Individual color impact on resale?
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I’ve never done an individual color, and am leaning towards either San Marino blue or twilight purple. I don’t mind the upfront cost…but if it also costs an extra $5k in lower trade in value (or whatever) that’s something to consider…

Curious myself. Frozen blue would fall into this category? |

Anything outside the standard colors would count for sure. Even "stock colors" have some variance. Fact is, I can't see the demand for a highlighter green m3 being the same as for a white one. That said, i have no idea what the impact on resale/trade in would be.

I ordered the hilighter green (San Paolo yellow) M4 and it's on a boat on it's way. But I saw on youtube this guy took delivery on a frozen black. Looked really cool! But when I was building the car I didn't see frozen black. Just frozen blue and white. I would have taken frozen black but now my rep is saying it wasn't offer. What say you? Is that a color to special order and how much? Considering letting the hilighter yellow car go and re-order special color.

I've wondered this as well since I have an individual color. I'm thinking that in the end it's going to be something like any other added on accessory to a degree. Yes, there aren't likely to be many Enzian blue M4's running around for people to buy and it's an amazing color, but I'm not expecting to get too much of my $4500 back as people will plug the options into autotrader or similar and see that this M4 with these options should be work $X and I'm betting that that X isn't going to include color money. Maybe I'll be surprised, but I'm not expecting much on the back end.

It is simply supply vs. demand. If you have the only hippopotamus gray one and someone wants it, it could command a big premium. If you have a color nobody wants, it hurts the value.

I don't care. That said, I've seen a few posts etc where people make a big deal about Santorini. There are likely similar for other special paints. I wanted Santorini. Other people are similarly irrational about their favourite shade of blue.

It has minimal to no value for resale. It would only matter in a private sale, and, of course, only if you are able to find the right buyer for that specific color.

Honestly, if this is of a concern to you I'd recommend just sticking to the stock colors. The whole point of going individual is to cater it more to you and your tastes.

I’ll say I do think certain individual colors will bring you back more on resale to at least get close to making up the difference. At least that was my experience trying to buy an individual blue F80….

I edited the initial post as it is clear I did not ask the right question.
Thanks to anyone who responded so far. Hopefully my question is more clear now.

Yes, frozen black would be an individual color. Most are around $4500. There is some variance based on the actual color you choose, and the model car you are buying. Best way to find out is to ask for sales rep what the price for color x is on the car you want. Of course, if it’s straight black you could just get black and get a stealth wrap. Likely cheaper than individual option and would probably age better also.

In that case, the individual color would cost around 10k (450p + 10% value hit) which is a different level of cost to me.

They'd still be worth it as something like SMB is just gorgeous and you'll love the way it looks each day you see it during ownership.

to me an individual color doesn't affect the resale price, here in Europe at least.
I'm experiencing it now, as I'm selling through an official dealer, my M140i with MP parts on (Mperf. lim. sleep differential and M. perfor. exhaust) and I had to remove them reintalling the stock one, as the price was the same. Every delaer bases the quotation through the Eurotax reselling guide (as I said, here in EU), that offer a major quotation only if you have some specifi options, for example Led hedlights, leather interiors etc. Mechanical parts or an individual color are not included, as they don't affect the price even if the car is wonderful, as in the end, the car quotation is that one, the only thing that count a bit is the mileage and the model year. So, I swapped to the stock parts again and I'll try to resell the Mperf. parts my own to earn something.

Its a matter of finding the right dealer / buyer when you are selling the vehicle. Yes most dealers will give you a reason that it will be hard to sell. But if you find the dealer who appreciates the uniqueness, they will offer the right price.

In my opinion, it really depends on the color. If you choose an individual color that has broad appeal and will attract interest, it will be easier to sell and/or trade. If you choose a color with limited appeal or that caters to a specific taste, it will be more difficult. Whether is a stock or custom color really doesn't trump the basic principles of supply and demand.
So that's my opinion on resale. My advice is to buy what you like. Life is too short.

I have a different feeling in terms of resale. In my experience, the individual colors sell really fast on the forums, which I realize is not really a true open market, but even the dealers often sell the individual colors for more. Each time I have tried to buy an individual color in the past on the second hand market, I've found them to sell extremely quickly, and often at asking price.
I've also ordered an SMB G80. I think you should go twilight purple for uniqueness as there are already 4 other SMB blue orders on the forums (see other thread). |

Lol, if he goes Twilight Purple that would make at least the third on the forums (with another person here heavily considering it) and there are at least 2-3 that are not on the forums here that I'm aware of. In the end it is still a mass produced car and there will still be other individual colors out there except for the very rare colors that few are even aware of. The BMW blues will almost always be some of the higher produced individual colors though.
