X3MC: Donnington over Yuengling vs BSM over Sakhir

So I was at one of my local dealers getting service done on my M2 and found they have two X3M Comps on the lot: Donnington over black/tan (I've been calling it Yeungling cuz black&tan) and BSM over Sakhir.

Here are some shots I took comparing the two. I flipped the image of the BSM profile shot to have it facing the same was as the DG shot. Figure it could help those that are stuck on color choices. If not, more pictures never hurt! I love DG but honestly the BSM over SO looked pretty sweet. Tough choice....

That particular sahkir interior didn't go with CF internal trim, whereas the black and beige did. I really like the CF and honestly would not get one of these new Ms without it. That would weigh in heavily on my decision as I agree the sahkir is a beautiful interior color. I'm also a fan of the donnington on the exterior as well. Donnington with sahkir and CF internal trim with mobility package FTW IMHO!

I like the sleeper status of BSM but DG over SO with CF trim is most likely the winning combo, I agree.

I'm still on the sidelines until more specs of the G80 M3 are revealed but I am considering an X3MC as a potential M2 replacement/addition down the line.

X3MC in DG with SO and CF is my number one choice as of right now. Christmas can't come fast enough lol.
