But I don't think you can, you would have to respray afterwards I think.
I did and got a no from BMW within the hour of asking and told the only individual colour available on the G29 is Frozen Grey. I was prepared to pay the premium they charge for an individual paint job but they were not having it :thumbsdown:
That's what I thought too, since we spent most of the time picking the color, since the frozen orange was no longer available, and I ended up going with black so I could wrap it more easily :) I guess the salesman would have mentioned individual colors otherwise :)

If I could order a BMW back catalogue colour it would be Sepang Bronze :wub:

Talking of bronze, I’m thinking of matte bronze wheels for the winters, go lush with SF Red

I've got a Merc GLC 300d. I've had it a couple of months now, chopped in my Merc E350 for it. Its a nice motor (well I think so)...
Very nice Carol. :thumbsup:

Had mine for 4 years in august and covered over 80k miles in it. It has been a lovely car and I've been really happy with it(it is the first Merc I've had too). :)

I walk past a black Z4 M40i most days and it is such a lovely thing I reckon. They seem a pretty rare car as well and I hardly see any of them out on the road. The chap in the black one overtook me the other day roof down and it was good to see him enjoying the performance. :driving:

I'd love one myself. :wub:

I saw a SF Red one yesterday and very happy with my choice, so you don’t fancy swapping the M4 for one then :D

My Mrs is a big fan of them, and she said to me the other day how much she likes them...so it is definitely a possibility to be fair! :D :thumbsup:

That's a lovely looking Merc. I'm really happy with mine, think it will be a keeper for a good few years.

Not had a yellow one since the Boxster! They've been either black or white. Current one is white. I should get it sprayed :lol: :lol:
Suggest you get one half wrapped black and then you can choose which way to look at it depending on how you feel :rofl:
Cracking idea :rofl:
