UK Config M-Sport
FYI guys, the UK configurator (which is vastly better than US one) now shows M-Sport! I think I'm going to order this weekend...

Good choice! Are you going for the Space Grey? I was undecided between the Silver and Grey.
Went ahead and ordered the Glacier Silver with Oyster leather in M Sport spec in the end. Ordered in March, delivery for September! Feels like a lifetime! |

Space grey with oyster leather, mind you I am slightly bias.
Personally i think if you are going for a light interior you need a dark exterior colour to contrast.

I did consider the black leather interior but combined with the dark headlining, it makes the interior far too dark. Couldn't justify the £1250 for the moon roof to lighten it. The Oyster is a good choice!

I'm going with Space Grey and Saddle 35d. I feel it's a good combo.

Obviously Clive and I have superior taste!! LOL
I liked the ivory interior as well... It's just a little tough to keep clean, long term. I also like the Space Grey because I think it shows off the lines of the M Sport better. I almost did the Carbon Black, otherwise... |

Hmmm, plenty of different paint/leather combo's getting ordered then!
Is the general rule light/dark or dark/light paint and leather combo then guys? |

I say whatever floats your boat. I like the lighter space grey only because I can see more of the m-sport pieces, as I said. I do wish they'd open up mineral white as an option. I recently saw one at a dealer and was quite impressed with it.

I've had Space Grey (with Oyster) for the last 3 years and have been very pleased with both. The grey hides dirt well and I've been surprised how clean oysters stays given that I wear jeans most of the time.
I've just ordered a new LCI this time I've gone for melbourne red/black on the basis that there won't be many reds on the road. SG and AW seem very popular in the UK.

Dark/Dark
Just ordered my first BMW and ordering a little blind with no X3's at the dealership and ordered from a broker.
But I have ordered an X-Line in Sapphire Black/Mocha Interior. Is that a combination that works? Really liked Mocha and never had a black car before.. This is the only pictures I can find (other than configurator)... http://www.easyautosales.com/new-car...114010063.html However it is a US model - anyone know what the interior trim is - is it same Copper as UK or do you get a different standard inset trim over there? |

That is super fast. My order went in March 28th, production date May 12, originally estimated to finish May 17th, and now delayed for May 19th. The initial lag obviously due to new model lag.

i was told May 16 car would end production instead of May 15, turns out everything was completed by 15th including car being release to the carrier. It moves pretty quick once car leaves "body shop"
