Getting close to pulling the trigger on an M40i order but can't decide on exterior colour to go with the Oyster - Phytonic or Carbon Black.......
Dealer has a fully loaded stock M40i in Sapphire Black with Ivory White merino, but is pre LCI and has the digital cockpit rather then the new live cockpit. Not sure about either the leather or the paint, in terms of dirty sticky granddaughters and swirls/holograms respectively. Anyone care to offer thoughts/recommendations etc?? |

The newest model is not really the LCI, but it's as much of an LCI Lite as I've ever seen BMW do. It's much more than Live Cockpit Pro. And although it's impossible to keep up with the latest and greatest, I would never start off behind.
In terms of a new build, I think Phytonic looks spectacular on the X3/4.

Got an update last night and told completion will be 11/12/19. I am also Flemenco Red. I wonder do they paint all the same color one after the other, as this color is not seen very often as it is not available on the X3's? |

I've been in the Spartanburg factory - the cars are not batched by paint color, sometimes only one car comes down the line in one color and the next car is a different color.

As the UK offers with 2.9% APR and around 19% discount/dealer contribution only apply to cars registered before 31.12.19 and the support and low finance rates disappear in January, ordering to my preferred spec wasn't an option. Just as well, because I've now managed to get one from the dealer network that's not to a spec I might have originally chosen, but is actually a better combo I think; X3 M40i in Sophisto Grey Xirallic Black Vernasca leather M Sport + with adaptive suspension, extended gloss shadowline & SPG Tech Pack with HK & HUD Live Cockpit Professional 21" 718M wheels Hopefully should be able to pick up within a week or so, and will post pics when it arrives.

That’s on basic spec which you won’t get, so in reality the £479 isn’t achievable. I’ve ended up with a car that has M Sport + and Tech packs with £0 in and £550 pm. Discount is £10.5k on list. Good luck. I know Vardy still have at least 2 stock M40i’s with a similar spec and AyrshireColin picked up a similar deal from Fairbairn in Irvine, so there are still some cars out there. John Clark are usually quite competitive. |

Well, I finally picked up my cognac + brushed aluminum trim M40i yesterday, and I am in love with the combo! Works very nicely in person. Here are some pics:

Getting ready to place an order. This is a build code link; I know I have to review everything line by line once I actually get into the dealer. So just using the configurator for now (and need to tweak a few things on the actual order).
Dealer says 6 to 8 weeks to delivery from the time we place the order. We will see. https://www.bmwusa.com/build-your-ow...3u22if/summary |

Hmm I would say yes, that is what it looks like on an overcast day. I just snapped the pics quickly with my iPhone 11. No filter or anything. It does look pretty different depending on the light, like other brown leather colors. I would say cognac has more “orange” than the saddle brown on my E90. I have no complaints about the tone, it looks great. Definitely appreciate the X3 not getting the full cognac lower dash like the 3-series.

Looks great! Congrats! That's my first choice but however my dealer says they only have the Phytonic/black or Sophisto/cognac available. Decisions.. sigh
