Chaps, I'm trying to find a website with the exclusive paint colours.
Trying to spec a D3 coupe a little differently (like the look of Santorini blue) but can't seem to find any links to the non-standard colours.

Can't get to my local dealer either as I have a broken foot.

Cheers.

Hi there,

Give Alpina UK dealers a call to see if Santorini Blue can be specified

http://www.bmwalpina.co.uk/ww/findadealer.html

I 'think' that Alpina do indeed have their own special colours, but I don't think Santorini Blue is one of them, I'm pretty sure that was a BMW 'Individual' colour.

Cheers, Dennis!

You can also check http://www.alpina-configurator.de/ and if people in Sytner can't help, drop a note directly to Alpina, link is here http://www.alpina-automobiles.com/en/alpina-contac...

Thanks chaps.

I can't get the configurator to work in English and my German doesn't go any further than 'achtung'! teacher

Re the colour - I think you're correct. Santorini is a BMW Individual colour.
I saw a D3 saloon at Nottm Sytner in it a few months back and it look fantastic (and different).

I thought the only exclusive Alpina colours were Alpina Blau Metallic or Alpina Grün II Metallic. The others are just standard 3-series colours or BMW Individual.

Ok, are there any links to a website with the BMW individual colours?

This is for the 3-series, although I'm sure there are more colours.

Thanks Luca, I'll have a look through that (US site though, so maybe different colours?)

I've found this in Santorin blue - looks better in the metal I think.
