If it had been completely up to my wife I'd have got MG! It seems that every other F30 I see on the roads here is white, although MG makes up a lot of the rest of them.

Moonstone was an additional £845 here so a bargain by comparison

Moonstone or mineral white if that had been an option had been preferred.
But grey cars have the majority here, ain`t many white ones.

So for the record, everything becomes a "real bargain" when you get one-time-fee and VAT on the extras as well

In that case, AW all the way. I always like to buck the trend hence my history of a Tanzanite car and Moonstone now. If grey is in the majority, avoid it! White shows the lines nicely too so I don't think you'll regret it.

That one time fee must really hit hard. We pay VAT here (although only 20% against your 25%?) which really bumps things up.

On the bright side, they're beautiful cars and a good negotiated discount always helps

The pictures might not do justice to the color, but the interior shots look awesome. I love it! I also dig the wheels as well! Congrats on the nice ride

RJBerry, I'm just curious . . . your previous Tanzanite Blue F30 had the cashmere and black individual interior, which to me seemed to be the most attractive individual leather combination available by far, but now you switched to the black with white trim. Was the cashmere color difficult to keep clean, or did you just want a change?

I am asking because I'm having a tough time choosing between these two individual interiors for my car. I usually would choose the black leather, but I am just not a fan of the light contrast stitching and trim on black. I wish BMW offered an all-black option for the trim.

The cashmere wasn't a problem to keep clean really, I did have the leather protected though from the outset. After that it was just a quick wipe over with a leather cleaner every month as part of the general car cleaning routine.

This time, I was persuaded by Mrs B that a change would be good and so I ordered Moonstone. This then meant a darker interior was needed so I went with the black instead.

I would say a lot of the interior colour choice would come down to the exterior colour but that's probably just me. I like the contrast between the two hence the dark Tanzanite with the light Cashmere and now the light Moonstone with the dark black. Which exterior colour are you going with?

The white piping on the black leather isn't too bad when you see it in person. It adds a bit extra that a wholly black seat may just lack

I may well have picked this colour if it had been available on the 435i when I ordered it

Pictures don't really do it justice. In the metal it is truly breathtaking!

One of my favourite BMW colours love it, looks great with oyster colour interior too. Very rare colour, understated but amazing.
