When placing order for a new M3/M4, make sure they list the option codes on the order sheet, otherwise, you might not get what you've been asking for.

Were I going for a Sakhir Orange, Silverstone or Sonoma Beige interior on the other hand then I think it would be worth spec'ing - See below:
Full explanation from BMW regarding interior colours and stitching:
"Both the LKSW Extended Black (standard) and X3SW Full Black (optional) leather upholsteries have the light Grey contrast stitching as standard.
This contrast stitching does not occur on the other three colours (Sakhir Orange, Silverstone or Sonoma Beige) because those colours come with double-colour leather panelling. As per the example below, the Sakhir Orange leather on the left brings a greater panel contrast than the Black on the right, which of course doesn’t. Because of this, the Black leather comes with the contrast stitching instead.

The confusion regarding additional contrast stitching on Sakhir Orange, etc is due to the fact that the Sakhir Orange, Silverstone or Sonoma Beige colours also bring with them a few lines of contrast stitching on the lower part of the dashboard.

Finally, from 2015 (though still to be confirmed) BMW will offer via "Individual" either Extended or Full Black leather with a choice of four contrast stitching colours: Sakhir Orange, Silverstone, Yellow or Blue:
