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.

Fiona Red interior in the U.S?

Has anyone in the U.S tried to see how much it would cost to get the extended or full Fiona red and black interior for the M340? Interest whether this is an option or not?

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'm confused because it's on the BMW individual configurer so I thought that it should be available.

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.

I believe your salesperson was guessing and if she took the time to investigate, she too would find merino leathers are not available, even for special order, on US 3 Series.

It's not just Fiona Red, it's all merino leathers that are unavailable.

I think many potential buyers in the US get confused when they see "Global" press releases and worldwide websites like the Individual configurator. Those press releases (bylined Munich) and the Individual configurator are for European and some other markets. The US market is controlled by BMWNA (with press releases bylined Woodcliff Lake, NJ). Unfortunately, many options are available in the "Global" market that are not available in the US market.

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...

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.
Just one note on Fiona Red - I had this in my m235 prior to moving into the G20. The normal wear on edges of sport seats (that's peeling in sealer speak) is really noticeable on this leather.

Not a show stopper as it is really awesome looking - just sharing some insight.
