No worries it is already built so no way to keep yours the only in NA. Love your pics in the other thread though.
I would go for it. That must be a custom order car and the buyer backed out. My understanding is that dealers will never order a car for the lot that does not have a sunroof.

My sales person tried to talk me into DCT and a sunroof. His argument was resale value but I think he was just trying to up the sale by 5k. I have other cars that have sunroofs that I never use. If you have a long commute, the DCT might be nice.
Yeah the one in the lot there had a black interior, but let alone from finding an E90 still, and one with an individual color, it was "speced" out well, and had the zip package as well. The zcp wheels look great with moonstone.

It looks nothing like titanium silver. You can tell from any angle that it shifts colors. I particularly liked it because it had both some shine to it, and a bit of that richness you get in a matte finish.

Mine isn't the only one in North America. M3post user autospiel has a Moonstone E90 M3, and a gentleman in Quebec, purchased and repaired my Moonstone 2009 E90 M3 after my insurance company wrote it off.

Seriously though, it is the nicest color I have ever owned on a car! It is subtle and classy yet after over 2 years of ownership it still shows me new shades all the time.

P.S.: As far as I know I have the only E90 M3 in the world in Moonstone with Amarone Interior!
I like having more color options available, but I don't know if I would be willing to drop $5,000 on paint. I would rather spend this money on mods.
make like nike n jus do it!
There is one in Iowa :)

IMO it's a nice color, but having not seen it in person, it doesn't jump out at me. Good luck either way, if you decide to call Ryan at Steve Thomas, you won't be disappointed, best car buying experience ever!
I know this opinion may be colored(!) because we ordered a Fire Orange E90 through Steve Thomas but considering how many 3-series cars there are in the SF Bay Area and the fact that we get so many positive comments from strangers on the street everyday, I don't regret getting a BMW Individual car at all. :D

BTW, maybe you can work out a deal with them? I believe dealer invoice on BMW Individual paint is $4550, itt's something at least and gets it under the more imposing 5k figure.
Does anyone know where the Moonstone E90 M3 that was at Steve Thomas BMW ended up?
