BMW, a company that knows performance and luxury all under one brand. Notorious for their powerful engines, state of the art chassis and suspension, high-class interior, and overall driving experience, not a lot actually know the process that each component goes through prior to delivery of the cars. The process is consistent until the car gets a specific paint called Pure Metal Silver.

The BMW Individual Pure Metal Silver is so exclusive that the car needs to be pulled out of the normal manufacturing process to fine tune the car’s paint process. The chrome-like finish and extraordinary brilliance that BMW describes the color as is also about 40-times more expensive than the rest of the 230 paint options they offer. It contains hundreds of thousands of extremely thin aluminum flakes, which is what makes the paint gleam that solid color.

The process for this paint is highly extensive. It is even hand inspected for imperfections during the process, and it’s no wonder that the paint is the most expensive. Careful attention is paid even to the direction of how it’s painted or else it won’t have an even coating and it will be ruined.

You would think that a $10,000 paint job would get you a color that no one has ever seen, like a luminescent purple of some sort. Well, everyone has seen silver, but not quite like this one that gleams like chrome in BMW’s Pure Metal Silver. It certainly qualifies as BMW’s most exclusive paint color.
