I think you still can order those colors through BMW Individual.

However it wouldn't make sense for mainstream sales since newer paints are better in many regards. E.g you didn't have Xirallic pigments back then. I compared Monte Carlo Blue and Estoril Blue last year and while similar, Monte Carlo has a nice sparkle to it and is more dynamic to light conditions.

But this Henna Red is very nice.
