Very jealous...that’s the config I’ve been eyeballing...well done and enjoy!
Well Frozen Gray first but...what kind of maintenance is required on it? Saw a blurb or two but nothing concrete from BMW that I recall. |

SF Red with Cognac is a close second. I am unsure about the Cerion Grey caps and grill and inserts. If I hate it I will swap them out for black. Too bad in the U.S. we cannot option the M40i all blacked out.

Be pretty cool if you could log onto the plant's build activity...they could have a VR banner above the car they're working on: "German1967's build" or whatever...
The F.E. Frozen Orange would've been sweet choice, too. Was that a Euro only offer? |

I don't think any First Edition cars made it to the U.S. but I don't know for sure.

I think they work on a ‘my car is born’ feature (may not recall the name correctly) for the Connected app or My Garage on the web site that does something like that (showing pics and clips from when it’s being built).

I would keep the Cerium Grey grill and mirror caps. The black grill is shiny plastic and looks cheap IMO. However, if you really must have a black grill then the San Francisco red is the best colour to match it. |

I know colors aren't always accurate on autotrader but they show, nationwide, 395 2019 Z4's with on 3% (12) being "orange" interior and not one of those has red exterior...

The orange interior is Magma Red which has an orangue hue. Won't go well with Red Exterior.

Yeah I get it...I've seen it...it goes great w/ Red. So question still stands... why none of this combo out of the gate within the continental US!?

My guess is that most Reds are ordered with either white or black seats as the most popular combination.The Cognac I saw went with either Misano or White cars.

Man, I remember the feeling. Sorta like being a kid counting down the days to Christmas, only to be told that Christmas had been moved to an unspecified date in the future.
You'll be in before you know it though |

The Cerion Grey nonsense on the black car was a deal breaker for me. My fall back plan was to get them painted, but after some creative nudging, I believe that I found a solution. I'll confirm in the morning, but i should be able to provide the part numbers for the black grills and the black things on the outer edges of the bumper.

Maybe you could swap with someone on the forum. There will always been different tastes that want a new look! |
