To be honest I think that colour is awesome. Definitely an acquired taste though. 

[Twistee 451]

Just de-badge it, no one will look twice. 

[Driftit 2069]

Not sure about that.  I don't want to live in a early Fast n Furious movie.
I feel like the M5 is meant to be an inconspicuous absolute weapon.  Having it in a look at me Lambo green doesn't fit.

If I were in the market the colour would be a plus for me. I wish we got more brightly coloured BMWs sold new here, BMW NZ seem intent on flooding the market for black, white and 50 shades of grey.

Please can we have TechnoViolet brought back?

Yeah now that is a awesome inconspicuous colour.  Didn't know if wasn't available anymore.

[lord_jagganath 421]

there's Twilight Purple and Purple Silk, but not quite the same.

[TonyT 48]

Technoviolet is still available as an individual colour on some model builds. Thundernight was a similar launch colour on the M240i and there are a few in NZ.

[M3AN 4016]

FTW for Techno, E36 gold.

Oh, and Atlantis Blue!! Also E36 gold, is that still available?

[TonyT 48]

Have a play around and find out!

lol - that site is simply depressing, it represents unachievable ambition for me.

BMW M used to talk to enthusiasts, now it's just to milk people with more money than they know what to do with.

Yes, that is a green tinge you see in my reflection... and I've owned an M car for over 20 years.

Amen, brother.

They still do Techno Violet on this Holden Commodore.

 

[M3AN 4016]

That ^ actually looks not terrible.

I like it.  But a lady at work was walking past and saw me playing with the configurator and said she likes that Holden and what a pretty colour.  Oof.  I should have shown her the Ford Mustang with the frontal damage (M4).

He's turned to the dark side, traded it in and bought a Porsche
