Will San Marino blue be an available color on the M3/M4?

[1M4]

I love San Marino Blue on the M6 and would like to see it as a standard or BMW Individual option. I have seen pics online of the M3/M4 with that blue. I asked my rep and he said it would have to be approved by the factory. Is this true or do you just pay the 5k premium and maybe wait a little longer to be built?

Looks like there's 21 photo threads of owners with that color.

It's a popular Individual color - but best you decide ASAP as time's running out on the M3s...

Not available on the M3 anymore. Based on the BMW individual Visualiser, its only available for the following:

I ordered mine (M3) about one month ago and it took about two weeks to get it approved. It's in production already albeit pick up is July 2nd.

So, you answered your own question, right?

All Individual requests are subject to approval. It is part of the standard processs. Did you reasearch it? There is a wealth of information about placing an Individual order available in this forum.

Also, the new CS models have San Marino available as a standard color, another fact a search would turn up.

I remember something happening with the Sakhir orange being not available when ordering or it flipping to or from an individual color .BMW does sometimes specify the months of the year when certain colors can be ordered.Probably production reasons which is reasonable.

Sakhir Orange never switched from a standard color to an Individual color. There was a period where it was unavailable due to a supplier issue. It was later reintroduced as Sakhir Orange II. But like I say, San Marino is a standard color on the new M3/M4 CS so clearly the color itself is available.

Now, as far as whether it will be approved for an Individual M3/M4 (non-CS) order placed today, well only BMW knows that. All you can do is have your sales associate try to place the order and see if BMW OKs it.

Possibly will be available as a F82/F83 MY 2019 color for the US market.
