The Macan just seems fun but I haven’t driven it yet.
Back to the M340i. I like both Dravit Grey and Tanzanite Blue, both would be blacked out. Interior would be Cognac or Mocha, possibly Black with blue stitching but I’m really struggling with colors so would love to hear from any of you. Has anyone had colour transfer on the Cognac? I just saw every similar colour at the auto show turning blue from jeans... not good! In terms of the exterior I love the pics of seen of Dravit but haven’t seen it live. I normally find grey boring but I think I like it, but is it too Fast & Furious? Will I like it in 3 years? I had Carbon Black on an X3 and loved it, the tanzanite looks similar. Help!
I’m likely to lease 3 years, 20-24km/year, max msd’s. I’m seeing a lot of posts targeting 10% below msrp... anyone in Canada getting close to that? I’m also seeing 60% residual and every build I get is around 50%... is anyone aware on why there would be a 10% difference? It really makes the payment high.
I’ve been hitting up the local dealerships in Oakville but willing to go anywhere for the right deal (in Canada)
Feedback appreciated!

So a few things here:
1) It's interesting the Macan is a part of this conversation as that's an SUV.
2) I don't think the M340i comes in fast & furious colors (unless you opt for something off the individual palette like "java green" or "fire orange".
3) Dravit is an incredible color (I'm biased though
). It's subtle but also very unique and dynamic. It's not a loud color by any stretch, and to the untrained eye it's just another shade of gray. Until you see it next to an actual gray car and you realize how different it is.
4) I went with Mocha seats as I felt Cognac was a bit too loud for me. In regards to color transfer, I can't speak for cognac but my X5 has ivory seats. I've had it for nearly 5 months now and the seat still looks fine. If any color transfer does happen, it's nothing a good detail won't be able to fix.
