Congrats, please provide pics as soon as you get it. Your spec is the one I'm considering the most.

So I ordered Silverstone for my BG M3C, but now leaning towards full leather and don't like the grey lower dash, so now thinking of going with black. Seems like full leather will make the cabin feel more premium, although dark with the black. I wouldn't consider without the ventilated seat option, and will need a good tint if I go with black.

Edit: Too late. Was surprised to hear from my CA that I've entered production status, so I don't have to agonize anymore over option decisions

Honestly, YMB is such a clean blue to go with BG. Someone else on this forum put it like toothpaste and orange juice. Every time I look it just jives, though.

No lol

Everyone who's seen mine so far says some variation of how "sporty" the interior is

Nice! I like it! Ordered the same myself. BTW, it's the same color as in the Rolls Royce Cullinan.

I didn't want to continuously do maintenance on it more than I would do with traditional black leather. I also wanted it to hold up to years of wear. I also thought about resell/trade-in when that time comes. Reponses I received was that Silverstone needed a lot of maintenance, didn't age well, and dirt/fabric smudges and even dust showed easily. I ended up going with black merino. When I got my car I noticed the front seats have a dark grey nubuck type leather outlining the outer parts of the seats so it's actually two-toned.
I swear the people that advise against Silverstone never had it. It's really not that bad. Currently with the Ivory seats in my X7, I 'll go a few months between deep cleans and only have to do some minor spot cleaning at the door handles and light "dusting" of mainly the darker surfaces in between.

FWIW, I actually just got my first car with black merino a few months ago (haven't had black leather in a car since 2005) and find myself cleaning it much more often than the Ivory/Midnight seats in the car I drive more often. Granted, the cleaning isn't as intense, but the black shows the oils from the back of my head, dust and other debris on the seats, etc., MUCH sooner than any lighter color.

I saw BG in the flesh for the first time today. It was in the showroom, but I must say I liked much better in person than I have so far in pics.

Question: thoughts on Fjord Blue interior with BG? Anyone spec this yet or seen actual pics of a G80/82 with Fjord Blue?

Thanks!

Yeah, seeing the slightly blue tint of BG in person makes me think the Fjord blue would really be a sharp interior choice. If anyone has a Fjord blue interior yet on a G80/82, please post pics!
