They would indeed! For what it's worth I think you're wrong though; no issue with Tanzanite Blue and Cerium Grey on the outside, the problem is with the red leather on the inside - the interior needs to be Ivory White Merino with Piano Black trim (all IMHO of course!).

The colour choice on the M340 is poor... I like the blue that Terry has but it’s not really me, tanzanite is too dull on a dull day, I won’t have black or white, my Mini is primer grey so I wouldn’t have Dravit...
Black inside would be fine. Fineline trim. A dark metallic red like berry red (?) would be perfect. Anything but black or cerium for the wheels and grill... |

I have MPPSK on my 2018 440i and wouldn't miss it 90% of the time, either... but that remaining ten percent is absolutely glorious. The seal bark when it shifts under hard throttle and the rat-a-tat when you let off... they just make my day when heading home after a hard day at work. The drone would be really annoying if there was no way to shut it off, but the hooligan exhaust sounds only come into play in sport modes, so the car is pretty quiet in comfort and eco modes. During long trips on California freeways, cruising at 75+ in eco mode, it's as quiet as my wife's luxury spec 300D (unless you stomp on the gas and the car becomes a beast again). |

https://youtu.be/Cy5qI1GBE9A I'm coming out of a red car so want a nice blue, maybe the Individual blue on teaston old F31? (I think it was his) Another point likely to divide opinion: debadged. I really dislike the M font. Give me the regular model numbering any day! Edit: It was Daftasabrush F31 340 in San Marino Blue. G21 M340i would look stunning in this colour!

You can have the car in any colour you want they offer over 100 of them but you have to pay, people seem to be willing to spend £1000's on options yet complain about the colour choice yet there are loads to choose from.
Dip your bread in Just select your model and it brings up all the options in terms of paint there are two tabs standard and special https://visualizer.bmw-individual.co...02-BE&lang=EN#

Policy is fine I think. Same with LR, there was the free white, 6 or so standard metallics for £800, another 4 or 5 special (mica) metallics at £1700 or so and then the inividual type line at £3.5 k or more. Aren't they just!

I think it's fantastic that you can have over 100 paint finishes even on a 320d, yet people complain about the choice, although perhaps they aren't aware.
Porsche/lambo/Ferrari colours on there as well, historical BMW colours, M colours etc.... They will even paint it a colour other than the 120 shown so long as it's practical.

The trouble with individual paint is just that - its individual, and whilst you might think it is the dogs bollox, to others its just blue (or whatever colour...) |

Enter, stage left, a LR assist loan car in the reverse scheme. Light grey (a colour that was launched when we were ordering and couldn't be seen in the metal) with black wheels. And clean. Really like the look of the loaner, as does my wife. Thankfully it's coal mine black inside, so ours (glacier inside) will still feel good when it returns.

Silver does suit the GC as well, though, a good choice - even if controversial at the time

Having said that BMW are probably no different from the likes of Audi or Mercedes in this respect (infact arguably better as those two tend to offer only solid white as a free colour). However, just because their rivals are even worse doesn't make BMW's choice of standard colours an especially good or appealing one (all IMO of course!). |
