Ordering Fiona Red Interior?

Has anyone managed to order Individual options like the Fiona Red interior for their new 3 Series?

I spent some time at my local BMW dealership and was informed by my Client Advisor that if I were to order either a 330i MSport or M340i, I would be able to spec the car with Glacier Silver paint (even though it's not available on bmwusa.com) and Individual Fiona Red leather interior.

As you have stated, Glacier Silver metallic paint for the M Sport 330i is not available on BMW USA. The only colors listed are Alpine White, Black Sapphire, Mineral Grey, Mineral White, Sunset Orange, and Portimao Blue. Glacier Silver Metallic however, is available on the Sport and Luxury lines. But there is no provision for red leather on any of these models.

Before you order the 330i M Sport, be sure to find out the cost for Glacier Silver paint and the red leather interior. From what I understand, the price for custom paint colors from BMW can be around $5,000. I have no idea what the cost of custom leather will be but I would expect it to be quite expensive as well.

Thanks! I'll definitely inquire about the prices for the paint and leather!

Paint would be $5k and leather about $5k also. I am not sure if you would get a custom order at this time since the line is currently slammed making cars. I thought my Tanzanite Blue M340i would have been delayed till May but it was built and on a boat now.

A dealer in the region was stuck with a red interior BMW in otherwise fine condition for months...it would not move. If you are not leasing the vehicle, it is a consideration worth taking into account.

I have a superman combo (blue exterior red interior) and I think it looks sharp. I've also seen other superman combos out in the roads as well, so there's definitely people out there who likes it.

I have MG/Red and my Son has White/Red - and I can't tell you the number of compliments we get. That said our dashes are not red - just the seats and door cards - everything else black including roof liner. I just found this thread because I was configuring an M340 and was surprised no red interior option so I went searching

I realize that a couple different Individual Paint options are available for the G20's such as Dravit Grey and Tanzanite Blue II, but I'm curious to know if anyone has managed to order their G20's with an individual interior? Like a Fiona Red Interior for example?

At this time there will be no individual interior. Probably in the fall it will become available as they ramp up Mexico to lessen the flow on the production line in Germany.

Will definitely become available soon if you order Merino Individual leather, at least in Europe. Also the M340i shown in Geneva was sporting it.

Yes on the Geneva motorshow they showed it. But unfortunately even my dealer don't know if they will deliver it soon or at all in Europe.
It's very sad though. I have an F30 with coral red and spahire black and i really adore this coloue combo. It looks even better in the G20 with the 2-tone color

The Individual merino leathers will be available from July production for the European market (per the recent BMW Global press release). Many of us are waiting for the related BMW North America release to know whether they'll be offered here as well. We're expecting that release sometime around mid-June.

Frozen Gray + Red interior. I'm waiting patiently. Hoping more MPerf port installed options become available in the meantime.

FWIW - my current car is an F06 Mediterranean Blue/Vermillion Red Nappa which I got on a unicorn lease. Love the red interior, would get it again if I could.

I see that the X3 had announced 6-7 months ago Fiona red was coming soon too. It's May and still no Fiona red for the X3 I see, hopefully this won't be the case with the G20 :

We are going to test the M340 tomorrow. I'm sure we will like it. Then it's X3 M40 or that, but I'm thinking we will side with the M340. I would LOVE Fiona red. My lease is up 6/30, we could hold off but with no guarantees I don't think we'd wait

Yeah it’s weird waiting on the either the Fiona or Tartufo option for the M340 and X3 M40. It appears that the X4 M40 only has this option in the U.S but the X4 kind of looks ugly.
