Individual color cost?
It looks like there are different classes of colors: There are some that show up in the thing caller BMW INDIVIDUAL MANUFAKTUR VISUALIZER and have a paint code. There some that show up in the thing called BMW INDIVIDUAL MANUFAKTUR PAINTWORK COLLECTION GUIDE (a pdf). Those also have a paint code. I understand that they will match a picture or some other color. I would guess that the ones that have no paint code would be the most costly, but are the first 2 types the same price as each other?

2000 euro extra if color exist in current production cycle as standard in any other bmw model or 5000 for frozen pus non existing standard color that were produced before. 10k for color of your dreams but they have to approve upfront.

$4,500 is the standard charge on the M3/M4 (excluding anything super special)

I'm beginning to think that individual color is the way to go. Yeah $4,500 is a lot up front, but you can likely make most of that back (if not more) should you need to sell the car.
I'm a sucker for blue and I hope you post pics of your car when you get it! Have you considered any other blues like Voodoo, Mexico, Santorini, etc? |

Most colors that have been done will be roughly 5k
new color never been done before if approved 2500 R&D cost + 5k this is just general pricing.

My dealer said he thinks $5500 for my frozen gray order, hopefully not though seeing as it's a standard color choice on the Canada configurator for way cheaper - it all gets made in the same factory and put on a ship at the same port after all?!

Here's a comment I just had on FB from an Enzian owner... "[Enzian is] like a darker LSB, almost a Santorini Blue. I love both LSB and Enzian."

My wife's top blue is Enzian/Gentian, where I am leaning towards VooDoo, and that is mostly because that M5 posted on the front page from a month ago looked so hot, but I don't know. Agonizing over what color to pick for your new M3 is a nice problem to have for sure though! |

FWIW, $5k was what I was quoted in 2011 when I asked about getting my E90M3 in Imola. So the price hasn't really moved in 10 years! I didn't get it because Melbourne was good enough but man, I wish I'd have gotten Imola.
