Commentary: 
  • This color was short-lived (1993-98) and was only offered on an ad-hoc basis from BMW Individual.
  • Light affects the hues of this color. During the daylight, this color is lighter than its color swatch.  In lower light it shows closer to its color swatch.  8er owners with this color are advised to take extra precautions when doing paintwork on this vehicle to ensure color matching consistency.
  • There are scarce examples of 8er's painted in this color.  The two vehicles shown at the left are a M60 840CiA RHD and an early M73 850CiA Euro.
