Just Ordered and thanks !!

Hi All

Been a member for a couple of months and have found the forum a huge help in deciding final choice and options. Really good to hear from current owners rather than dealers - so thanks to all.

Finally went with the following
F31 - 330d M Sport

Interior / Exterior
Tanzanite Blue
Brushed Aluminium Trim
High-gloss Black interior trim finisher
Black Dakota leather

Packages
M Sport Plus package (Great advice on this one !!)
Media package - BMW Professional
Visibility package
Interior comfort package

Optional Equipment
Enhanced Bluetooth
EXt Mirrors Folding & dipping
Lumber Support (I'm getting old .....)
Seat Heating

The dealer confirmed MY2014 build with I touch - have to see how well it works in practice

One gripe - Colours and Upholstery, generally a poor choice for such a top spec car.

Standard colours White, Grey, Black, Blue , Red. Individual colours a different Black, Grey, Blue and Smokey Topaz - pretty unadventurous.

Upholstery: Beige - had this on a 335 and eventually went blue (jeans) and aged poorly - The dealer said this happens with cheap £10 jeans (the cheek!!)
Coral Red - I like , but my wife vetoed - "pimpmobile" she muttered
Black - well its black
Indiviual leathers nice - but real expensive... and I ran out of money!!

So when in Individual just not really that indiviual?

After all " We are all individuals...."

JOHNBMWM5 · 08-01-2013, 11:14 AM

Nice choices, I myself opted for the beige leather and found it fine over 8 months and 8K miles, never even cleaned it.
Car being Pxed in two weeks, it has been fast but I soon got used to the grunt and wanted more TBH. Four up and it starts to yawn.

330D F31 M Sport EBII.

You must buy higher quaity Jeans than me!! What are you replacing it with??

rjberry · 08-01-2013, 12:07 PM

Nice choice of colour

With regards to the beige leather, mine is holding up very nicely after 11 months. Maybe my jeans aren't cheap? After spending so much on the interior it's quite a relief to hear it

nice selection, love the colour. now for the long wait

ukbeemerboy · 08-04-2013, 11:51 AM

Sounds a nice spec... Bear in mind the 3 series isn't a top spec car. That's what the 6 and 7 series are!

You can always ask for a colour that is not on their list. I asked for Valencia Orange as I was less than happy with the standard and the normal individual colour choice. And that's what I got.

Nice - I like that!

You can't be in the same part of Hampshire as me... I'd have noticed that

browellm · 08-04-2013, 12:50 PM

That is a great looking colour for the F31. How much extra is that on top of the listed individual paint cost?

Phoggy · 08-04-2013, 01:32 PM

Captain.. you are a true individual....

And yes - did they charge you more for it than standard iniviual? What interior did you go for??

Of course they did. I went for the black Individual interior leather with the M Performance trim Alcantara & carbon fibre.
