It's a very nice color combination. I think if you're willing to wipe it down often, the staining would be minimal. I just know I won't have that kind of discipline, so I had to pass on it.

By the way, they have an Avus blue with a brown/orange interior a couple of weeks back that looks really nice.

They have lots of M3s now....
If you choose the GRIGIO/Silverstone, I recommend a ceramic coating for interior!

I second this. Had my Silverstone interior ceramic coated.

I got scared away and picked up black sapphire w/ full black merino interior. a safe choice. Haven't gotten to drive the car much yet, but very much in love with it.

Karl is incredibly knowledgeable on these cars. would highly recommend him to anybody in the market.

Congrats! Picked up a set of snow tires with 640M style wheels today from a fellow member. Will be doing more driving over the winter than I was planning for due to change in work location.

Other Vancouver - Canada There's no warranty so I'm reluctant to divulge the person doing it.

Congrats on your car! I almost bought the Grigio/Silverstone but got nervous about wear on the seats as well. Ended up finding a Tanzanite/Amaro in St. Louis and bought and shipped instead but it was tough choosing between the two.

Fair enough, at least your US$ went a long way over there.

Ceramic Coating for Interior

I just picked up a used 2015 M4 with the Silverstone Interior. Where can I get the ceramic coating in the Seattle area by professionals? Or are you guys doing it yourself?

It’s actually pretty simple, but the decontamination process can be a little tedious. Also the car can’t touch any water (rain) for 24-48h while it’s curing

Congrat!

I used the professional to do my ceramic coating, but not in Seattle area.. You can check out Metropolitan Detail in Bellevue area. I also recommend you doing the interior as well.
