I wanted the blue and the individual open pore wood but was quoted June by BMW (instead of January with Ivory full merino and 'normal' open pore wood)
And that's irrespective of region? So in the US merino leather is not a "regular" option (i.e. you can't use the standard builder to add it), so it's at a special request.

I suppose the bigger issue is the pricing, since it's not subsidized in the 3 series for the US market as it is in other models that do offer it (i.e. 5 series)
