It looks like this thread may be dead, but I'm curious why Ruby Black Metallic (X03) is listed in the "total color production" list but not on the "Special Paint Color Distribution".

And does anyone know the difference between "Individual" and "Special" paint? Is it the same thing with a different name? Or?

Lastly, it looks like Diopside Black Metallic (S44) is missing from all the production stat list. There is a picture of one in the Individual Color thread.

Cheers

Individual paint includes all of the available BMW Individual palette colours.
Special Order Paint is like a "paint to sample", costs more than Indi and required approval from Regensburg.

I think that DBM E93 is an Italian car. This thread details NA stats.:thumbsup:

Are the engine and transmission numbers of the archived cars available ?

Is that correct - only 16k E92 M3s came to the US? For some reason I thought it was more than that.

A year later over here still hoping for the return since the data is pretty interesting. Doesn't look like it will happen though as SickFinga's user avatarSickFinga hasn't been online since 07/2020 and one of his posts over in the f8x pages shows he lost access to much of his information for obtaining these numbers. We need someone else with a BMW AOS account to step in over here

Anyone know how many were made in this spec?

LCI E90
6 speed
Slicktop
Single hump
Jet black
Speed cloth

Would be cool to know how many were made in a similar spec to mine, although I'm not sure if specific data like that was ever released.

Nice spec and I'll bet there were not many, spazzyfry123's user avatarspazzyfry123 May have had a similar spec but I don't recall if he had cloth seats. SickFinga's user avatarSickFinga hasn't been around in awhile, I hope he is doing well.

Mine was a 2011.75 Jet Black 6MT slicktop single hump with manual Speed Cloth. Only option on the build sheet was “Smoker’s Package” which gave an additional 12V plug.

Edit: found my conversation with SickFinga…

“ There is no car that is identical to yours. If you disregard color and interior you'll have

1 Interlagos Blue
2 Alpine White
1 Melbourne Red

Those are all 2011 and all got Speed Cloth

There is one more strippers, but since it is 2009, it has a slightly different buildsheet (M Drive wasn't standard)

1 Jerez Black (euro delivery so it has first aid and velour floor mats)
It is also got Speed Cloth”
very useful information until now

It's been a while since I visited this thread so I was surprised that my 2009 stripper was brought up here. The car just hit 67K miles and is basically stock. Strippers FTW!

Nice! Let me know if you ever decide to part with it. I'd love to get the twin to my 2011!

That would be cool! I would regret selling it unless I was persuaded by the right 997.2 GT3 coming available :D

Where can you access the data that lists the E90 M3 production colors? Mainly for the Individual cars. Is it even public data?
Also, to go along with Individual E90s in the NA market, has anyone seen/has pictures/or knows the thread of the Aventurine Silver Metallic (S58) E90, Black Blue (W32) E90, Ruby Black Metallic (X03) E90, Sepang Bronze Metallic (A32) E90, and the 2 Sparkling Graphite Metallic (A22) E90s? The only mentioning I have seen of these cars are in this aggregated numbers thread. Was hoping to actually see them.
Happy to have an E92 2013 LMB in a manual and comp package. I wonder if fox red on LMB in a manual is rare?
