Build problem....thoughts

[Argyll Andy]

not many customers have the vision”...! What a load of cobblers....! Upstairs in the powder room they’ll be calling me all sorts of cute names, m

I’m hoping your response contained something along the lines of him having double vision if you don’t like it

Of course they are, Charming, Courageous to name a few

When I was picking my colours the salesman told me that in the dealership they call Misano Blue with Cognac interiors "superman's underpants".....I guess they tell the customers who choose it that it is a "bold choice" and that the customer had "vision"

Oops...

I apologise, it was the red interior he was referring to not the cognac..... sorry!!

You have not signed anything. Their attitude is poor and I would suggest moving forward your relationship with them is sour. I would demand my £1K back and start again with another dealership. As you have said you are not in a rush for the car then I would do some leg work and see the various colour combinations in the flesh before you make your final decision.

I think this is a case of needing to speak to the right person. Sort of like that recent thread on PistonHeads were a chap spent 6 figures on a RR Ghost, only for it to turn out to be clocked. The dealership wouldn't budge, but RR corporate would and bent over backwards to sort it.

A different case, yes, but the same applies. Speak to BMW UK and outline the issue. Putting an order through for a client isn't difficult, and the dealer still managed to f**k it up by not providing you the final date. How were you supposed to know? You don't have an open line of comms with the factory, so how would you know time was up to change the build sheet.

Their problem, speak to corporate and get it sorted. Good luck

As an aside there is currently a black one on Autotrader UK with the Congac interior and it does indeed look very smart. If it had the cerium grey trim instead of black it would have been spot on.

My own preference is for a black interior but if I couldn't get one then the Congac would be very close behind it. I find the red too bright as I'd like it more like an ox blood burgundy and white is just a hard no from someone who wears jeans all the time and intends to daily drive it.

That's a relief...the red is far too orange which is disappointing as the coral in my previous E89 was lovely.

Kansas red in the E89 millview..... I’m being silly pedantic.....

Have you seen the Magma red in the flesh..? It’s pretty good actually, not perfect by any means but a change from black and not as middle aged as Cognac.

I think Kansas may be the type of leather not a colour

Yep, Kansas red was the name, they never did a Kansas Coral.

I think the black with cognac is the one of the best combinations, especially on the M40i, sure you’ll love it when you see it
