EU Market Find: BMW Individual Atlantis Blue Metallic 520i Touring
Will·
While it's easier to attain a Tailored Driver if your wallet is thick enough to require chiropractic intervention, we think it's more fun when Tailored status is within reach of the everyman or woman. At €3,500 (about $3700 USD, plus shipping) this E39-generation 520i Touring painted in BMW Individual Atlantis Blue Metallic and paired with the frankly wild Boa Boa cloth interior and a timeless 5 speed manual transmission is exactly that- fun.
Market Find: BMW Individual Twilight Purple M5 competition
Will·
BMW models always seem to thrive in shades of Purple, and this M5 competition in BMW Individual Twilight Purple Metallic certainly proves the point. More vividly purple than the more common Technoviolet, Twilight has a similar ability to capture the light and really pop.
EU Market Find: 1997 BMW 750i with BMW Individual Blue Leather
Will·
Want luxury? The BMW Individual Blue interior on this E38 has no shortage of it, from the Lay-Z-Boy style front buckets, to the center console mounted telephone, and the certainly very out of date Navigation/Cassette player combo. Love internal combustion? Great- twelve cylinders mean fuel will combust internally quite often.

Market Find: Green-on-Green E39 BMW 525i Wagon on Cars and Bids
From the discount tailored rack comes this well preserved and rare specification BMW 525i Touring we found listed over on Cars and Bids. Whether or not you count it as truly tailored is up to you. The exterior color of Slate Green was a standard offering on the E39. And, though we haven't yet found it in period catalogues, the interior specification of Stone Green and Black doesn't appear to be listed as special order on the attached Monroney window sticker.
Market Find: BMW Individual Speed Yellow M3 Competition
Will·
While historically Speed Yellow is a Porsche color, as we've proven before Stuttgart's finest hues tend to translate incredibly well to other German brand models. Shown here on an F80-generation M3 Competition with all the right boxes ticked- Carbon roof, Cloth seats, 6 Speed manual- and fairly low mileage, it's a compelling package.
Market Find: Stateside E30 BMW Individual Daytona Violet 316 Touring
Given the E30 BMW 3-Series was never sold as a station wagon (a.k.a. Touring in BMW speak) in the United States, nor did it sell the 1.6-liter 316 version, this car would likely qualify for one of our European Market Watch finds... except it's already present in the U.S.A. according to Facebook Marketplace for Woodstock, Georgia.
EU Market Find: BMW Individual Velvet Blue Metallic 528i
Will·
Europe in the 90's, man. What a strange time. The kind of time, in fact, where a well-to-do professional would put down real money for a brand new 528i, opt for BMW Individual Velvet Blue Metallic (great!), and also check the box for whatever this two-tone blue and beige, umm, statement piece is.
BMW Individual Aubergine on Purple E39 540i Appears on Marketplace
We’re fond of tone on tone cars, wearing the same color on the inside as they do on the outside. White on white was popular in the 80s, blue on blue isn’t that uncommon, F40s were red on red, and green on green happens. Purple on purple though, that’s almost never seen… and yet here one is in the form of a 1997 BMW 540i that is purple inside and out.
Market Find: BMW Individual Signal Green M3 Sedan
Will·
Are F80-generation M3's finally starting to get... cheap? This Signal Green example has a few headwinds- 4 previous owners, 2 accidents reported (claimed), DCT, high miles, secondary cat deletes- but has even more tailwinds in the form of Euro bumpers, GTS model reprogramming for steering, transmission and differential, and upgraded cooling by CSF among others.
