BMW presents an extraordinary selection of paint options within the automotive sector. While traditional hues such as Alpine White and Black Sapphire Metallic maintain their popularity, the BMW Individual program reveals a vast collection of distinctive colors. With more than 165 shades on offer, ranging from understated blues to lively yellows, the variety is impressive. Nonetheless, with almost 200 alternatives, certain colors are often overlooked. Here are a few that merit greater attention.
Borusan Turkish Blue (P9E)
BMW boasts a deep legacy with blue paints, featuring celebrated shades like Estoril Blue and Interlagos Blue. Borusan Turkish Blue, created in partnership with Borusan Otomotiv Motorsport, has been a favorite since 2008. This eye-catching hue is currently accessible on various M division models, alongside its darker counterpart, Miami Blue.
Mauritius Blue Metallic (287)
Mauritius Blue Metallic is yet another stunning blue, preceding Borusan Turkish Blue. This majestic tone has graced models dating back to the E30 and was notably showcased on an 850i owned by basketball superstar Michael Jordan. While resembling a color in Porsche's lineup, BMW's interpretation is uniquely metallic and often underestimated.
Midnight Sapphire II Metallic (R71)
Although Black Sapphire Metallic remains a frequent selection, Midnight Sapphire II Metallic offers a less common choice, primarily featured on luxury models, including Rolls Royce. This tint tends more toward blue than its counterparts but is frequently overlooked by the casual viewer, adding to its scarcity.
Midnight Amethyst Metallic (S0G)
Midnight Amethyst Metallic is a flexible color that, though not commonly seen on BMWs, shares its name with shades found in GMC and Honda color charts. This subdued purple provides a subtle yet distinctive choice for those in search of something unique. Porsche also includes a more vivid variant of Amethyst Metallic in their offerings.
St James Red (W65)
St. James Red, originally a color associated with Bentley, has been incorporated into BMW's selection. This lively red is more radiant than Cinnabar but darker than Imola Red, offering an attractive alternative to both while being less flamboyant than colors like Rosso Corsa.
Verde British Racing (P6E)
