I have not yet checked with the dealer to see if full Merino is an unpublicized option. But Aventurine Red with Caramel Merino is just sweet!

I ordered my 2022 M550i here in the States and got it in Aventurin Red with full Merino leather in Caramel. You have to use the Individual codes to get the Merino here.

Beautiful! Individual paint AND leather AND wood trim! Great choices.

Thanks!

It turned out even more beautiful than I hoped! It causes quite a stir every where it goes.
One of the men who works at the VPC at the Baltimore port told me when it arrived that the man assigned to prep it told the others to come see how gorgeous it was. When the truck delivered to the dealer the driver came in and told the sales people they really needed to step outside and see it.

It's even better looking now that the windows are tinted.

The Individual Manufaktur logo is just my not so humble bragging.

I have good news for my 540i aventurin/caramel. A week ago I got VIN number and it was told me that it can be produced in very short time. Probably around month from end of production it should be delivered to my dealer.

Through time, I added also universal remote controler and ceramic controls to the car. I also wanted to add Adaptive Drive as upgrade on Adaptive suspension, but I had missunderstanding with the salesperson through mails and they didn't forward desired modification. For consolation, they added me 5th year of warranty to the car instead of 4.

It seem to be seriously shortening the waiting times for new vehicles lately.
The seller tells me that when ordering a new car, it is preferable to order at least the smallest piece of equipment from the Individual program (for example interior trim), because today it speeds up getting a place in production.

Car arrived almost 2 weeks ago - 4 months and 1 week after the order.

540i RWD, aventurin red + caramel merino + alcantara headliner and other things like Adaptive suspension, Park Assist Pro, Driving Assist basic etc.

I am delighted with the colours, I was searching for this kind of configuration. We in Croatia can say that it looks very 'american'.

Immediately are winter tyres mounted, next month I will search for 19", maybe 20" for summer set.

I'm not a fan of the Caramel interior generally but it looks really good paired with Aventurine Red. Congratulations!
