My M235 will be in order of preference:

1) Mineral Gray on Red Dakota leather
2) Estoril blue on Tera Dakota leather (if offered although these colors may clash)
3) Estoril blue on black Dakota
4) Never liked red cars but I gotta say Melbourne in the official materials looks pretty sweet !!

Gotta change it up from Alpine White !!!

Do you think the shade of blue in Estoril won't clash with the Tera?

I usually like blue/beige blue/brown combinations but I'm not sure about this one

I want to see how the superman combo looks given this blue is closer to actual superman blue. The red may be too loud for it though.

not sure. I need to see a good configurator haha. The one on the BMW website doesn't look in HD and is grainy, so hard for me to tell.

That being said, I never considered a brown interior before. I think with the M performance interior it will look nice, however.

I need to the see the 19s first - I don't love the look of the "sheen" aka gunmetal that you see on the standard 18s.

I have done lots of searches on the M135, as they look to be the same wheels, and they look good in some, grungy in others.

Hopefully the 19s are the typical, bright silver finish. Then I can pick combos.

Those do look good.

But the price of them on the current F20 1 series is absolutely eye-watering! It is the most expensive option of the M-performance parts for the F20..

I somehow like the standard 18s on the M235i more than when it's on the M135i lol..

Although I really like the M235, I feel let down by the limited exterior/interior color options. At a minimum there needs to be a dark blue option and a light colored interior that keeps the black carpet, dash, and headliner. Maybe even something slightly eccentric would be cool. BMW should bring back the priority one options. Something to give the folks who custom order their cars a broader range to mix/match and find their perfect combo. If I had to choose now I guess I'd go with Alpine white/coral ....classic combo from the 1series...but it's been done.

We have different tastes, I would rather go red interior matched with silver/gray exterior
Or
Tera interior (any beige /brown really) matched with blue exterior

Never mind, I see now you changed your mind too !! Mineral gray on coral red should be awesome !!

I already have a Valencia orange Beemer .. It's an F800GT

A Valencia Orange M235 would have been the perfect garage mate !!

I'm guessing the Alacantra Hexagon cloth option is just a cruel joke? Could they finally bring it to the US this time around?
