I’ve had to order ever bmw as a result. So many of the same cars in my location I need at least something. Of course in the 5 that’s literally one shade of blue. While I really like bluestone, it’s really just gray. I really don’t get the obsession with the only black interiors n what some of these dealers option their cars like. They iverpricevthen with insane safety stuff but the. Take out some of the nicer cosmetic or performance. I’ve seen some 70k base looking 5 series just due to this... cuz apparently everyone needs night vision but not led headlights.
