Special Silver Color Available?
Glacial Silver look like grey to me. I know BMW has the "individual" program where custom colors can be approved for order, but is there some intermediate level where other "silvers" can be ordered?

I suppose it MIGHT be possible to order a custom colour but it will be at a high price.
only way to find out is to ask but I wouldnt get your hopes up. so just the normal colours plus nee new ones coming in july onwards. |

In saloon they told me that individual colors would be up for order soon. They offered me Almandine brown individual that I may order now but when I ordered it they said its not possible, it will be in Oct. And some of the colors like Azurite black should be up in Nov

Searching other posts and found one describing "cheap" individual color choices (ie from a limited list). Individual color "Pure Metal Silver" looks like it might be a good one. Anyone have an idea of the USA price for this option--can't find it on the web and I don't want to pulse a dealer until I'm ready to buy--waiting for Dec for a 6-mos Lease Pull-Forward.
Also, I have a vague memory of new colors being added in July. Anyone know of this? |

Yes, I've found info that says "BMW's most expensive color" and a cost a couple of years ago of $10K. If I were doing one of the $80K plus cars, I could see it; but not a bread and butter $60K. I ordered "Super Silver" on my 09 Nissan GTR for $3K, but didn't get a nickel of that back when I sold it.

I should also mention that there's a new Individual color on the palette for the G30 called Rhodonite Silver. I have never seen one in person but it should be for the standard $1,800 or so premium. You could also look at Moonstone...but I may be biased....

Worth a trip from Houston. San Antonio is always a pleasure to visit, anyway. What's the name of the new dealership and what's the expected opening date, please?

The current dealer BMW of San Antonio will be moving out there. From what I've heard it will be the 3rd largest dealer in the world... They were saying that it would be open before the end of 2017 but it seems a lot ways off that. I do know a guy there that does a lot with Individual orders and paint-to-sample stuff. I'll ask to see how he usually handles those requests for samples etc.

My local dealer, Advantage BMW has agreed to order paint samples for the ones most interesting to me. My sales advisor is the one who orders the stock autos and I suggested he order an M550i with Pure Metal Silver. He has two other " $5K individual" color cars on the floor: fashion grey, which looks like a classic Porsche 356 color and metropolitan grey, which is more grey than brown.
