435i GC on order

Coming from a 535i and 325i in the past, I finally ordered a 435i GC and am excited about it.

535i has great luxury, but I was never happy about the extra weight and size.

So I ordered

Midnight blue metallic
Saddle brown leather
Anthracite wood trim
Luxury line
M sport brakes/wheels
Navigation
Premium package
Driver assistance package
Harmon Kardon sound system

Congrats! It sounds like you'll love your 4. I didn't know you could get M brakes w/ the luxury line. I have the brakes now. Best $500 ever spent.

M Sport brakes are so beautiful, with blue calipers, beautiful wheels.

It is a great combo with Midnight blue metallic

Just my opinion, I like the chrome accents around the car rather than the blacked out one. I got the luxury line for the looks. It drives quite sporty also

Happens not infrequently. Those interiors are nice, but you end up missing having the lighter car. Sounds like you'll have a blast with your new ride!

I went full sport on mine but i do love the "luxury" look that the 4 can bring- sounds like a great config- the midnight blue with the chrome will be awesome.

Nice combination. I saw that in the showroom and it looked great together. I could have been talked into buying that same color combo by my wife except its not offered with sport seats.

That's a very classy color combo, OP. I saw one at a local dealer when I was shopping for my GC. Congrats.

It was a beauty

Congratulations OP!

And btw, I totally agree standard suspension on F Series cars feels excellent, most on here don't think it's any good.
