Question Would you order a Individual color with Comp Pack?

Sorry guys for another thread.

But i am thinking about getting a different color than my last (white E92M3).

Suggestions please? (Laguna? Dakar?)

Thanks!

I'd get something other that White based on the fact that there are so many white e9x M3s out there. If I had it to do over again, I'd probably go with Monte Carlo Blue.

Does individual program support only BMW specific special colours, or can they do a colour of your choice(paint to sample?)? I'm asking because I love the Morning Frost White from Aston

I'd get a green of some sort, like Jaguar Racing Green. You won't see that anywhere else. Given the choices on this board, I'd get Atlantis Blue. That said, I would not piss that much money away for individual paint. Besides, it must be a pain in the ass if you need bodywork.

+1. Monte Carlo Blue is a beautiful color. While brilliant white is a nice color, there are just so many white E9X M3s, it won't look very distinctive.

The way I look at it, you might as well get a color that stands out a bit. I love Brilliant White but like the above poster said, I think it might just kinda blend in with all the AW M3s out there. Although if you love white and you just want to know that yours is different, then it'd be a great choice.

I love Azurite Black but I don't think it looks $5000 better than Jerez.

If it was me, I'd probably get Atlantis (Blue) Metallic or Monte Carlo Blue. Although the only way to get Monte Carlo might be the Edition model...

Good luck and let us know what you decide!

yeah frozen gray looks crazy too, I'm just scared about the finish... If it had to be repainted, could it be easily matched??? how much does a color like frozen or brilliant cost anyway, must be more than the standard ''individual'' colors.

I'd go with some type of blue if I were to do it all over again. If I had a sedan I'd probably go with Space Grey.
