apparently BMW built 150 (now scattered across dealer network) of various Individual colours.

spotted 2 today:
lamborghini grigio telesto





ferrari red




same spec, both with black interior and just over £70k. apparently paint costs £4000


other colours from another forum:

There was a chap with an M4 in one of the other threads I believe who wasn't having a very good time with the car. Long story short, he expected a car from the factory to be of a decent standard. It wasn't up to his standard (ie. full of swirl marks from incompetent cleaning)

Saw the orange M3 just south of Dundee yesterday, looked good!

Sytner in Canary Wharf have a lovely bright green M3 in the show room. I thought it was a wrap but wasn't aware of the individual colours.

I love orange on a car, but it doesn't suit the M3 shape.

Picking up my Atlantis Blue one next week.

Atlantis blue is a beautiful colour.

I'm not sure if it's the same colour but TVR used Atlantis "Halcyon" Blue for a few of their cars. Very nice, changes colour although it's not a reflex colour

The light effects it so much, when I first saw it, it looked green, then terquiose, then a very rich blue, all depends on the light.

I'd want the Rossi red one its CF bits - looks great.

really nice to see some different colours. biggest problem I have is the lack of decent colour combos from the usually boring stuff when buying used/slightly used.

Especially for an M car it should be a little different if not bloody stand out!

Cooper Norwich also had an Avus Blue one about a month ago, it looked fantastic.

Dick Lovett in Hungerford had a M3 in that orange colour; as well as there being one in that colour at the most recent SS at BMW's Farnborough base.

Love the orange, and looks great on the M3 and GTS.

Sytner offered me a Java Green M4 about a year ago....

Do people actually spend £77k on an M3? I wonder the actual deal price available?

I would imagine they would do a deal somewhere around £62-64k on that car.
