In real life they look different from the pictures actually, the 'deep' is darker than the 'dark'.

Yeah frozen dark grey has the ability to be much brighter in light while still looking very dark at night (my favorite thing about the paint). The frozen deep is just darker all the time really and seems more dull because of it.

I have a F80 Comp in Tanzanite Blue with Silverstone interior and although I really like the Tanzanite, I'm now thinking about maybe getting Oxford Green Metallic.

Still undecided and looking all over the Internet for nice colours but sometimes hard to decide.

I would definitely want a darker colour that is dynamic in the sunlight and goes well with those kidney grills.

Oxford exterior and Silverstone interior is where I'm at right now 😃

Also for me Gentian/Enzian is in the mix. A forum member is getting a G82 in that color (snareman) and I can't wait to see pics of it.

Using BMW's Individualizer site, they have pictures of the paint chips of each color and Voodoo looks to be slightly brighter/lighter than Santorini, I think? But IF those pictures where taken under different lighting, then that throws the comparison off, so who knows. Also indoor lighting is different than outdoor where the car will be seen the most. There are too many variables when trying to compare colors on a computer screen, my brain is pretzeled now just thinking about it.
All great choices. I did see an E92 M3 in Santorini once and I was floored. Beautiful color.

Any idea how much the individual colors cost? My dealer is useless, said he'd get back to me.

Considering Oxford green too.

Typically it is $5k. There are some "individual" options that can be had for $3,600 but those are the ones that are shown on the configurator but labeled as individual.

Any of the ones show on the BMW Individualizer configurator and under the special paints section is $5k.

Voodoo is much better in person. Both are f*cking great....but Voodoo is better.
