My dealer is saying that the Aventurine Red is not available. He said he spoke with their BMW rep who said they are unable to make this car in Aventurine Red and that the color will be removed from the website in a few weeks.

I find this hard to believe given that this is the color in all the press collateral.

Has any one else tried to order Aventurine Red.

I have a June build date. He is also saying that once submitted I won't be able to change the color which also seems ridiculous

based on pricing guide posted here on Wednesday this week and removed almost immediately (I assume due to some rules) Aventurin Red Metallic scheduled to start production in March 2022 as some other options.

I can't guarantee this is still 100% true today

maybe not the answer, but in Sweeden you need to add 'sport package' to be able to choose Aventurine Red

Went today to the Seattle Auto Show and there was a very beautiful Adventurine Red iX there.

I have ordered sport package so that's not the issue. See build sheet below.

I will show him the order guide.

According to the DOG, Aventurine Red is not available until March 2022. So if you are ordering now and want Aventurine Red, your build will be delayed until it's available. They may remove it from the configurator rather than having customers confused or upset by the delay.

Thanks. But what I am confused by is that they were quoting a June build so it should be available.

Issue resolved. Turns out dealer didn't know how to order a special order color! I had a feeling it was user error on his part

I looked at the USA pricing guide and it seems to say that oxide grey metallic paint starts production in March 2022, which makes sense since that color isn't listed in the build configurator right now. The aventurine red seems to be available at launch. Or am I not reading the guide correctly?
