Talk about color choices... WTF BMW... I'm glad they have a "white" color for the interior thou... Hope that makes it to the US.

I just wish that they make these in 6MT in the US. =(

Well this would be done for me if the manual was available. I love this car but they offer the manual in the coupe and should not have to certify the manual in the Gran Coupe but I could be wrong. Regardless I will be getting an S4 as it blows away a 435i (response, acceleration, G pad, handling, braking, etc and cost less. BMW NA wants enthusiast to go away...and I am

OT - a friend of mine and I test drove it along with the 335xi. Hands down the S4 was the more engaging car (and that pop of the exhaust between gear changes was the icing on the cake). However the technology inside was very dated and thus he is in a 335xi now.

The pop was a nice touch indeed, but when i drove it it just felt like i was driving a really loud honda with extra horsepowers...

I don't know why but moonstone just shoals to me. Like someone already mentioned the colour choice on the 4 is limited & can see there will be a lot of blue 4s around so think this colour will be a bit unique

After long debates, discussions, spreadsheets and what not I think I also settled on moonstone for my new F36 - company car hence the diesel limitation

My GC Configuration in Moondstone

FYI, during my spasmodic research for this car I found that the configurator is available in the following EU countries:

- Germany
- France
- UK
- Belgium
- The Netherlands
- Spain

The latter being available since 1st week of april. I finally managed to order mine last week

My 420d GC

The dealer told me it should arrive first week of July. Let's see, although I'm skeptical: 2 weeks before I ordered mine here in Spain, I contacted BMW Direct Sales and they told me that the delivery was expected for August!

congrats! great choices. actually i'm also at the stage of deciding to order a 4GC.
so i'm curious how this car looks in real in alpine white with the wheels you choose.
i will really appreciate if you can post some photos when the car will arrive.

If you want, for the time being I have pics of an almost identical F32 420d I tried (i.e. alpineweiss with M package and those alloy wheels).

However, I still have to see a 4GC in person, so I really hope I made the right choice

Really odd, but it appears to be available on the 428 but not the 435. I hope that changes when it comes to the US. It appears to be available on the price guide.

Cheers, I hadn't noticed there were differences between models, perhaps it's an issue with the configurator

I'll have another look...
