Black w/dk burl walnut. I'd have gone saddle if it were offered, by far my favorite BMW leather color.

I don't think it will be a problem but if it is...I can always change it!

Ordered EBII with black interior and brushed aluminum/black trim. Coming from a black interior I was interested in something different as it is so common. But EBII is certainly on the "flashier" side of things (especially coming from a white car) and for me I personally think it looks best with a plain black interior. Like wearing a loud tie - better keep keep the suit a solid color. My blue m sport brakes will also up the exterior flash so wanted to keep the interior minimalist. To each his own though, I don't think there is a wrong answer it's whatever makes you happy. The next owner of your car will just have to live with it.

I'm not ordering an EBII F31 until winter/spring. I'm holding out hope that by then a dealer will know how to put through an order for EBII and saddle brown.

10 years ago, I managed to order a steel blue E46 touring with Natural Brown, even when it wasn't a color combination that was offered in the US. It just took a little persistence.

Something great to hope for- I'm hoping I can get EBII with saddle or oyster, but I fear the BMW of today is far less a la carte friendly than the one of 10 years ago.

For one thing- all the saddle brown seats are non-sport, coming that way from an offsite production with US spec safety bits pre-installed, meaning there is no sport seat made with saddle with the us safety parts- it's been streamlined out- we'd be asking BMW's seat maker to halt production and inject something else. a tall order, but worth trying.

Very true, but there is no excuse for them not allowing Everest Grey for those who would like a two tone interior.

I agree, think I mentioned it above as well. though I'd like those, I just don't understand the lack of the grey with the M-sport. Grey/black is a very traditional sporty interior for euro cars.

fingers crossed it will look sexy

When did you place your order? BMWNA currently isn't allowing Estoril Blue Ex/ Coral Red int with Estoril Blue finisher...
It's a conflicting option...
Did your order go through?

[julianman]

i did the black with aluminium, i love the grey leather, just they dont offer it in 13.

So my last three cars have been pretty plane-jane.

2004 325i Black on beige
2007 328i Monaco Blue (practically black) on beige
2010 328i Black on beige


So I'm finally ready to do something bold and get the Superman combo as I love the Estoril Blue and love the Coral Red leather. Do I love them together or am I just convincing myself?

Contacted the dealers yesterday and found out that because this is an "unusual" color combination, I would have to put down a $5,000 cash deposit. Now I'm seriously questioning my choice and trying to decide if I like the Estoril Blue more than the Coral Red or vice-versa.

I'm starting to lean towards absolutely wanting the Estoril Blue which leaves me with black or beige leather. I live in the Denver area where the sun is intense and black leather gets super hot so I guess I'm back to yet another beige interior.

Oh well. It still looks amazing.

$5k deposit? go to another dealer.

I would have been laughing the whole way out the front doors.

He must have seen you coming.
Go to another dealer, that combo is common.

Thanks for the feedback.

It is a smaller dealer on the north side of town. The other dealer I'm planning on working with is on the south side, is one of the Centers of Excellence, and is huge. I'm guessing they won't have any trepidation in ordering this car.

[Fugly M3]

they shouldn't and better not. I am heavily leaning toward this combo for my planned ED car.

[Gift2self]

When your car arrives, pull a "Pretty Woman" and go back to that dealer to tell him he made a BIG mistake....then do a burnout as you wheel out of the lot.
