Rarest color combo

ErikJ1 · 06-02-2023, 09:59 AM

Hi all, the wife and I are planning to see if we can get a 23 or 24 M3Cx allocation. She is wanting a rare combo, is there anyway to see how many of each combo has been produced? Like for ex..how many Java Green with KO interior have made it to the US..thanks

MY23 allocations would have been already locked and you cannot find a modifiable one anymore.

Also there have not been any information regarding the production number split based on colors. One cannot even find how many M3s are produced in a quarter as BMW has clubbed M and M performance vehicles as one in their sales reports.

When in doubt, just order a really weird combo that probably nobody would ever order....

Like madeira red metallic over yas marina interior. You might get some hate.... but you could reasonably claim 1 of 1

How about the McD combo, Dakar or Speed yellow with Fiona Red.

Sao Paulo Yellow on Tartufo

That has infamously been done.....

Wouldn't it be better to get a combination that you actually like?

That said, I have been curious what the most popular colors are. I've always thought the top 4-5 are some combination of Alpine White, Black Sapphire, Brooklyn Grey, and Skyscraper, perhaps followed by Dravit, but that doesn't match what I see on the street.

One of the guys on the old M3 forum had a Phoenix Yellow/Imola Red combo on his E46..

Didn’t they stop taking individual color orders for the G8X this April? I thought I saw a couple posts on that previously

That deadline was for MY23 G80.

Back in ‘04 when I worked for a BMW dealer we had a Phoenix Yellow coupe with a Kiwi green interior.

Someone eventually bought it.

Haven’t seen much individual Frozen Orange II Metallic with Ivory White Full Merino Leather carbon bucket. It’s a bit bold but haven’t seen one yet.

Also you can look into any brown base colors as well.

NorCalAthlete · 06-02-2023, 02:08 PM

Tanzanite seems to be a fairly rare individual color, but usually gets paired with KO, black, or white for the interior. Occasionally red. However...I got Tartufo with Tanzanite and love the combo. It's classy, it's warm, it goes well with the carbon fiber, and despite seeing a few other Tanzanites (literally maybe 3-4) none have Tartufo interiors.

So I'd say that's a pretty rare combo but not crazy colors where it would be obnoxious to sell down the line or where only a very certain person would like it.

Yeah sounds beautiful. I live in S Fl so dark colors are out. I love that Frozen Grey Mettalic II..though

BryanCO · 06-02-2023, 03:03 PM

Pick your favorite Individual color and whatever interior color and it will be very uncommon.

Tanzanite is a "standard" Individual color now and not really that rare?

There was like 1 Cream White G80 made. Mocca Metallic is rare.

When I was going to spec a green I checked on Malachite Green Dark and only 1 BMW in the US had been painted in it (an X5 if I remember correctly).

There is now a Malachite G80 M3 in Canada, but I'm not aware of one in the US.

In my opinion the car is rare enough on its own so any additional colors, etc would be overkill. Having said that, take a look at
Zanzibar 2 as an exterior color and then mocha, or cognac, or fiona red interior if you’re really after rare.
