Thumbs down All these M235i's showing up...ALL black interiors! Uhg...

Seriously, I don't think there has been even a single photo of any M235i dealer cars with anything other than a black interior. Really need to see some photos or Red, Terra, and Oyster! Hopefully some more special order cars start arriving in the next week or so with more interesting color choices.

Well, dealers tend to be pretty conservative, thus, the black interiors. It will take the custom ordered cars to come in with non-black interiors (as you mentioned above).

I love the way they did Oyster in our X1 with the black carpets and two tone doors/dash.

+1 mine is black/black with hex and high gloss black accent. I'd switch the hex for cf trim if I could.

+1 for black/black. Anything else would bother me after the wow wears off.

Terrra/Aluminum Cube/Blue Highlight for me. Agreed, the black is just too monotonous for me. My 135 was Alpine/Boston Black/Piano Black... while cool, it was just too dark I love the way the two tone interior mixes things up.

Add me to the list of those who go for the boring black interiors. I actually do like black leather interiors. I also went for the wood trim which forced me to get oxide silver matt highlight trim.

I really like the two tone oyster/black that has been made available on other BMW's and I would have considered that had it been a option. But that's pretty much it.

+1 my order exactly

I have grey Dakota in my current 135 and it is just too light...it shows every little mark or piece of dirt.

I made a lot of mistakes with the current car (DCT, grey leather), but not to be repeated on the new car.

Blk/Blk is very dull, especially when the ceiling is also blk anthracite. Go for Terra, as red and oyster are definite no no's IMHO.

I have oyster in my e90 and the drivers seat has started to show it's age, but everything else looks great.

I think coral red suits the character of this car.

I will however say that I ordered mineral grey, and I think that may have been a mistake.

I actually think silver with black kidney grilles and black wraps on the wing mirrors will look cool.

Alpine White is cool too, just wasn't sure the the car would be masculine enough to handle white.

If it's any consolation, I'm in the same boat whether to stick w MW on Terra, or switch to AW or MG (again on Terra). I will say, definitively, however, that MG is way better than silver IMHO, and arguably is the nicest colour (neck and neck with the whites so far in the poll), so don't despair. Also, I don't think the MG has the mauve hue in sunlight like SG did, i.e., a true gunmetal steel grey if you will. Most of my family is angling that I go for MG instead of white, but I dunno. Hope your starting to feel better...
