Thanks! The funny part is that that combo of Cinnamon Brown and light wood trim is not recommended on BMW's color chart. You will only find it on a custom ordered car

Would they not give you the option of having it delivered with non-rfts?
The Goodyear LS2 all season run flats are plauged with bubbling problems. See the 60 page over 1000 post sticky thread on Bimmerfest and the dozens of NHTSA complaints by 535xi M Sport and 550xi M Sport owners. Dealers will not install non RFTs on the F10. There is no room for a spare tire and BMW is wedded to RFTs.

You know, the more I look at that color combo, the more I love it. I really like that cinnamon leather and the wood trim. Very nice choice Scott
