I stumbled upon this 2020 4 series on the Internet. At first I thought it must be the new option Aventurine Red II metallic, but it looks too purple. The dealer didn't mention the exterior color in the description at all. What color is this? And how does a dealer order a car with a color that's not available on the official website?

thank you!

It's the new Grimace purple or for the much younger crowd, the Barney purple.

I love it, it loves me....

It's an individual color, someone ordered custom.

Looks like it might be purple silk metallic. It's an M color.

Ask a woman. She'll give you the precise name with reference to relevant vegetation.
I'd just call it a silly one.

does the ad have a VIN? stick it in a VIN decoder.

I'd love to know the name of this color.

In the 1996 or 1997 model year, one of the colors for the 5 series was called Aubergine, a British noun meaning an eggplant. I think it was not as vibrant as the purple car in the picture. It was not a popular color.

You can actually order a car painted almost any color BMW has used in the past.

[Chihuahua]

Purple.

[jbb2388]

That is hideous

[JimmyDee]

Is that at the dealership in Calgary?

[Chaos236]

Grape Ape
Love it

[Daftasabrush]

That's Purple Silk, a Rolls Royce colour.

Velvet Blue is better

[ouengineer]

No idea, but I love it!

I know at Porsche website you can choose "paint to sample". But don't see same option on BMW
