Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Atlantis Blue Metallic M-Performance CF front splitter M-Performance 20-inch Night Gold The owner also got the car PPF'ed and ceramic coated. Thought to share it given its uniqueness, at least up until now. Probably the first i4 in this color in the world.

Very likely true. The owner of this car mentioned the choice of this color meant he had to wait longer for the car. Worth the wait according to him.

Yup, individual Manufaktur paint and interior options will take longer to complete, depending on what the customer selects. Just an individual paint can extend the lead time by 4-6 weeks.

Paint seems like something that should not cause any delay, especially a factory BMW paint color .... it's not like you asked for and got approved for another manufacturer's color that they don't already have the formula pre-programmed into the computer! |

So while they can readily switch between what is loaded that does not mean that all 150 colors are available all the time. Also some colors have a low run rate so they batch the cars together to consum a drum or whatever they use these days.

For example, this Atlantis color in particular was applied to exactly 59 F8x M3 in 4 years of production. It is not cost effective to have the Atlantis color mix for 30000+ vehicles produced, to paint only 59. I used to have one of those 59. 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.

I wouldn't have minded waiting 4 weeks for a different color, especially after I've waited a year for the car. it was more, dropping the 5k on paint that won't affect resale at all, and who knows how long I'll actually keep the car. I originally had an M3 long beach blue on order which is very similar to atlantis. I backed out of that order and switched to the i4. I know if I got the M3 I would keep it forever, so the cost made more sense.

Did you see this on the Visualizer page for the i4 M50?
"Please note that with U490 BMW Individual paint the function “Lane change assistant”, which is a part of option 5AU “Driving assistant professional” has to be deactivated. This happens by adding option 8TR "decoding additional function". ...and my beloved Interlagos Blue is not on the visualizer. Loved that colour on my M3 Competition! P.S. Google 2022 M4 in Twilight Purple. I think I found my new FAVOURITE COLOUR. Wow! Stunning!! Last edited by deutsch100; 06-27-2022 at 10:55 AM.. |

Another color that is killer is techno violet. I had an E36 M3 that color with individual interior.
