They are all very nice. I'm tired of so many black/white/grey cars though. Its between red and blue for me. I have red on order, blue is closing the gap quickly though. I am not that high on the order list. Maybe my allocation will take so long that I can get more color choices or Individual. A medium/dark blue would be more my taste. Le Mans of Voodoo specifically.

BG is perfect if you find red bell peppers just a liiiitle too spicy.

I kid, I kid. All three are gorgeous and every one of us is very fortunate to even be faced with this choice. Now, let's see some cognac interiors!

I'm liking all the cars having Michelin's. Let's hope that stays true!

Agreed. However, it might have been on purpose since these vehicles are for the press gallery. If the Michelin is the superior tire, they may have ensured the test mules are equipped w/ them to maximize positive feedback. Delivered cars to customers may have Pirellis.

Maybe it's been mentioned already, but Tag, how early will these arrive at dealerships?

I see tons of dealerships here in SoCal mentioning the vehicle is in transit, but how early will they arrive for being able to take a look at them?

Thanks!

Le Mans Blue or Imola Red would be nice as well.

Edit, Add Donington Grey too.

You're not losing any black accents going with bi-color. You're only gaining visual elements. If I had a choice I would go bi-color all day long on the stock wheels.

My last 3 Ms have all been a staid neutral color on the outside (silver, white) contrasted with a warm, bright interior (Cinnamon, Fox Red, Sakhir Orange). I don't care for black interiors, especially here in Oregon where Winters can be a gray so much of the time. So I'll go Brooklyn/Cognac I think.

Bonus points for Cinnamon interior on the E46. I had that w/ exterior Silver Grey. My CA was skeptical when I specced it and the whole dealership team loved it when it arrived. My CA ended up buying it when I traded it in for my Individual Silver Grey/Terra E90 335i.

I wish we could get something sporty and loud on the G87 interior as well. I will settle for M Highlights. I like Cognac but it is too "classy" for me on this car.

Enjoy.

Well said about the "classy" part. I will be ordering mine in ZB and I prefer cognac because it's a little different. The problem is, in a vacuum, I also prefer the bicolor wheels to the black ones, but if you go ZB, cognac and bicolor, you end up with a combination more suited to a Bentley than a BMW.

Something's got to give! Don't know if that means ZB/cognac interior/black wheels or ZB/black interior/bicolor wheels, but there's plenty of time to drive my wife and friends crazy talking about it.
