Why wouldn't they make all ///M colours available to all costumers(individual orders...)? Seems to me like an excellent way to get some extra cash

On topic - the extra mods on that YMB 320 looks horrible
Well, maybe it has to do with the fact that the F31 is on the market for a longer period of time. So maybe if I was patient enough and waited for a while that it was possible on the F32 as well.

Yes!! I was about to comment on that haha. Why would you keep the 320d on the back and slap on that E46 M3 vent on the fender lol!? It's not even in the fender it's ON the fender! That's kind of hilarious, actually. Maybe it was a joke?

BMW have always made it possible to buy an "M Color" on none M model. For the 1993 model year BMW made more Individual Daytonaviolett 540iA than M5 in Daytona Violett! For the 1995 model year both Avusblau and Daytonaviolett was standard colors on M-Sport Package E34 (2 of 6 colors available).

Estorilblau was an standard option on E46 Compact Young Line and E46 Coupé Club Sport. BMW in the Gulf region has an special edition 760 LI M Sport that often is painted in "M Colors" http://www.imotortimes.com/bmw-760li...-gallery-22728 and the list goes on. If you want to be unique order an older color like Macaoblau or Lagunengrün or take an none BMW color.

One things that isn't possible no more is to order your BMW in an Alpina color. It was possible in 1991 when BMW built an M5 in Alpinablau.

The extra cost for Individual paint in Europe is lower than in The US, the price for 381 Le Mans Blau is €2300 http://www.motor-talk.de/forum/koste...-t4060787.html if you want to have your M-Sport Package F30 painted Havanna (Mojave in the US) it's €1300.

It's more expensive if you want Bentley Kingfisher metallic or Silverlake metallic or BMW:s own Pure Metal Silber. http://www.sytner.co.uk/bmw/cardiff/...6#.VAT8l2NeeXQ

To have M Badges on wheels or car was a common thing 20-30 years ago. In fact BMW put the badges on cars from factory. An M badge isn't the same thing as an M3 or M5 badge. So chill!

I love to see these F30 in Yas Marina Blau and Austin Gelb, just lovely!=).

That thing looks hideous on that f30, i cant believe thats a bmw part! Is that part even made for the f30? Just wait a year and im sure the price on those suckers will plummet. That blue only looks good on the m3/4 and not on the f30, at least in my opinion.
