BMW Individual paints are available in four finishes, ranging from playful non-metallics and classic metallics to shimmering pearl effects and sophisticated BMW Frozen paints.

1. The bold and bright non-metallic paints are strong in their application and elegant in their simplicity, portraying confidence and excitement at first glance.
2. Metallic finishes have a special shine or gloss. They contain very small flakes of aluminum that refract light, and in some cases these flakes are colored, so the finish contains exceptionally deep tints of complimentary hues within a base color.
3. Pearl Effect tones use small flakes of mica, a synthetic material that resembles the sheen of a natural pearl. These refract light evenly and act like a prism, so that the color of the paint appears to change from different angles.
4. BMW Frozen paints have a matte finish, which is very low-gloss and non-reflective in its aesthetic, highlighting the sculptural character of your BMW. Frozen paint uses silicates in a clear-coat finish as a matting agent to achieve a velvety-matte surface effect – they are highly unique and are therefore produced in limited quantities.

Within each of these finishes, there are even more unique treatments that require multiple coats or extended cure times, depending on the specific ingredients and features of each special color. Of particular note is Imola Red, a passionate triple-coat non-metallic paint that lays thick over the stunning contours of your BMW and ranks very highly among BMW’s historical shades.

I thought Tanzanite was one of BMW's Individual exterior paint colors. The extra cost would be for the additional things in the paint or done to the paint...and sometimes along with the base (undercoat) paint that it is applied to which can also facilitate its unusual visual appearance.

Does Tanzanite Blue ever "read" purple?

Hello forum,

I am about the pull the trigger on a 440 Gran Coupe, special order, and am having trouble pulling the trigger for one reason:

I read a SINGLE post somewhere that said the color I am picking, Tanzanite Blue, sometimes looks or "reads" purple. The post was specifically referring to parking garages.

Unfortunately I park in a commercial-type garage both at home and at work, so the car will spend most of its life under that kind of lighting.

I was so excited to pull the trigger, but this now has me worried, even though it was a single post.

For anyone who has Tanzanite Blue or who has seen it in person, thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!!
