Thanks Skyking! There’s another thread that discusses a screen protector. We’ll see if I keep it on after I try to get the bubbles out

yes +1

Downside is there will be dust after 10 seconds you clean with microfiber..lol

By the way, I'm also going with the same Dark Gloss. My GM is checking the dark bronze accent in the dealer network.

Apparently, there is an NA BMW conference this week in Hawaii, and he just sent me a text saying a lot of fun news is dropping in May and June. April is new X3 in Las Vegas. Will talk to him tomorrow to find out what other LCI and new builds coming.

That Dark High Gloss with Bronze Accent is conflict with something eventhough price is $0 per the inspect code.

Trim Option is XEF. Not in the ordering guide. Other Trim Option e.g. 43L, 43N, 43K exist in the ordering guide.

Escalated to Germany right now thru my GM. let's see.

I wanted bronze and it was only available with the light open pore wood. I mean, yes, the brownish cast of bronze looks better with a brown toned wood, but they should let people make their own design choices.

Correct, the bronze accent looks better based on a few pictures I saw.

Is there a black oak option, open pore or glossy without any bronze accents? I had a glossy black oak trim on my F30 an it was really nice, but only had that car a couple years. I have silver rhombical in my G30 and really like it but would like to go back to something that reflects less sunlight.


Edit: I just checked and it’s Ash wood with metal inlay and pearl accent. Other than the carbon fiber look leather trim on my E90 M3 it’s my favorite interior trim. Yeah, from a 3 series. Go figure.

I have the dark oak gloss. It does have a reflection, but I really like it.

Status 112/150 should be quick.

The only wait time is shipping. Should be ~2 months.

And yes, I have contacts..lol
