I forgot to mention. BMW told me that they decided that Ontario Gold was just too hard/tricky (whatever) to produce. So they canceled the color. You can’t get it anymore.
They made only four 7 series cars with it (I assume new F-01/F-02 cars). I had assumed that the 650 in the photo they sent to me for color approval in Dec 2008 was a customer car. It was not. It was the test car. They have to paint the color on a real care before they can sell the color in series production. I don’t know what happened to that car. Maybe it has been repainted, your guess is as good as mine. But from what BMW told me, it is not on the streets. It was not sold, etc.
So, I have only 1 of 5 Ontario Gold production BMWs that will ever be sold. And the only 6 series (so of course the only M6). I had not expected that the exterior would be as one of a kind as the interior. Bonus!
Another exciting model introduced by BMW at the Frankfurt Auto Show is the BMW M3 Edition. These individual M3s feature some modifications in body design and interior features, as well as special light-alloy wheels and an even lower chassis.
The M3s will run in limited production for six months and they will be available in four distinct colors: Alpine White, Black, Dakar Yellow, and Monte Carlo Blue. The M3 Edition models will also sport the BMW Individual High-Gloss Satin Chrome.

Estorilu tagad sauc par Monte Carlo Blue
interesanti, ka "Estoril was axed because it was solvent-based and made using a process which is harmful to the environment. But BMW has finally figured out how to recreate the exact same colour using new eco-friendly water-based paint - Monte Carlo blue"
