Why We Love It:

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.

Santorini Blue has graced multiple generations of BMWs, starting with the E36, and remains a standout choice in today’s BMW Individual program. This vibrant shade is reminiscent of colors like Laguna Seca Blue and Voodoo Blue, and it complements the X3’s body lines exceptionally well. Pair it with Black Vernasca Leather inside, and you’ve got yourself a true tailored driver.

Despite evidence you may see here suggesting otherwise, Nogaro Blue as a paint color didn’t show up at Audi until the RS2 era. If you’re doing the math, that’s about a decade before this 1983 Audi quattro left the factory. Yet here it sits.
So how’d it happen? Auto Bordin, the Swiss dealer listing this car tells the story fairly comprehensively, and so we’re going to post the English translation below.
