M- individual colors - Canada
Well, I'm pretty upset! Went to dealership to see if they could get me an individual color (Lemans Blue)on an M4 which is not one of the pre-selected individual colors and was told that it was not possible.
I probably spent 2 years trying to figure out which shade of blue I wanted and my dreams were dashed in an instant. Anyone have any luck with this? Was ready to take that 5-6 k hit to get the color I wanted too. Would have been keen on going state side to get color I want but I guess imports on new cars are complex, warranties/service not the same, price of Canadian dollar vs American isn't too hot right now.. Any help appreciated!

Yes, it probably won't be easy, but it is certainly possible for them.
U.S. dealers will not normally sell a new car to someone without a U.S. driver's license, although I'm sure it happens. |

huh? That makes no sense. The dealer can absolutely order you that colour I would find a new dealer.
Here is the response I got asking for Frozen silver: Pleased to meet you albeit email, allow me to introduce myself as I am responsible for vehicle ordering/ planning for BMW Canada. Your email was turned over to me from our Head office in Munich as we are not particularly customer facing. From reading the chain below I can see your interest in an individual M3 in Frozen Silver for European Delivery next year 2016 May, I would suggest to begin talking to your retailer as soon as possible as we are in the current model year and product offering should not change by your requested delivery date in May. BMW Canada / BMW AG is responsible to assist a retailer through vehicle ordering but are unable to facilitate sales as we do not have licenses to sell Canadian Spec vehicles direct to customers. Let me know if you have a configuration ready to go with and I can suggest a retailer to work with that is closest to you. Alternatively you can visit our homepage and use to locator function as well: http://www.bmw.ca/en/fastlane/dealer-locator.html#CA/en y The process should start at the retailer, once the retailer confirms your order (colours, options, pricing) they will receive an allocation from BMW Canada and assign you a production number then we can confirm your European delivery. Allocation is approx 2 month prior to delivery, to put it in perspective a May production would be confirmed approximately in March Please me know if you need to know any other details. Hope this helps BMW Group Canada David Co Analyst, Ordering and Volume Planning 50 Ultimate Drive Richmond Hill, Ontario L4S 0C8 So in short your dealer are stupidz! |

Wow! Thanks guys! I'm glad for your help. My SA is a nice guy, I just think that maybe no one's ever requested what I am requesting because our dealership is smaller/serves a smaller population bassin. I will follow up with him in the next few weeks as I am on vacation as well as him. A big shout out for your help. I will definitely keep you posted as this goes by!

Awesome! I'm still pondering my colors. It will be in 2016 if I pull the trigger. This is more a want than a need right now... Gotta transform it into a need
