The Individual program for the FXX 3/4 EASILY beats what was offered with the E9X, where none of the options made it look more expensive or more premium than a standard spec'd model.

if not, we'd all buy A->B transportation or take public transit as a cost savings.

modifying a car is also a waste of money, especially appearance mods. We do it because it individualizes your car and makes it unique/special.

Agree. I love my car to be different and to enjoy every minute I spend in it. Individual program is a very nice way to express your style and build something that will give you pleasure all the time. It is expensive ... But is nice...

All those options are just spot on.....for China and the Middle East

I think I'll take an embroidered dragon in the headrest with mine

Individual paint: $5,500

Individual trim: ?
Individual steering wheel: ?
Individual wheels: ?

Doesn't make much sense on a $45,000 car.

In Europe a well equipoed 435i is more like $90'000...

If you think individual options are an investment or are meant to increase the residual value of your car, then you are missing the point entirely. If anything, an individual option has the potential to turn more people away from buying your car if you go with very unique options and colors.

Individual or modding is for you the owner and not for gtg/forum props. You drive the car, you live with the car and it is yours for 4-10 years. Personally, I don't care about resale. Own a car so long it isn't worth anything at the end. If looking for a used car, As a car guy I would look for a mod free but Individual model.

I expected more options.
And where are the frozen colors?.
Where is the option to Azurite Black or Tanzanite Blue?

What Jason posted here are only some teasers. The full program has not been revealed yet.

[Blown850]

This still doesn't say it's offered in the US, wishful thinking. Anyone else?

I see a "BMW Individual" 'tag' on both the steering wheel and the seats. Is there some sort of emblem somewhere on the outside of the car if one selects a unique paint color?

Are these "tags" cool or tacky?

[fecurtis]

I personally find the tags tacky.

Your comment made me think of my cheap a$$ ex-father-in-law who bought a very low mileage red Cadillac with white vinyl roof and white interior at a big discount in Phoenix.

The previous owner had his/her three initials embroidered, in a relatively large, contrasting front size, high up on the seat backs.

The initials did not match those my ex-father-in-law and he just left it that way.

Blame your VAT

I was actually thinking about this yesterday as I washed my new Sapphire Black Metallic 435i and started remembering how IMPOSSIBLE it is to get a black car perfectly clean.

I would have strongly considered paying more $$ to special order the Dark Graphite Metallic or Singapore Grey that some of the higher-end cars came in. The MG they offered didn't quite do it for me.

Oh well….

[monkawekrue]

My folks have a f10 with a white interior and my 5 year has to take her shoes off when she gets in.

In my car (coral red) she tried but it is impossible to avoid the foot marks on the back of the front seats nor shoe prints in the seats.

Don't want to live in fear of your own interior nor would I want my kid.

Individual interiors are best for climates that don't have snow, salt and slush.
