A friend ordered his M550 with blue calipers. BMW screwed up, they came red. He didn't want to wait for another one or get them painted. When it came in he liked them. I don't disagree.

I ordered mine in Aventurine Red with red calipers as well with the 846M 20" wheels and shadowline. Don't have it yet in person, but there are plenty of pictures on this thread and it looks nasty and almost contrasting, IMO. If you go Shadow Line package I don't think the blue looks right at all. I like it because it almost makes the Aventurine look even darker as a color

My Aventurine Red 545e has been built and is awaiting shipping. Hopefully BMW have screwed up my order as well and will have given me the red calipers instead of the blue ones. 300 euro to order the red calipers on there own, but when selected BMW threw something else on the car for 3,000e extra that I didn't want at all.

I am awaiting an allocation for my buld, which will have those blue calipers on it. I'd prefer black, given the choice, but I don't recall seeing that option. If it bothers me too much, I'll have them powder coated. Or I'll just not wash them for a month and they'll turn black automatically. LOL

I'm (not very) patiently waiting for my M550i to go into production. It was delayed because of the Individual Carmel Full Merino leather, which I think will be killer with the Aventurine Red. I also picked the red calipers, so I'm relieved to see the look good in the pictures posted here. Estimated production is mid January.

These are the Individual Manufaktur visualizations. (which don't reflect the red calipers)

Now scheduled for 2022 week 3. I think that's just for regular production, but it will make a side trip to the BMW M Studio in Garching bei München for some Individual Manufaktur treatment before returning to Dingolfing to be completed.

Solid interior choice. If we had that available in the US it would have been a tough decision between that and the mocha Napa for me. Wild that you don't have production till January. I pulled the trigger in mid September and mine is on a boat already

I'm a big fan of dark brown leather, so Mocha for me

Which Individual Manufaktur treatment did you go for? And do you have any estimation of how longer the production time will be because it will go to Bmw M at Garching?

The Carmel Merino is available on the 550i in the US, but it's through the Individual Manufaktur program. Part of the reason my end of September order is not yet in production.

There are three, each with it's own delays.

1. The Aventurine Red requires orders to be batched for the color.

Quote:
BMW Individual paint requires special consideration. Vehicle production could extend build time up to 10 weeks from date dealer confirms the order. Please discuss this customized vehicle with preferred BMW dealer.
2. The Full Merino requires approval from Germany, so they can confirm availability of the leather and color. Six weeks!

3. The trip to Garching is for engraved Individual dash wood. Again, it depends on approvals, sourcing and the queue in Garching.

Bottom line is I don't know how much of the delays are due to my Individual choices and how much general COVID related. I was told initially I couldn't have my Individual choices. I don't readily take no for an answer, so I escalated my request to M-sport in Germany, which eventually resulted in an okay. But I have known from the beginning I would have to be patient. I don't do patience very well, but I want what I want so I just have to suck it up and wait. I avoid bugging my CA, since he has no actual control over this process.

Do you have any more info on these batches?
I just got my production number for my Aventurin Red M340. I wonder if our cars will be painted in the same batch.

If you just got your production number, you're probably well behind. I've had that quite a while. I got my VIN on the 10th. Do you have yours?

In any event, my car is enjoying an abnormal, and longer, build because of the Individual Manufaktur options. I really don't know when in the process it will take a field trip from Dingolfing to Garching bei München and back again.
