Market Find: BMW Individual Long Beach Blue M3 Sedan
Will·
I'll level with you- Long Beach Blue is not the first color that comes to mind when I think BMW Individual, but maybe it should be. Lifted from the first generation M2 among others, Long Beach looks absolutely stunning on this M3 sedan.

Will·
While it's not the first Maritime Macan GTS we've featured, there's just something about pairing this classic Porsche blue with the brand's volume leader.
Market Find: 2000 Mercedes-Benz G500 SWB Europa in Porsche Irish Green on BaT
First up, it's a repaint. We do include those here, particularly when they appear to be well done and in an interesting or popular color. In this case, the 2000 Mercedes-Benz G500 short-wheelbase hardtop you see here is painted Porsche Irish Green.
Market Find: 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring 6-speed in PTS Fjord Green on BaT

Market Find: Audi exclusive Samoa Orange RS 6 avant
Will·
If there was ever a car that fit the Tailored Driver ethos, this is quite possibly it. George and I had met previously, but really bonded over driving then-new Samoa Orange Audi models- his a TT competition, mine the boss's S5 - and attending just about every VW Group event in the Mid-Atlantic.
Market Find: 2024 Porsche 911 S/T in Shade Green Metallic
Shade Green Metallic is a standard color for Porsche 911 S/T, though we'd argue that even the most basic paint on such a highly exclusive car shouldn't disqualify our posting it on here.
Market Find: Paint to Sample Maritime Blue 2011 Porsche 911 at Ryan Friedman Motorcars
From our perspective, Paint to Sample examples of cars like this 997.2-era Porsche 911 are some of the hardest to find. Paint to Sample services being chosen for a car wasn't nearly as common in this era, making them so much rarer and hard to find than modern Porsche models.
Market Find: Audi RS 5 Sportback in Solar Orange
Also known as Glut Orange, Solar Orange is a long-running Audi exclusive mainstay that captures the primary orange vibe.
Market Find: One of One Audi exclusive Bordeaux Violet B5 RS 4 Avant
While we find any tailored car to be special, cars in the rarest of colors built in eras where rare specifications weren't that prevalent grab us a little extra hard. Now, make it a car like and enthusiast legend like the B5 RS 4 with its Cosworth-tuned-from-the-factory 2.7-liter biturbo and wagon configuration and we're even more enthused.
Market Find: BMW Individual Wildberry Metallic M3 Competition
Will·
In our minds, BMW Individual's Wildberry Metallic is just about as good as it gets. Not too serious, yet absolutely sinister, it's a juxtaposition that works incredibly well on M cars across the Tailored spectrum.
