On the M235, it just looked dull, old and boring .. This car is meant to be fun and I think it will look better in a brighter more fun color.

I think I'm switching to Estoril Blue and I just want to know if that will work with Tera or clash?
I'm not into black interiors ...

Also, the top of the dash is not soft like others have indicated, rather it's a very hard plastic, much worse than the E90 or even my MK6 GTI

Otherwise car looks great in the flesh. I really hate car sales men who are not car enthusiasts.
The guy who was showing me the car started by saying "why not a 4 instead?" I think the 2er will continue to be a niche product especially if the sales people continue to push" customers into the 4er
I am surprised by your comment on the dash - it is certainly better than my E82 - the guy waiting to get it to the M235 after me at the Chicago show even asked me why I was touching every panel and taking notes.

But I seriously thought it felt nice...difference of opinion I suppose !
