And which blue is the one at the front and the one at the back from this picture?

Never mind, lol, it says on the bottom of the web page, Santorini and Miami

So how come there are colors that are not listed on the Individual configurator? like Miami, Enzian or Frozen Orange... now, where do I go to get the complete listing of the available Individual colors?

I believe Gentian and Enzian are the same color (enzian is the German word for it).

Miami isn't one of the offered colors by BMW individual. But BMW do take special requests that they sometimes accept. For instance, I saw a Velvey Blue g82 on Instagram, velvet blue isn't officially an option.

YES! It's so hard to know what blue you are truly getting until you see it in person. it's frustrating that BMW won't send out color swatches, even for some money.

Yes. This briefly confused me as well until I used Google Translate and then, oh look. Same word.

. Also, Enzian sounds cooler than Gentian. I have to ask my CA next time I see him. He's originally from Germany. We all say EN-zee-an, where as I think the German pronunciation might be closer to EN-chen?

If for whatever reason my Porsche allocation went to shit and I was forced to get a G82, this would be the color.....I think. I still love Brooklyn Gray a ton.

I've definitely been saying EN-zeeee-an. Haha

TIL Gentian (English word based on Latin) and Enzian (German word) refer to a blue alpine flowering plant.

Whoa! That is stunning. Looks so good with the carbon accents.

It does look quite good. I wonder how it would look paired with the YMB/SPY/Black carbon bucket interior.

m3rxn · 05-16-2021, 11:13 PM

Looks sweet. BMW did an awesome job on the G80 competition series. Not much room for the after market to work on. ie- diffuser, side skirts, front end-splitters. Car looks super aggressive straight out of the factory. Patiently waiting for the AWD release and reviews-

snareman · 05-16-2021, 11:20 PM

That looks great. It should have been offered as a stock color to replace YMB. The batch of blues they offered aren't as strong.

I did and went Santorini on my e92! You won't regret it I promise! It looks so so different in all different types of light! Dark blue at night, baby blue in the sun and every shade in between!

I remember it. I almost bought your Santorini M4, but someone beat me to it! Your car started my obsession with individual blues.

Wait a second, you're getting a 992 instead of a G82? Or did I misunderstand something? I thought you were clearly settled on getting a G82. I don't want to hijack the thread, if you have already announced this in a separate thread, then alternatively just give me the link to it. Really curious!

Yes, 'tis true. I'm off to Porsche. I'll link you to the thread. You've got some major catching up to do.

Anyone else get banned from the G8X section for making fun of its looks? https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1761187

It basically starts on page 303 (..if you're viewing from the mobile app). Shortly after I posted photos of the IOMG M3 I ran into that day, the calamity began.
