Just ordering a new company car, I don't know how I haven't seen it before but I've found the site that allows you to 'visualise' all the custom/individual paint jobs...

https://discover.bmw.co.uk/iframes/indi ... visualiser

There are so many colours from older BMW's that I've owned:

Imola Red (beautiful on E46's IMO)
My E30 touring is Malachite- kind of suits the new touring I reckon...
Daytona Violet- again a classic if not v rare E30 touring colour
Avus blue

Couldn't find Henna Red, Dolphin Grey or Bronzit Beige though.

Its great fun; however as the price tag is £4300 BMW can ram it!

Thought it may be of interest to other BMW geeks like me!
If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

    G29 M40i Misano Blue all option packs (Gone 26k of fun)

    Absolutely, but it was still p!ss off :rofl:

    I think the official reply was along the lines of “thank you for your enquiry, but unfortunately the G29 is only available in one individual paint colour and that is frozen grey”

    I thought at almost £5k they might’ve considered it.

      Thank you, really looking forward to picking it up and getting out and about in it. Very exciting, my first new car :thumbsup:

        Yes, they used to do some great colours.

        I had an Imola Red E46 325ti Sport Compact a few years ago and loved it!

        It'd be rude not to add a photo really! Here it is next to my nephew's Imola 325i Sport Touring (that he will be selling soon).

        My first E86 was Ruby Black, which looked fantastic 3 or 4 days a year when it was clean and the sun was shining - otherwise it just looked black. :lol:

        I saw a lovely E39 M5 yesterday in what I think was Techno Violet - just stunning!

        But thankfully they do seem to be getting back to colours again. At the moment I've got Silver Grey and Sparkling Graphite. :roll:
        Coupes because stunning!
        Current - Silver Grey MC, Imola Red heated Nappa & carbon trim. Aeros, H & R Coil-overs, 224s, OE Strut brace, Nav, cup-holders, DSP Hi-Fi, pdc, cruise, MFSW, no CDV! E90 330i daily
        Gone - Montego Blue
        Gone - Ruby Black

        Seriously- if that e46 goes on sale let me know

        Pretty close to a perfect car-

        E46
        Touring
        Imola
        M sport
        Late reg

        :thumbsup:

        Liking the compact too- had one of those in the past and much underrated in my humble opinion
