Pick a colour - M340i LCI

Some Friday fun. If you have an M340 LCI (Saloon or Touring) on order (or just want to play), what colour would you go for?

Currentley have Dravit Grey and wouldn't spec' it again.
Whilst it looks great when clean I find it shows every mark and requires a lot of effort to keep it smart.

Kindest regards
Carl.

I have Tanzanite Blue and in truth feel a bit the same about that; it also looks great when it's clean but equally it shows every mark and, even with a good quality ceramic coating applied from new, it's picked up a few blemishes despite my best efforts to keep it looking nice.

If I was choosing again now I might be tempted to give Melbourne Red a go although I'd actually much prefer the Aventurine Red offered on the M440i/440d - shame that option's not available on the 3-series equivalents!

Can you not add it through the individualiser? Though you’d probably be paying £2.5k instead of £1.1k

I'm sure you can but I suspect your £2.5k is probably the least you'd have to pay and - for me at least - that's getting too expensive. The £1.1k charged on the 4-series - or on the 3-series to get something like Tanzanite - is about as far as I'd go to get a different colour option!

I have it and I love it. It does seem to require the occasional machine polish when it starts to look dull but I do it myself and it doesn't take long
