Individual colors?

Does anyone know the typical cost and process of obtaining a BMW individual color? Are there only certain individual colors available for certain models?

Which blue do you like best? Laguna Seca or EBII? Just curious.

Wrap. Cheaper, less impact to resale (buy the car in white, silver or black) and if you get bored with it, you can always remove it.

I was only curious. Probably would cost more than I would want to spend.

While we are on the topic, would going for EBII on the M235i reduce my resale value compared to black or red? I can't imagine it matters that much on a car like this, but the GF is giving me a hard time about wanting EBII.

Get the car you want, not the car the next owner wants.

You will probably have your car longer than your girlfriend so don't listen to her. Go with the EBII.

I just read that BMW offers selected individual colors that cost no more than the regular metallic colors. However, if you go with an individual color that is not offered at all as an individual option, then it is in the $5000 + range. Any truth to this?

Please don't let your gf or anyone for that matter choose the options for YOUR car

The 1er and 2er are exempt from BMW Individual.
Go back to the specially painted 1Ms not the final ones , to understand the cost.
