Interesting one off. AY wouldn't be my choose but that's why it's called Individual.

SMB or SO yes yes yes

It looks pretty good but I am not a fan of Austin Yellow.To bad it wasn't Laguna Seca Blue,now that is a color that I would really like to see on an M2.
AY grows on you and can be offset with LOTS of carbon fiber.

biggest drawback is the fact its a cock magnet...

Not sure that this suggests anything other than for the right customer and the right cost BMW will make an M2 in an individual color. I follow the industry closely and haven't read about any upgrades to the paint shop in Leipzig, those upgrades are huge investments that rarely go under the radar. Most of the time it requires physical changes to the plant or shutdowns to pull that off and weeks of testing and validation.

He says BMW special color is NOW OPEN for M2. This is my advisor, ask around see what yours says....but this changes everything!
Changes everything for those who are willing to pay crazy money for a different color. Changing everything would be individual options at affordable prices or more colors on the standard palette

$26K is about what the lucky "few" paid to have their 1M's(less than 10 cars) built in a special color(s). That is bc Leipzig can not paint the car in Individual colors, so the car gets built(in a standard color), then sent to Garching(Paint Zentrum) and then dismantled and painted and reassembled. That is why it is so expensive and time consuming.

Who ever it is in the US, they are getting one awesome color on their M2!!

I feel like lucky should be the word in quotes (not "few") if some poor soul paid $26k for this color.

If someone paid 26k for this color then that is truly stupid. If you are going to do something so expensive atleast get a color that's not available on any random m4

Guys. The cost for this AY paint is $12,750. We don't know what the extra customization is.

My SA has allocation and can order right now with individual paint. It's a thing now.

Is this for real?

The important thing, though, is that BMW is just failing at communication.

Is the Individual program available now? Only a few people know at the moment. I bet most dealers around the world have no idea.

Is the M2 getting a new engine next year? Maybe, nothing's confirmed.

C'mon, BMW. This is just bad.

the extra 26k is exactly what Dackelone said above. The paint might be 13k, but the privilege of actually getting it is another 26.

You also pay for disruption of the production line as an "Extra"

Not really...

go to the nearest electronics store... - Do you see ads for the next gen models or do you simply see a bunch of stock for current models?

How far in advance before the next iphone or Samsung Galaxy phone comes out do buyers have confirmation of EXACT details of the new product? About a month? ?

Why would BMW AG or NA release details of a 2018 model any sooner than they have to? they want to keep sales of the 2017s moving until they are all gone.
