I ordered it from Sterling.? Get this, I talked to a BMW NA guy yesterday and he checked with his contact at Oxnard.? The story he got was they had to replace the visors in the car because some of the cars come over with the visor warnings printed in german.? So they are holding up my car to replace the visors.? Hell, I know a little german and besides I hardly ever read the caution signs on visors.? First the SMG software upgrade -- now new visors. I don't know what to believe anymore.? Well anyway, he said I can expect my car next week after the New Year.? Truth be told, I've been expecting my car for the last two weeks.

Yup its gray... I like the Auburn, Black, Gray contrast inside the car... very elegant I think... like a Bently or Rolls Royce
I can dream cant I? 
Sorry this pic isnt that great it was just taken now inside the garage...

Ricky do you have the non smoker's option?
I would rather have a storage tray in my rear console like yourself than two power sockets.
I hate cigarette smell in my car's seats, carpet etc.

In the rear console no difference and no power socket nor in the trunk.
Next mid Jan I will have an appointment with my dealer in order to mount aux input (for i Pod) and a power socket in glove compartment.
