I believe they have a separate paint booth where the individual/special colors are mixed/painted. The cost reflects whether it is a color on hand, or if they have to create one for you. Not sure if it's still robots painting or if they do it by hand.

The BMW website says it is either of two cities where individual colors are applied. It is not at the assembly factory.
