But, my CA told me that skyscraper was not available on m-sport pack (we both agreed that made zero sense, but in checking the 2023 order sheet that was available that is what was indicated). So I somewhat begrudgingly picked phytonic blue. I am a blue fan but given my current F30 is estoril blue I wanted a change. I also really like how all the black trim in the shadowline pack and red calipers contrast against a grey/silver car.
Well the online configurator shows skyscraper CAN be added to a 540 msport!! My ordered car has landed in Baltimore so expect it to arrive at the dealer soon. I am torn as to whether I take the phytonic or wait for a skyscraper to be built? Given limited inventory on dealer lots I never saw a phytonic with msport. I know I may see it and really like it. But there's part of me that still leans towards waiting and getting the skyscraper (although haven't seen any in person either).
Color is such a personal choice....but open to any thoughts of steering me one way or the other. It sucks I likely won't be able to see both colors in person before making a decision.

In defense of your CA, the original MY23 order guide, issued May 25th, did exclude Skyscraper Grey as an option for MSport. Seems things changed, or possibly the BMWUSA online configurator is wrong. This kind of thing happens too often with BMW.
Phytonic Blue is a nice color. If you're a fan of Blue, I suspect you'll see the car and be ready to sign the paperwork.
Skyscraper is available on other models. Maybe your dealer has one you can look at. I think it looks lighter in real life than it does in the online configurator. To me, it's a couple shades darker than silver. Check out the 2022 2 series Gran Coupe and 2023 3 series, 4 series, 8 series.... |
How far is it from the Brooklyn Gray? That's another color I like but hard to tell online. Mine is dark graphite and the configurator is an awful awful representation of that color.
