glad to see BMW expanding its color choices (not going all silver, black,white, like Audi, Mercedes and BMW 5/7 series).

This color is just too baby/powder blue for me, mostly seen driven by older people (60+) or for some reason men in SUVs around me. Also popular in other sports cars like the Volvo S60 R and Mustang.

EBII was a little more unique (being an owner of one I am biased though) and probably the lightest blue I would personally go with. I think it will be cool to see one of these on the road but couldn't see owning it for 3+ years.

Glad to see there will be a yellow but will probably pass on that as well. I do wish they had a blue more like Monte Carlo, EBII, or LeMans (otherwise how will anyone do a superman combo ), even Interlagoos. And a true red is needed in this lineup.

My biggest dissapointment is in the seat colors, I was really hoping for two tone or contrast stitching/piping on the seats, I understand not offering that in the 5+ series M cars, but 3/4 is supposed to be more sporting, Audi does a great job with their combos and contrast stitching. Or is BMW holding back on that for the facelift?
