Disliking the color is fine but equating this color to what comes on a Mary Kay car is like saying Java Green and Forest Green look the same on a car (or anything, for that matter).
But I knew someone would say this because they couldn’t get over “it’s pink!” so thanks for being that guy! |

Cool to have a unique car…although pink wouldn’t be my choice.

OP - Individual colors are for individual tastes. And it looks like you NAILED your taste - way to go!
Many posts of asked, and I will do so again, what was the process? How do you create a color? And what is the price estimate? Not that I would ever do this, but I’m just curious. are we talking about $10,000 or $50,000? Congrats on loving your car. May you have it as long as you want it. |

Porsche put this color into the mainstream similar to Audi with Nardo. I wasn’t man enought to go with it for my 911 build though. Shark was more my cup of tea.

There are no strings to be pulled, the request is put in a Bmwna individual specialist, which is then put through a whole approval process and r&d. It can take up to 16 weeks I believe to decide if the color can be properly reproduced and if they will approve it. There’s no additional deposit or money required. It costs what any individual paint costs. You must have a current allocation (which obviously requires a deposit).

Otherwise we only seem to know the names of about 10 colors and everything in the world can be bucketed into one of those 10.

Interesting thanks
This whole individual colour thing, I wonder what stops a particular colour from being rejected? Find this whole topic quite interesting as to what goes on behind the scenes in the approval process Congrats on what is a truely unique car. |

GOLFFRR was the first to do Grigio Telesto during the F8x gen, IIRC, and paid more due to the R&D.

Aside from it being an original Porsche color, BMW has made individual colors in the past from other manufacturers; not unheard of and you’ll pay a premium.
That being said, I cannot for the life of me understand why some people who order a new M3/4/5 don’t go the individual option. It’s an extra $5-10K and wildly worth it in my option. The old days of the 2000-2013 ‘Individual’ program are sorta not around anymore, but the paint program still is and should be utilized. Only reason I’ll ever buy a new M car ever again; paint code 399. -Duke |

“I can open a formal special request with the Development Team for the Porsche paint, but I would need a valid production number and the manufacturer’s paint code. Research will take approximately 4 months, and if feasible, lead time would be 16 weeks. Pricing would be $4,500”.
