Are we all holding our breath waiting for the possible July announcement of new color choices for the M340i, or can I order an individual interior color if I place the order now?

I'm also waiting for a red interior option. I was put in touch with a "VIP Ordering Specialist" and she told me "In order for me to research any special orders, the Development Team is now requiring I submit a production number to associate it with."
I've never ordered a BMW before. So I have to order the car and then find out if I can get get the paint and interior I want? That seems odd. Could someone please explain who has more knowledge on this? Thanks. |

If it's possible for the US to get that Fiona Red interior on the M340I I would absolutely love to know how!

I spoke with a sales rep today who told me it is possible, however she was not sure on the price, and also said it could take 6 to 8 months for delivery, even though my only request was the red interior change.
If anyone has experience with this process that can chime in, that would be appreciated. |

I was quoted $5k on the Fiona red interior, I decided against it, especially with the possibility it's offered as a color in the future.

I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being standard on the 4 series

I doubt very much that they will add a red interior for the 2021 year as a standard color choice for the G20. The next gen 4 series however will more than likely be offering a red interior. If you look at the X3 vs the X4, that is the model they will follow for options/colors for the 3 series and 4 series, respectively.
Its a shame because my 2012 F30 is white with coral red and it was the biggest selling point to me when purchasing the car. I get tons of compliments and I know I will regret going to brown or black if I get a G20.

BMW is on a weird trend. The X3 cant get red seats but the X4 can. X5 doesnt get red seats but X6 does. I expect 4 Series to get red seats but not the 3 series.

A while back, it was discussed that BMWNA was trying to differentiate the 3 and 4 Series, making the 4 a more up-market model. And I think we're seeing that played out with Merino leathers being available on the X4 but not the X3, and I believe soon, the 4 but not the 3. I was thinking about the 3, X3 and X4 when I purchased my vehicle a few months back. Merino was essential to me because it enriches the interior so much. I ended up with the X4 for the simple reason that it was the only model that BMWNA would sell me with the nicer interior.

I just placed my order yesterday, and I've been looking at the configurator for so long i know it by heart. At the dealership when we went to spec the car up the salesman saw hey, there is a new option beside the usual, which is M Sport plus edition. I thought it was a standard M sport pack + the Msport + option on it but no ... This "Edition" models allows you to ONLY choose BMW individual colors (only 3 where I live, Dravit grey, oxide grey and tanzanite blue), only individual trims as well. Comes with some more M performance accessories, exclusive wheel as well (no choices)... and more importantly Merino leather was an allowed option unlike on the other trim, so I could spec Fiora red for my Dravit grey.
Mind you that M sport plus edition was 6k more expensive than the standard M sport without plus package and still 3k more than the M sport plus. Anyway I ended up ticking all the options except the tow bar and added on top of that individual leather. |

And in continuation from my post... so While the car had already an allocation, production time is going to be around 5 months... These individuals order seems to bump the delivery from January to April...
