-msport
-19" rims
-premium package
-technology package
-dynamic handling package
-driver assistance package
-Harman kardon
-auto high beams

Now it's the waiting game

So for helping with the color I get a free ride irght ^_^
 
I like the tan interior better but I didn't really think it went right with estoril blue. Now that you guys mention it I'm thinking that's a better choice.

Ive got an estoril blue f30 with black interior. I dont think I could do tan. Saw a tan and wood estoril and the dealer said it was a mistake and they regretted it and had to discount it by a lot just to move it when i was shopping over a year ago.

The red seats with blue I've seen and its different but yeah not a fan of it either. Estoril doesn't match that well with much. Anyway whateebr you get it you're ordering you are getting what you want so enjoy. too bad BMW doesnt offer the gray interior anymore (you could get the non m-sport 2013 F30s with a gray interior...). i think if i was getting a 4 series, i'd consider midnight blue with black as well (i don't know i personally hate tan interiors, my first two cars had them and they just look like puke to me) interior as well (you lose the excellent m-sport wheel though unfortunately, but it might be worth it for the color options). i've had loaner cars that had the beige leatherette and i dunno just reminds me of puke, sit in a beige one a while i guess, it doesnt work with every color, but midnight blue i think would work a lot better than estoril.


friend of mine bought a 428xi sport in midnight blue / black interior and from the pictures i've seen of her car its pretty much gorgeous. my estoril car is pretty bold looking, but midnight blue is a much more elegant look and i think a great match for non m-sport.

I like option 1. Though for my money, I really like their red interior. Don't think you can get it in blue though.

Well they're practical and better than typical light taupe or light grey. My last car had a camel interior and it was great. I'd liked the red or deep brown ones I've seen too, but they are pretty rare.
I like multi-colored interiors. Black dash, carpet and tops of the doors is good with a contrasting color for the seats, console and the rest of the doors. Schemes similar to that. Any color to me is blah if the entire interior is that color.
 
BMW only has 2 choices:
Jet black, black interior
Alpine white, cinnamon interior

Anything else looks like crap.
 
I really don't like how BMWs current beige interiors look, especially compared to Mercedes.

I think something about the BWM's overall layout makes light colors look odd, like the car is missing things. Maybe it is just too much cheap carpet exposed.

The darkers browns can look very good but you need "luxury line" for it and then you have to get the dynamic handling package to get the car back on the ground. Bit of a mess going on there.
 
I was skeptical of the aluminum trim more than anything since I test drove one with brown faux wood. Il looks great in person! it has a carbon fiber like finish. They have the oyster interior now that has black dashboard and carpet and grey seats. I still think black is better.
