I will have to reorder my car as mine is enroute without the MFSW I ordered. So I am rethinking all the options. I'm interested in the Beige leather but the only photos I've seen are flash pics which wash out the color. Has anyone seen naturally lit pics, or seen a car and can offer any opinions? I had a Z3 with Impala Brown interior, which I loved, but the BMW beige is too light in my opinion.
Also rethinking the checkered silver dash trim. I may switch to black or wood. What do you think.

 

OK I feel your pain, but could you please give the color spec on your original order.!!!

 

Thats a bummer m3someday.....Hopefully things will go alot better with your re-order. I heard that they were not going to retro fit any of the cars that were built without MFSW.

 

Origional spec was Chile Red/White with Black leather interior. Standard (checkered?) dash trim.

 

For what it's worth....
I saw the Tuscan beige last Saturday when we just "happened by" to check out the 07's before the official press launch.... I think they had it on one of the Sparkling Silver.... anyway, I was a bit startled by the lightness of the beige.... (and the orange leather is just horrid....IMHO.. don't go there)...... With CR/W... I'd stick with the black leather....... I thought the checkered dash was pretty nice.... subtle is the word.....

 

Wouldn't think of going anywhere YOU didn't go FIRST.

 

now you have ordered how will you keep it clean its so light it will be mission impossible man

 

Hey Harpo. How do you think it would look wrapped inside a Lightning Blue exterior, a white roof and stripes, and a sunroof (with tinted windows)?

Um... no reason, just wondering.

 

Thanks Harpo. Think I'll stay with the black leather, but maybe switch the dash to wood.

 

These are from MINI2... have you already seen these?







I was going to get the Cream White CL until I saw these pics. There is no way those white arm rests are going to stay clean and unstained!

 

Maybe it's just the lighting, but in the second picture the front seats don't seem to match the dash. The rear seats (in the 3rd pic) do, however... The off-white "pull" on the door seems off to me, though - not sure I like that.

 

Yea, i'm kinda wondering about that aa well. Most of the photos I've seen look more like #1 and #3, so maybe it's a matter of the color balance being off in that 2nd photo?

 

I believe the color in the second pic was due to the light from the sunroof and just the angle of the pic. The first and third are most likely more accurate.

 

So I'm getting a Lightning Blue, white roof, white stripes, anthracite headliner, sunroof. I live in Florida. I do plan to get some window tinting. I've been very much in favor of the Tuscan seats since they are the lightest and that will make for a cooler (and bigger-feeling) interior.

However, now that I hear the lounge leather is so much nicer... I dunno. Black seems like a poor choice for me, and I don't have any idea of how the quality of the Tuscan compares to the black lounge. (With a blue car, the redwood is not an allowable option.)

Anyone care to share their thoughts on the matter? I'm torn. My car's specs are pretty well locked down aside from the interior color and the suspension.
