Is that the heated steering wheel?
My 2012 is only 2 years and 4 months old but yours is making me think about a trade in. Very Nice!

Congrats! Mine finishes production on Friday! Same as yours, but with the mocha interior.

Did you get a good deal on the tire warranty and extended warranty? Debating what to do about those myself upon delivery.

I think it was a decent deal. I'm not sure if there is too much bargaining to be had. For the wheel/tire warranty, I think I pad about $1500 for 5 years. I live downtown in a city with pretty poor roads and lots of potholes. If for examples I break one rim and tire combo I basically make money. I think it is a must for the 20" wheels as individually they cost ~$1200 + $500 for a tire. They had one guy at the dealership that got the warranty and has gotten 25 wheel/tire replacements for free. Let me know if you want more info.

Thank you guys for the kind comments. I can say that the saddle brown interior looks pretty different from the online BMW "build your own." However, at least with the carbon black, it may be my favorite part of the car.

I've ordered Saddle for my 35D,I've not seen it in the flesh except for a swatch. Most photos make it a little orange but the swatch was a mid-brown. Is that how you find it?

I agree that all the swatches and online generated photos have it a mid-brown, but that it is lighter, perhaps almost "baseball mitt" brown/orange. My picture above is probably the most realistic color I can convey. If it is any consolation, it is probably my favorite part of the car and I like it more than I thought I would.

The wheels look great too!

As I have a black/oyster X3 currently I've gone for a change which is Space Grey (most are black around here) / Saddle with Light Fine Line Wood. I hope it all goes together....

Where do you live that the price for the wheel and tire was $1500? And what warranty company is it? Any deductible? Also if you don't mine which extended warranty did you go with and how much does that cost?
And forgot to say. Congrats! Car looks amazing. I have a 14carbon black and I love mine.

Are those staggered summer performance tires or same size all-season?

Yep, I did get the cold weather package that includes heated steering wheels. I said I didn't get the driver assistance plus package, which you can't when you get the cold weather package.

Baltimore. It's through BMW, no insurance company. I went with the service extended warranty which was roughly $2000.

Forgot to mention, they are performance tires.
