Been having trouble finding anyone who knows anything about this in the bay area :/ I've tried now Peter Pan's BMW, Steven's Creek, and Pleasanton. Noone seems to have any clue it's super frustrating :|

Carmelle Pretty sure you got answers to this yesterday. I'll post this incase any.. confusion.
BMW SPECIAL ORDER PROCEDURES BMW of North America offers special order paints, upholsteries and trims for several models at an additional price. All requests must be sent directly to your respective Regional Distribution Manager via e-mail. Your Regional Distribution Manager then sends the request to the VIP Ordering Specialist to research feasibility and pricing with the Factory. Once the feasibility and pricing is confirmed, a response will be sent back to the Regional Distribution Office with the price and required lead time for the request. PAINT Because the availability and feasibility of paint colors change frequently, the factory does not have a set “list” of paint colors to choose from. A customer can make a request to his/her BMW Client Advisor for a specific paint color or color tone (i.e. “Laguna Seca Blue” or “a blue toned paint”) and we can inquire if that particular color is available or what colors the factory can recommend as an alternative. Some paints require additional lead time added to production of the vehicle; this will be communicated to the Regional Distribution Manager when responding with the feasibility. Standard pricing for special order paint is $4735 whsl / $5200 retail, however, some paints are more complex and require additional costs which will also be communicated to the dealer. UPHOLSTERY When requesting special upholstery, you must include the specifications of the order (options & packages). This will allow the Factory to know which seats and content will be on the vehicle; this will help determine feasibility. Special upholsteries will add additional lead time to an order, but that will be determined upon the extent of the request. TRIM (Interior) Please include what options and packages will be on the specific vehicle. Once a customer decides that they want to proceed with the special order, you must fill out the “Special Order Confirmation Form” below and send it to your Regional Distribution Office. The Regional Distribution Office will then send the request to the VIP Ordering Specialist who will add the special order option codes to the order. Once these special codes are added to the order, the vehicle will be locked in 102 Status and no further modifications can be made. |

I mean come on we're all friends here on the forums and can be honest with each other, but we all know your average Client Adviser would actually be surprised when they found out that the cars they're around all day for realsies........ have things....called engines in them What questions do you have and what do you want to know? I'm quite familiar with the entire process and have done it quite a few times for my clients. |

Individual will not be available until 2019 model year. Received verification from Bmw about a month ago regarding this topic.

That said... luckily, thanks to a friend, I think I've finally found a dealership who's willing to take this on for me now. They didn't even bat an eye at the request; and what's more, even knew what individual options would likely be offered. So hopefully all goes well! |

I have one that just finished production I ordered for a client with BMW Individual. Was it your BMW NA Regional Rep that told you or your contact for special orders?
