Got me thinking now should I ditch the leather instrument panel and replace with individual leather upholstery?

RustyBitz · 05-19-2017, 04:37 PM

Great deal Steve! I'm in no rush to have my car yet, I'm would like the new 67 plate though. Post pictures when you have it

Whereas I think the leather dash makes the interior. Looks platicky without and luxurious with.

Can you stretch to merino + leather dash?

Hi Moff,

I sure can! Never thought of that!

Oh I forgot to mention I could actually be of some use to this forum, I work for Amazon on the Alexa side of the business. I noticed on the new brochures BMW are talking about connecting your car to Echo etc.

If anyone has any questions etc feel free to message me, maybe I should start a separate thread?

BMW Connected will soon talk to the likes of Hive, I guesss Echo is along the same lines

That would be a much better way to spend the money, I'd still take a look at an f32/6 LCi dash before comitting to the leather dash option.

Current spec is:

Sunset Orange (MET)
Red with Black highlight upholstery (LC) Debating on this, welcome to ideas.
Individual Paino Black with Pearl Chrome finisher trim (XE7)
Active cruise control with Stop&Go function (5DF)
Digital Cockpit (6WB)
Lumbar supports, driver and front passenger (488)
Exterior mirrors – electrically folding with anti-dazzle (430)
Individual leather instrument panel finished in Nappa leather (XT1)
Seat adjustment – front, electric with driver memory (459) I might delete this as it's only me driving the car. Should I swap out for heated seats?

So red leather is still an option?!

And are you adding the shadowline pack?

Your totally right, I have seen the F32 dash on another thread this morning and it looks great with the stitch effect. I'm going to delete the leather dash and piano black trim.

On the price list it says red leather is a on the upholstery list, definitely going with the shadow line edition

teaston Coral Red looks to have been saved ATM moment on the latest sales configurator it shows a available. This goes against what was communicated, nothing new there

I'm going to swap the piano black trim and leather instrument panel for the interior comfort package.

Good idea! Imo comfort pack & pro media plus pack are essentials!

Sounds superb!
Mid day heated seats on a uk beemer is almost standard expectation. Very nice in the winter.

Can't wait to see the orange. I like Valencia and Sakhir so this new colour is a welcome addition.

Thanks Chris, I can't wait to get this ordered now and keep you all up to date.
Would the Red leather seats look good in a orange car or change them to black?

Here's Valencia Orange with Coral Red, I think it looks ok:

teaston · 05-20-2017, 10:58 AM

Or Saddle Brown looks good:

NOOOOOOO!

Two totally different shades of red, 'orrible they clash way too much!
IMO go to black it will look much classier and the interior will look real high class. You want the exterior colour to 'pop' and be the 'wow' factor then when you open the door you reveal a really classy looking cabin.

Yeah I was thinking that. Did someone not say recently that Coral Red was discontinued? I guess not as you have it on order.

Pick what you like that. I'd have an orange exterior and the black or blue interior. Not 100% sure on the blue, again I think I read that was a new option.

RustyBitz · 05-20-2017, 12:33 PM

I'm going to go with the black interior
