What were your other two possibilities?
Sorry 3 others...I cant count. haha

1. Atlantis Blue
2. Daytona Violet
3. Techno Violet
4. Velvet Blue

I used to HATE the Atlantis Blue hue since my dad had a 93 Corolla in that shade and I hated driving to school in that, but when I saw a GT3 and G80 in the color, it jumped to the top of my list. For the others, I'm a die hard purple fan (Go ECU Pirates!) so had to have them in the top. I guess purple will be the next when I get to the GT3 in a couple years.

All great choices - I think I’d like Atlantis after I owned it for a while. Purple was one of my HS colors and my graduation robe was purple.

I never thought I’d say this but I think I’d get a GT3 in Ruby Star Neo. Every time I see a car in that color, I like it more and more!

Thanks! I didn't know this existed. I don't think the render for my Individual color (Anglesey Green) is very close to real life, but I'll take it for now.

Atlantis Metallic isn't available anymore (or at least currently, not sure if it has been discontinued permanently). Got an allocation about a month ago and requested Atlantis, but it was denied by BMW citing some quality issues. They said that it was pulled from all factories along with Long Beach Blue & Frozen Tulum Blue Metallic. I was asked to select a color that showed up on the individual configurator instead.

It left Belgium on February 18, the ship is going to arrive into Panama tomorrow and then BMW Genius told me that it should dock into Port Hueneme on March 11, so about 22 days. I then wonder how long it takes to get up to the Bay.

The shipping part of this journey is so very random!

Me too. In port - there is ship in Bremerhaven leaving leaving for PONY/NJ today. If I am not "in transit" by early next week it will be at least another week. I am getting itchy but maybe April is better anyway.

The old post summarizing the timing of the order/shipping/delivery process made it sound like it could take up to 12 days.
