Custom color X5M/X6M
How many people have a custom or "individual" color X5M/X6M? I'm told it "can't" be done, but I don't really believe that. I've already seen a couple of threads with people with custom colors. How much was it and what was the time frame? (feel free to PM if you're not comfortable discussing in public)
We'll be getting rid of my wifes A7 soon and she really wants an RSQ8... but damn do I miss my E70 X5M and would love to convince her to get an X5M/X6M.. this would really help! would love to see some pictures as well so feel free to show off!!

As of the 2021 Model Year you can now get the X5/6/7 in Individual Paint. See the individual visualizer to see the "Special Paints" approved for order.

I would personally never order that color, but that does look great!

Priority 1 option paints for X5/6 models (Tanzanite Blue II, Ametrin, Dravit Grey) are $1950, no significant delay in production. BMW Manufaktur Individual paint for X5/6/7 M are $5K+; some of these colors will deactivate some of the safety features because of interference with the sensors from the paint material composition, these will delay production up to 12 weeks. Some dealers aren't familiar with the process, so they may just be ignorant since most people aren't ordering these. You can't do it on the web in your build, SA/Manager has to notify factory of the special color option once you order. Larger volume dealerships are more familiar with the process from what I have heard.

I actually think the F95 has a good standard color selection this time around. If I went with a individual 5K paint, it would have to be one wild color. Signal green, Imola red, Daytona violet, Fire orange, Chalk grey etc....

LOL! Signal green was the first thing I showed the lady, was an instant no. There's no chalk for the X's sadly, or that would be #1. Daytona violet is a little *too* purple for such a big car. I actually would love for them to bring back Techno Violet instead, way better color IMO. After looking at the list, I'm thinking Oxford Green, Lime Rock Grey, or Grigio Telesto. But the fanboy in me is probably going to go for OG or LRG to keep it "bmw". Going to do some shopping around and see who can do the best for us, confidently. But thanks to you guys, I may just be getting into an X6M instead of that dime a dozen Q8 platform. That's literally all we see in our area.

They warn you on the site when you go to the visualizer: Please note that with U490 BMW Individual paint the function “Lane change assistant”, which is a part of option 5AU “Driving assistant professional” has to be deactivated. This happens by adding option 8TR "decoding additional function".

BMW Individual & Lane Change Assist https://g07.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1799732 TLDR; All BMW Manufaktur Individual 490 paints (colors which have been available for many years) have not been optimized for current radar compatibility - this includes paint certification and thickness. And my copy-paste from another thread and translation for LCA deactivation when ordering 490 paints from: https://www.g20-forum.de/forum/threa...k-lane-assist/ "Please note that with 490 BMW Individual paint the function "Lane change assistant" which is a part of option 5AU "Driving assistant professional" has to be deactivated. This happens by adding option 8TR "decoding additional function" The problem with the new radar sensors is that different paints reflect or scatter the radar waves differently. In the development phase, every BMW standard production paint is tested and optimized for radar compatibility, but the majority of BMW Individual Manufaktur 490 paints (developed pre-LCA) have not been tested. It may well be that the sensors works without any problems - or there may be many false or non-detections. Ensuring the radar compatibility of the current catalog of 490 paints is time-consuming, complex and costly according to factory sources and the fact that there aren't significant numbers of 490 paint orders for BMW to justify.
