My Ride: 2011 520dA coming up.

I tried some last minute changes too and it was not possible either.
Furthermore I think your choise of color does give the car a very good appeal.
Best thing is you do not need to clean it on a daily basis.

IMHO you'll be happy with Silver Gray. That's what I have and I really like it. Looks great when it's polished and especially on bright sunny days.

Color is a personal thing, but I love my silver gray. Dark enough to show off the lines of the car, but not too dark that you have a second career detailing it...

Check out my gallery below--maybe it will help change your mind.

If you really don't want it, see if your sa can swap with another sa in order to sell it to someone else (or just sell the same car to someone else themselves). That way you can order again. I did this in order to get a post week 9 car - i told them about three weeks before my car was due to be delivered. I suspect you can change minor things like trim and possibly some other options, but not the colour.
