Anyone with 640GC in Ruby Black?

New around here; am currently thinking of a ruby black 640GC and would like to know how it looks like. Will appreciate some pix. Thanks!

I need to get better pictures, but I have Ruby Black. It's black with red metallic flake. Plenty of pictures online of the color on various BMWs. Click on my garage link to see a couple pics.

Ruby Black on the Gran Coupe is a stunning colour! Highly recommended!

It was my original choice on my build but I swapped the ££££ for other automotive electronica that I know i couldn't pass over.

As I have said before, the stock 6 Series Gran Coupe is a dog (especially in the UK) but if you spec it right, this is a stunning motor.

Click on the garage link under my Username for the 650i GC. Or Google for "BMW Ruby Black"

Eventually settled for a Tanzanite Blue as I thought the color stood out better than Ruby Black. Can't wait for the car to be ready for collection next week!

Nice. I don't think I've seen TB in person. It looks nice in pictures. Have fun with your car and post pics when you get it!

That is very cool. Can I ask how you were finding two custom order paint colors in stock?

Thanks!

I'm located in Singapore and the dealer in fact has more than 1 individual paint colors in stock: Tanzanite Blue, Ruby Black, Citrin Black & Moonstone. After looking and comparing all of them, I eventually settled for the TB . Would have preferred a white interior to go with it but unfortunately, the ex-stock comes with black interior...

Maybe - but still to be able to get those colors without a 12 week wait
