So I want to start by saying this forum has been a lifesaver for me - both during the build process and while I was biding my time waiting for my car to ship drooling over all your pictures. Seriously.

I normally wouldn't bother making an account and posting anything, but I feel like I owe it to some future mystery viewer who will be in the same boat I was. Also, if you have questions/want my opinion about anything, just ask.

My car arrived last week after 3 long months. Here are my specs and a couple preliminary iPhone pics I snapped at work (I'm planning on taking her out for a nice scenic drive with a real camera sometime soon). The pics are unedited... the color really varies that much depending on conditions. Love it.

2015 228i:

Deep Sea Blue Metallic exterior
Style 385 wheels
Oyster/Black interior
Fine-wood trim
Heated front seats
H/K sound
Driver Assistance pkg
Lighting pkg
Premium pkg

I love the color of the car with the Oyster Seats! I have seen that car in person in that color and I loved it. Please take pictures of the interior for us so we can see how the Oyster/Black looks in the 2015 model. I had Oyster/Black in my BMW 128i and I miss it so much. I heard the back of the seats are now matching to the oyster. I would love to see the fine-wood trim with this combination also! Gorgeous car equipped just right!

It's been great so far... been experimenting with sport+/sport/comfort settings as well as the paddle shifters. Can't wait till I'm out of the break-in period to really push it. Considering how much more fun it is to drive in sport/sport+, I'll be curious to drive through a tank of gas with each to see if MPG is all that different. If not, I know how I'll be driving it...

I'll be sure to take pictures of the interior. At first I was disappointed they didn't offer the full oyster interior in the 2015s, but I have to say I'm now completely sold on the oyster/black combo. I was also torn during my build on whether to get the brushed aluminum or wood trim - I actually called my dealer after the fact and had him change it to the wood.

Ordered 2016 same color & wheels. Thanks for the pictures. I don't see alot of that color and wheel combination around. But it looks like a great choice

I"m with you on that. If it would have been available, my Mineral Grey would have ben Deep Sea Blue. Looks great.

[SteveInfante]
