BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Received this from my dealer re: getting some BMW individual colors/interior for my 2020 M8 Comp.

There are no individual options for 8 series at this time, at least not in this market.

I would take that with a grain of salt. Get confirmation elsewhere. Have you tried a different dealer?

The latest Individual Colours are online under the Visualiser here in the UK (8 Series has many individual options):

Thanks, yes, I had seen those pages, however just because the options are there doesn't mean you can actually order one. Placing an order with paint or interior options that are not on the standard build page require permission from BMW Germany and right now, based on the attachment I provided in the original post, they are not doing individual options on the 8 series. Of course this may change and probably will change but that is what my dealer provided after talking w/the folks in Germany. I concede it could also be a dealership thing and have reached out to a large dealership in FL that I have dealth with before to see if they have any additional pull w/BMW.

Sorry, I probably wasn't clear in my original post. I know that there are some "individual" options available in the build configurator on bmwusa.com however what I am referring to are colors and interior options *not* on the bmw usa website. BMW makes many other colors/options available beyond what is in the retail configurator. These run 4-5k extra for the privilege. According to what my dealer has told me that option, for those colors (a couple dozen) beyond what is available in the bmw configurator, are not available at this time on the 8 series.

GKW is not paint. It was originally Tanzanite which was too dark for me. Tried to order green, but no go. Yet.

Did you check with another dealer? Like I said above I wouldn't just trust what one dealer says. Check with another dealer and see what they have to say. I do not believe it.

Thanks for the suggestion, yes, I am checking w/a delership in FL that I purchased my 2016 750 CPO from to see if they have any different result.

Happy to follow up on this... after two dealers said Individual customization was not doable I reached out to BMW David (thanks to a suggestion on another thread I believe). He was able to get our request for exterior color (R71) Midnight Saphire II:

Going to do European Delivery in mid December hopefully.

Yup he's da man! It was me that suggested to contact David. I'm looking to do ED in May of next year. It would be great to do a group ED.
