I've got my heart set on an auburn leather interior - even considering giving up active seat ventilation for it!

The choices above are the ones available to the UK for the Sport Model (as I understand it)

Unsure which exterior colour to go for - would appreciate your thoughts, and pictures if you've got any!

I was going to go for Auburn leather but i never saw it in real life. I wish i went for it.

Personally i think it would look nice in a dark exterior colour. Prefably any black.

I prefer Alpine white with the Auburn interior, but since that is not one of the options, I would have to say Carbon black. I have seen all of the other colors, and while they are nice, Carbon black is exceptional. In the sunlight, it is the perfect shade of blue, and at night, or under cloud cover, it looks black.

If ease of cleanliness is important to you, then Silver Grey would be nice too. I think in the long run, silver grey/auburn will be a classic combination.

black and only black.

I wish they were letting some of the BMW individual colors into the US.

The darker colours go well with Auburn but i saw a Silver Grey with it. Looks pretty good, i would recommend it.
