Could always go back to the old way with HEA cars...

US HEA Draft Guide (Initial Market Launch Demonstrator Vehicles). More colors and options will become available in block updates over the next 12 months.

I think Silverstone is being replaced with Hockenheim Silver on the next production block update.

Nice to see the alcantara headliner is still standard. And caramel is back!

Yep. Back in our day Caramel was a standard option, and not an individual $$$ option.

Loved that color in my E39.

Those. Rims.

Can't wait to see the real thing

hanman · 07-21-2017, 05:54 PM

Does anyone know when it will be available?

eRiggs5 · 07-21-2017, 07:36 PM

I love donington grey! Tried to get it on my f80 and was told impossible. Carbon roof would be great!

doug_999 · 07-21-2017, 07:43 PM

Wow black sapphire metallic- what a unique color!

BMWFanatic2008 · 07-21-2017, 08:20 PM

Very poor (boring) choice for both exterior and interior colors.

Ultimatespeed · 07-21-2017, 08:51 PM

No sakhir orange or red interior?!

I hope they add this to the normal orders. The launch colors are not as exciting as I hoped. Colors seem conservative except for snapper rocks which is

.

E90potentialbuyer · 07-21-2017, 08:56 PM

Hmm. Any idea what is M driver's package?

Probably some more M badges?

MachinesWithSouls · 07-21-2017, 09:11 PM

I'll never understand how they choose some of these colors. Monte Carlo blue looks almost identical to Estoril 2, and Marina Bay looks an awful lot like Interlagos.

Might as well just make the original color - you're unlikely to see some of these in person before you buy one, and you can't really get an accurate reading from a color swatch. Might as well make some new colors.

Here's a description of the M6 M Driver's Package: With the M Driver's Package, the maximum speed of the BMW M6 Coupé, the BMW M6 Convertible and the BMW M6 Gran Coupé are boosted to 305 km/h (190 mph). The Driver's Package can be ordered with the purchase of your new car, but can also be retrofitted at anytime. All other technical specifications remain the same during installation. Included is a voucher for a BMW M Intensive Training with the BMW Driving Experience.

92k miles and so fresh.

It's weird that Sakhir Orange is not available!
Used to be available for all M cars (M3/M4/M5/M6)...

Pure · 07-22-2017, 04:39 AM

Thanks for the list of the M5 color palette.....
I like Snappers.....
3 shades of gray and 2 shades of blue !? I am really disappointed by the list and its little variety of colors..... Where are the following: Silvestone? Carbon black?

They could have included some of the beautiful orange tones: Sunset or Sakir? Indoors, where is a blue or red interior?
I find it too boring and I think the selection is short...

einscot · 07-22-2017, 05:42 AM

i'll wait for the comp package to get introduced before ordering - but happy that ventilated seats is an option. need those living in this god forsaken swamp of a state

Yes, it's the final step where BMW can't find any more space on the car to add an ///M logo so they simply glue one on to the driver. Can't believe they've been missing that opportunity for so long!
