrong. Moonstone is available in the Individual program though.

GeriFix · 03-17-2008, 05:32 PM

There is no mention on the BMW website that the Individual program is available on the M3 at this stage, in Australia.

I think individual colours are available – saw a manual M3 at Motorline in Brisbane yesterday in the previous models mustard yellow colour (not sure of the official colour name). I have some pics emailed to me and will post them when I can locate them.

aussiem3 · 03-19-2008, 08:19 AM

A week after I picked up my car in November I enquired about the individual program and was told only the colour selection was available and was either $4000 or $6000 just for the paint. Nothing else was available. I think that's too much for just the paint job.

bdh2009 · 03-19-2008, 08:23 AM

$6K was the price quoted to me yesterday as well

Any luck finding those photos mate?

Hopefully tomorrow Oz

Here they are – color is Dakar Yellow Indivudual.

FifthStreetz · 03-21-2008, 10:15 PM

Im sorry to say but that color just doesnt look right to me on a E92

bdh2009 · 03-21-2008, 10:28 PM

I gues opinions will vary however it looks a lot better in the flesh and may appeal to previous owners who had this color ?

GewoW · 03-21-2008, 11:25 PM

What other colors can you order? The BMW individual only shows other colors...anyone know about LSG or that green that was available with the E46?

M3aHOLIC84 · 03-22-2008, 01:49 AM

wow to me that color is totally flowing with that car...i love it...cant wiat to see other colors on them

mkoesel · 03-22-2008, 08:50 AM

Oh man, that yellow is just on fire with the CF roof! Damn what a car! Man if you want attention, there's your car.

OzStriker · 03-22-2008, 06:28 PM

Thanks for the photos bdh2009.

Hmmm it is a nice contrast with the CF roof. Nice to see, this must be the first E9x M-car Individual scheme on here.

aussiem3 · 03-22-2008, 06:54 PM

This is the M colour that was offered with the E36's and the Z roadster. How can BMW call this Individual and charge you $6000. It's a rip off. I can understand if the colour was from the true individual range.
IMO the colour ruins the E92 body shape. period.

bdh2009 · 03-22-2008, 06:57 PM

It’s the first one I can find and I have to say it looks sensational in the flesh– according to the very helpful salesman at Motorline Springwood (Tim) he has seen a range of other colors in other BM vehicles ordered and the you can in fact order any color that BMW uses (for a price). (This vehicle has apparently not been sold for those interested.)

F1M3 · 03-23-2008, 07:53 PM

Thanks for the responses guys. I'm considering a possible upgrade sometime down the track...moonstone with merino grey leather and dct? What do you think. Auto Classic (in Perth) have a 540 sport on the floor at the moment in moonstone. The colour is sensational, I was told about $4500 for the colour. It does sound steep just for a colour but you may as well be happy right?

That yellow isn't a colour I would order but none the less does look great.

I've been having all sorts of dramas uploading pics of my car, still working on it.....

BMW //MPOWER · 03-27-2008, 05:10 AM

Individual colour M3's are well and truly here in Australia, there is a Ruby Black E92 M3 at one of the local Sydney dealers, or should i say there was a few weeks back.

DonM3 · 03-27-2008, 06:20 AM

Pics of the ruby black M3 would be awesome...

aussiem3 · 03-27-2008, 06:20 PM

I am not a great fan of grey ... because the interior looks like one of the local cabs ... very ordinary ... that's my opinion. If you're buying a sports car especially a BMW black inetrior is the timeless colour.

Sedan_Clan · 05-16-2008, 04:52 PM

That car looks great in Dakar yellow. Much better than the E46 ///M3 looked with the same color scheme.
