Market Find: 2023 BMW Individual Santorini Blue X3 M40i
Santorini Blue has made multiple waves here at Tailored Driver; this time, we’re seeing it on a BMW X3 M40i. It’s quite rare to see a BMW Individual color on a non-M X3, but don’t underestimate it. This was a $4,500 factory paint option selected by the previous owner.
Market Find: Light Yellow 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster at Broad Arrow’s Air|Water Sale
As an expansion of the Porsche-focused Luftgekühlt, the Air|Water spinoff event continues to grow. This year, auction house Broad Arrow is in on the action with a Porsche-exclusive auction that certainly won't disappoint.
Market Find: Audi exclusive Nardo Grey SQ7
Will·
Perhaps we've said it before, but we'll proudly say it again- Audi's SQ7 is the most under-rated vehicle in their lineup. The RS 6 gets all the looks, and the S/RS Q8 gets all the Urus comparisons, but if you want a 500hp family hauler that'll road trip with the best of 'em, look no further.
Market Find: BMW Individual Verde Ermes Pearl Metallic X7 xDrive 40i
Will·
Tailored Driver is about pushing boundaries, and this X7 does exactly that in more ways than one. BMW Individual Verde Ermes Pearl Effect is one shade we're not certain we've seen before, but we certainly think it was a big bet that paid off for the original Tailor.
Market Find: BMW Individual Frozen Black M3 Coupe
Will·
Special editions are always a bit of a grey area in the Tailored Driver world because to be honest, they’re usually just a ploy to move a few units with very specific options. This Frozen Black Edition M3 is the exception to the rule- just 20 were made for the US and if you wanted one, you had to call a hotline at a specific time to get it. Seriously.
Market Find: Audi exclusive Aventurine Orange Mica TT S
Will·
This right here is exactly why we started our Tailored Driver experiment, and why we saw a need in the space. Audi North Park has a very cool TT S in the rarely seen Aventurine Orange Mica- that's the headline. But based on presentation, you'd really need to be looking to find it.
Market Find: Audi TT RS Heritage Edition in Alpine White at BMW Minnetonka
Will·
We've covered the Audi TT RS Heritage cars in the past, but due to incredibly limited quantities and equally tasteful build configurations, we simply do not see them often. Just 50 in total (10 each of five different heritage-themed color combinations) were produced, which nearly guarantees the buyer of this particular Tailored Driver be the only one they'll ever encounter- a feat usually reserved for cars in the 6 and 7 figure range.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Linen Grey Metallic over Leather to Sample Linen Grey 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet
Will·
Perhaps in current times a C4S cab with a $126k sticker price wouldn't be a shock (they now start at $159k), but back in 2008 it was nearly unheard of. Yet here we find ourselves, featuring this Linen-on-Linen sporting both Paint and Leather to Sample from the factory.
Market Find: Volkswagen Spektrum ’91 Blue Golf R
Will·
What's the origin of '91 Blue? We don't really know, but it's not that we haven't tried to figure it out. We even reached out to a member of the product team at Volkswagen who made the cars happen. Here's what we got.
