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.
Triple Blue x Pascha for Porsche 968 Cabriolet Headed to RM’s Miami Auction
If you were to imagine a fantasy list of Porsche models to be sold by a prominent collector / collection at a headline RM Sotheby's auction, the 968 Cabriolet may not be at the top of that list.
Triple Blue Porsche 911 GT2 RS ‘Weissach’ with RM Sotheby’s in Miami
We're noting a theme amongst the cars from the Todd Blue LAPIS collection, mainly blue and sometimes triple blue (blue body, blue wheels, blue interior) with some sort of incredible fabric pattern on the seats for good measure. Such is the case with this 991-era 911 GT2 RS "Weissach Package", an incredibly unique build with a long list of special wishes touches.
Manaus Blue over Blue Sonderwunsch-Laden 911 Sport Classic Headed to RM Miami Sale
From the Todd Blue LAPIS collection comes this 2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic, #269 from a worldwide production of just 1,250. Even in that rare group though, this particular Sport Classic comes heavily laden with special details via a truly remarkable Sonderwunsch tailored focus.
Market Find: 2024 BMW Individual M4 Competition in Sepia Brown II
We're solid fans of "tone-on-tone" cars, where the exterior and the interior are coordinated as the same color, perhaps off by a degree of shade.
Market Find: Atomic Orange Ferrari SF90 Spider
Built via Ferrari's Atelier program, the SF90 Spider you see here boasts no less than $260,000 of additional options and customization over your average SF90 Spider. This includes striking Atomic Orange 2-layer paint paired with Arancio Mikonos interior. It's also got the Assetto-Fiorano package and Assetto-Fiorano-Extended package, plus additional carbon fiber everywhere.
EU Market Find: 2000 Evergreen “Clownshoe”
This particular BMW M Coupé isn't low mileage, though not hatefully high. It's not a one-off BMW Individual paint, though it is fairly rare. At the time, BMW offered Evergreen with dual-tone black and green interior. That was the late 1990s / early 2000s when such combinations were kitsch cool for those in the know. The take rate wasn't high, which made them rare. And Evergreen, we'd argue, should be due to have its day again given the uptick in pastel colors we've been seeing in paint to sample catalogues.
Market Find: 1986 White on White Ferrari Testarossa
Popping up in RM Sotheby’s Private Party sales is this very desirable 1986 Ferrari Testarossa. Granted, it’s a factory order book specification car, so why is it desirable? We’d point to two reasons.
Market Find: 2005 Ferrari Superamerica in Azzurro California Headed to Amelia Island Sale
Based on the 575 Maranello, Ferrari created a truly unique open-air version from 2005-2006 called the Superamerica. Uniquely, the Ferrari factory deployed a backwards rotating roof made from a single piece of electro chromatic glass.
Market Find: Ipanema Brown RS 6 Avant at Audi Naples
Here's an interesting turn of events. We're always interested in dealerships apparently selling a new tailored build apparently without any dealer markup as this appears to be. We're even more fans of salespeople inside the store who are motivated to snap initial photography and get the word out to enthusiasts online. Such is the case with this 2025 RS 6 performance in Audi exclusive Ipanema Brown over Cognac Brown Leather.
