I think that looks excellent! such a great color combo. I went with portimao blue, kyalami orange interior, black rims, red calipers. If I may ask, why not the carbon exterior package for you?

I did a similar build. Alpine White, laser lights, Fiona full interior, red calipers. But I also did regular seats due to some of the comments I've read here and the carbon fiber package instead.

Looks great. Very distinctive.

Some things to sanity check:
1. Be aware that Fiona has less alcantara on the side bolsters than say Kyalami.
2. Be sure you won't be bothered by the wire mesh on the front bumper in real life vs. having carbon fiber. I agonized over it before I asked for carbon fiber to be put in.
3. I've noticed you're not getting Driver Assistance Pro or the Parking Assistance Package. Be sure that you don't need those. Not curbing your front lip even once is worth it. 'Self-driving' is great in stop and go, and for long distances.
4. You're getting extended leather. People have done that and wished they got full after the fact because of cheap plastic vs. soft touch leather. May want to think about that.

It's a balance at the end of the day and you need to find the balance that works for you. I know myself and know that I will always be bothered by the things I didn't order, so I had almost everything ticked in my order except what I deliberately avoided: CF seats (impractical getting in and out, and I expect premature bolster wear; great when driving though), carbon ceramic brakes (less effective when cold or wet), seat ventilation (not as good as a Porsche).

i agree with everything u said, i plan on changing the front mesh with after market carbon in the future. I ended up getting Fjord blue interior and I personally cant stand bmw self driving package, it was a SERIOUS issue on my x5 and dont want to touch it with a 5ft pole. I did not do full leather because on my f80 the dash leathered creased after 9 months

Honestly, I sat in a M3 with extended leather and it did not bother me. it looked and felt great to me. I even thought it was better than the M340 interior. As far as the driving assistance packages, my car won't be a daily so I would have not gotten my monies worth.

just was not very accurate, if that makes sense. always off centered and just not a pleasant experience. My RS3 was miles ahead when it came to "self driving" and it was not suppose to be as advanced as the BMW ones.

I went similar build, but Alpine white exterior. Got the Fiona full leather interior (I think not getting full leather definitely makes it feel cheaper and I will regret it) carbon bucket seats (this is a must for driving experience), and pretty much all options except carbon exterior package. I'll go aftermarket for that for probably half the cost. Plus I don't like how it's still has so much black parts even if you do. Didn't get the carbon brakes cause I'll be tracking the car. Car scheduled for production Dec 8. It's going to be a long 3 month wait.

I'm in the exact same boat!

I can't choose which color combo I want.

I really like Isle of Man Green, but Brooklyn Grey is also so beautiful.

Quite honestly, all of the color choices are rock solid on the G80

Well, crap. Just got notice that my production date of 12/8 has been delayed. No new date provided yet. It's probably the carbon seats. I saw another post where that could be causing delays. Noooooooooooooo.
