I would like to get the real truth on the possibility of ordering a custom color on your e60 when your order it from the factory. I have heard so many rumors and half truths about this, I would just like to know if anybody here knows for sure or not if you can get a e60 in US with a custom color, like Imola Red. I know they are putting Imola Red on the e60's in Europe, so what can't we do it here?

I am aware of the individual program that would allow you do do this but I know that BMW does not offer this on the e60 here in the US.

I have heard for $5000, you can get this done. I have also heard that it simply is not possible in the US.

So, if anybody has some legitimate info on this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Dalton... I don't know about the custom paint, but your car looks SHT hot! Did EuroRev do your rear diffuser? If so, does the lip around the exhaust match perfectly on the left and the right? My MTech kit is supposed to arrive anytime.

Thanks.

Yes EuroRev did the diffuser mod for me. The lip is a perfect match and you cannot tell that it has been modified unless you look underneath. They did a awesome job and was worth the wait. It cost me $300 to have this mod done. I ended just buying a brand new unpainted which was less than $100 so I did not have to drive around without a rear diffuser.
