The one I got was:

M sport plus pack
Comfort pack
Pro Nav pack
Electric mem seats

Estoril blue and black dakota. It could have been anything and I'd have had it as it was the only car with leccy seats within 100 miles.
It was one of about three in the UK under £36,000 at the time!
I needed a car quick ish.

I'd have liked:
Innovation pack (for hud and speed limit cost efficiency mainly)
Adaptive led lights
Adaptive m sport suspension
Sunroof
Reverse cam/360

Then a silver one with red seats.


Almost all cars don't have leccy seats.
Once you limit yourself to those cars you're basically looking at 1 in 50 cars used.

435d makes more sense as leccy seats are standard so more choice used, but they cost more and still hard to find ones with more options, so it's back to a new 335d again as it's not that much more.


I'm baffled at the low take up on leccy seats, but it's the way it is, it makes buying one used with decent spec in a colour you want very very tough though.


I did spot a few high spec cars that I'd have bought and not had niggles to swap, but they went almost instantly and/or were too far away.

There's a few of us with the 4/4GC who have the coral interior including the lower dash. I like it. Check this thread for several pics:

Ah looks good. I'd have to see coral in the skin to be absolutely sure. I'm certain I've seen it and liked it though.

I'm ok on the red lower dash, even if it's plastic, in a 4GC.


But given f30 dash is black plastic anyway and still black with dash leather, unless it's individual leather, then coral with leather dash would be how I'd spec a new one.


I'm slowly finalising the spec and then I'll make sure there is nothing missing, then do a swap cost and go from there.

Only thing I'd do that you can't option would be red calipers rather than blue.

You can option them, it's just that they're expensive - M Performance brakes with red calipers.
