    Beautiful color and IMO, for a car not doing daily work, go for it. Otherwise, IMO, that special color can create tricky complications. My wife and I ordered a new X5 this past summer and we almost went for an Individual color but for various reasons (one was cost, but it wasn't the top deciding factor), decided against it. One thing that I was stuck on was paint availability/pre-painted parts availability. A quick check on my local dealers' parts site, and I couldn't even get a touch up paint set for the color we were considering. That, and I also thought, future bodywork might be a tricky thing. If I'm wrong, I'd love some correction from some people experienced with these special colors.

      My X3M is an individual British Racing Green and IND had no trouble providing a painted wing and reflectors.

      Also, I foolishly did not PPF this car, so I have a couple rock chips on the front bumper... l plan to have the front bumper resprayed next year and I'll PPF it then. But, I also know a good bodyshop. They assured me they can match the paint no problem.

              LSB on black Mk60. Yeah the price is quite fair actually although not low miles.

                I thought someone would have a comment on this one: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...-m3-coupe-186/

                Gorgeous color combo. Seems like strange time to flip after purchasing in 2020 for $54K. But at $55K with one day left.

                  Looking at two ultra low milers shows the difference a color combo can make -- leaving aside drop top, which may or may not explain or make up for any difference.
