Oh, and it does look pretty amazing in black.  Estoril Blue was a close second for me, they had it at the dealer and I was very, very tempted.

Hey pongo,
Yes, I waited rather impatiently for 7 months to own an M-Sport. Absolutely fantastic. I've seen the M-Sport in EB (of course) black & white. Each having their own M-Sport characteristics. I chose EB as my previous car (325i E90) was black. I wanted another colour and EB for me was a no brainer, as you have seen for yourself.
Yes, I'm sure the 18s are great, but the 19s have a look all their own, adding to the muscularity & aggressive look of the car. My 19s ride beautifully @ 37psi, even having the low profile. I doubt there would be much difference in ride quality between the 18s & 19s. By the way, the M-Sport only comes with 19s in Australia. Perfect!
If you can find some very early posts in this forum, you will read how disgusted people were when they saw photos of the M-Sport steering wheel after getting used to the standard F30 wheel. My view was reversed. I thought it was and think it is the very best steering wheel in the BMW range. Brilliant looks and feel.
Welcome aboard & enjoy you car.
