Commentary
  • Outside of Germany, Sonderlackierung, color code 490, is thought to be a real color. 
  • Actually, Sonderlackierung signifies a special color to be applied to a BMW vehicle.
  • There are many 8er vehicles ordered in special order paint.  All but 19 have been identified.
  • The remaining 19 unidentified 8's were either used by BMW AG internally as development vehicles or for high-profile celebrity owners.  Information about these cars are unavailable at this time.
