BMWAG already announced that they are improving their paint shop process to accelerate the Individual color offers across all models, even in SC with the X models, so this will reduce the lead times considerably sooner rather than later.

Curious to know where you got the numbers. I have a Java Green X5 45e in production right now, and would like to know how many X5 in general and 45e are in this color.
