I fell in love with LSB when I saw this car.

M2Cmtl · 03-13-2024, 09:53 AM

LSB would look great on the G87 as well.

M_Torx · 03-13-2024, 09:56 AM

Great news. Someone check if yas marina is available now

03BeastCharmer · 03-13-2024, 09:58 AM

I didn't like it on the E46, and it still hasn't grown on me.

But glad others have the option.

That was a wrap. Several people have been denied YMB previously.

Someone out in California had a fern blue. But I believe it is non metallic compared to yas marina.

It always was available...

LSB was JUST approved, I got an email from BMWNA since I had previously been inquiring about it. They had to research and test whether or not the color could be accurately duplicated.

What sucks is that now everyone and their mother is gonna order this making it THAT much less special. Oh well...

Not that many people are going to be paying $4,500 for individual colors. You should still be able to go to the supermarket and not park next to another one. Most of the world doesn't even know you can get individual colors.

One these slots are reserved, it’s nearly impossible to add one more without disrupting the production schedule. The second reason is availability of chemical components required for the individual color.

The bigger mystery is how these production slots with individual color are allocated worldwide.

They don’t reject a color choice based on production capabilities unless it is nearing the end of the model year switch over and even then the rejection is worded as such that if the individual is willing to wait for the next model year allocations they can do as such.

However, they will reject colors based on the chemical makeup as you said and will typically suggest other colors that are available and similar.

Other times they will just reject a color because they don’t want to offer it at that given time perhaps due to upcoming special editions (i.e. Jahre editions), etc.

I have a dilemma, literally ordered a pure blue to get close to LSB and took delivery last month and this happened 🤬🤬🤬 order another G80 just for the color? 🤦🏻&zwj;♂️

Do you enjoy throwing money away? Just keep what you have. Pure blue is still a great color.

snareman · 03-13-2024, 12:08 PM

I wonder if/when this will be available for the X vehicles. I'm not going to get a G8x again but could besee getting an X3 in LSB.
