In the end you will select what you want and unfortunately, it will be the wrong decision. Still, as others have said on similar threads, if it is what you want then that is all that matters. I don't agree. :( My advice, If you are that undecided, don't buy a G29. Sorry, I shouldn't have said that, it is your choice, I briefly forgot, but it is an entertaining thread. :D

I've changed my mind, on the black car I prefer the cognac to the red as it looks more classy

I really wanted red seats, mainly because my previous z4m roadster had them. But the new red is more orange/bright.
So I opted for ivory/ white. Which are an absolute pain to keep clean. ( the dye off my jeans ).
I think in hindsight I should of stuck with red. :oops:

Or don't wear jeans :D

I never wear jeans when I drive one of the cars with lighter coloured seats. The Porsche has black seats so that does not matter.

How very dare you attempt to out-blether a fellow forumite who’s attempting a decent blethering attempt himself, shameful :P
