Gorgeous car, although I would've liked to see the CF roof.

My question is, the show cars generally are supposed to be fully loaded, but why does this one only have extended leather rather than full merino leather?

I was looking forward to seeing the M3 in Full Merino Leather to see whether I would consider it an option for the next car, oh well, leaves it up to imagination.

I'd prefer a silver like the classic Benz silver.

Contrast Stitching again but not listed on the build sheet. Confusing.

IEDEI, that is precisely why I ordered it. I don't want attention, driving this monster around and nobody but real enthusiast realize the difference between this and a regular 3 series is a good thing.

I love this. Simple and not too flashy - always loved the E39 M5 in Silverstone.

SSII with the silver wheels look pretty good. I hope SSII with CF roof and dark wheels will look even better.

SSII is not as boring as whiteout white. Oops I mean Alpine White. At least SSII has some tonal characteristics.

maybe..i'm not a huge fan of white cars either, BUT at least it offers high contrast with the black/dark bits y'know? Silver doesn't have that kind of contrast....i think if Silverstone had MORE blue in it i might find it more interesting...

My guy tells me this is Silverstone and not Silverstone II which I think has a bit more of a blue hue to it. I have a felling that the blue will pop more in person than in pictures.
