Congratulations!
(Nearly Monday; well it will be when I can be bothered to move my lazy bones from here in sunny France )

Cannot wait to join you in F10 land - last BMW I had was a 1991 735i which I purchased when it was about 18 months old; a real growler that made me drive faster in my commute to Oxford each day.....

It's Black Sapphire, and the trim is just the high gloss plastic they put in as standard.

Thanks for the quick reply. I guess it wouldn't have been so quick tomorrow!

I'v gone for the standard black wood and then thought I see it in a picture not covering all the centre Console. Ie it was part vinyl from the cup holders / flap to the arm rest. Looking at yours i'm glad that's not the case

Hi I'm in the final stages of speccing an F11. Love the colour of yours did you consider any other colours?

I considered the Black too, but ended up picking Sophisto Grey. Pick it up 1st December. Far too long a wait.

For me it came down to a choice between black or white. My previous car was white and it was a pig to keep clean, so I went for black. It is a really nice colour, but it is just as hard to keep clean as the white!

I do a lot of miles and once washed, I'm lucky if it looks clean for 24hrs!

Yeah I know what you mean, I have a white F11 520 msport at the mo, but I'm in the final stages of ordering a 535d f11 build slot is booked but I havent finalised the spec yet. Will go for the new luxury model but colour is the big one, sophisto grey is favourite at the mo but have till monday to decide! The more you look the more you get confused!!!

Yeah, so easy to pick black, I have done that a few times. Then saw the same car in a dark grey and thought D'oh. I don't think I could have picked white personally though.

My friends all think I'm mad not going for the black. I think they will all eat their words when they see the sophisto grey in the flesh. Seems quite a rare colour too. Only seen a couple in that colour. Compared to 60% being silver, 35% being black, and the remaining 5% split between the rest, lol.

Have you considered Space Grey, stays clean for much longer. Mt E60 is Space, so have specced my new F10 due in a few week with Space again. Colleague has a white F10 and has it hand washed every couple of days, so always looks perfect, but really hard to keep looking nice
