Well...if there's enough passionate requests on the forums, maybe they'd consider limited runs of bespoke colours. I recall a 1m being factory painted in a special colour, last one off the line I think, in something resembling Java Green??
Anyways, another idea might be to offer the group ED participants (Canada and U.S. have them, don't know about the ROW) a couple or so "limited" colours to choose from in order to celebrate the event.
Another generic idea open to all first takers might be a limited run of 1st Edition cars that are offered with a couple or so of one time, one production run colours that also represent the celebration of BMW's 100th anniversary. A choice of Frozen Brilliant White or a Frozen Blue (Estoril, Monte Carlo...whatever matches the brand blue) would be.....orgasmic!! Maybe offer regular gloss coat versions for those intimidated by the Frozen paint?
Oh man, I would kill for "Frozen" options if any of my fantasies above come true. I'm wondering how they'll produce the M2's at Leipzig, ie will they be built in blocks where all of the cars on the line on designated dates are M2's or will they be mainstream and fit in anywhere on the line with the RP 2ers? Reason I ask has to do with paint capabilities. Can special runs be given special colours? Hopefully someone can answer this, I've not been to Regensburg where M3's are made and Munich wasn't making the M4 when I was there so I have no clue lol.
Otherwise you've all got Donington and some vibrant red & blue options covered so I'll move on to the interior where I pray they offer a Merino leather option and/or add a rust-coloured leather to the palette. My worst fear is that they cheap out on interior trim options ala the 1M which looked no different really than an ordinary 135 back then - exception being the deviated stitching (love this) and the Alcantera which IMHO is a horrid idea for dash trim.
And there's lots more to wish for but I'll take a breather for now.
