If your torn between Brooklyn and BSM meet in the middle and go Dravit Grey Metallic. The metallic flake in the paint is incredible in the sun. Out of the sun it a dark grey. When the car is in the sun its closer to a darker nardo. I opted for the interior & exterior carbon package, and the carbon buckets. Nothing beats factory carbon. I did not opt for the parking or exec package as I did not want the car delayed anymore than it was already going to be.

based on the configurator, driving assist prof adds the radar sensor and parking assist (when it was still on the configurator) added the front nose camera. I opted out of both when I put my order in.

I think you can add parking assist without driving assistant though.

You can. I might've worded it unclearly, but parking assist was what added the center camera based on the configurator. driving assist added the radar sensor at the lower driver side of the grille.

Ah gotcha! I was confused and thought you meant the radar sensor, my bad. I don't really pay attention to that little camera. Regardless I won't have it

I have BG, and I get lots of compliments on it, but I saw the DG when I was picking up my car and had some regret, I will confess. It's quite striking. Kudos on full cow for the interior as well. I had ventilated seats on a previous car (750i) and found them to be fairly useless.

Just curious, among all the interesting gray colors, how did you come to land on Brooklyn Gray? I like a lot of the grays, so I get it that it would be hard to choose between all of them and black as well.
You can never go wrong with black, as long as you're going to spend the time to take care of that paint job. |

TBH....I was torn between BG and DG but I don't like the way DG looks in sunlight...almost makes the car look green/gold. I really like nardo grey and felt like BG was the closest to it. SG was too dark for my liking.
Just ordered today in BSM and Tartufo extended leather. |

If this is an xDrive, consider MDrive Professional, which gives you 10 stage traction control in 2WD mode. I got park assist and think it is great. Don't notice the dot on skyscraper grey and should pay for itself with avoided curb rash. I was on the fence on ventilated seats. I got standard M sport seats without ventilation. Most people opt for ventilated with standard seats, but I'm not in a super hot climate and wanted more cushion / less stuff to break over time. I'm happy with my choice but would have done less second guessing if I could have experienced both at the dealer when ordering.
Carbon fiber interior trim also gives you cool shift paddles. |
