Ordered my new 535xi on June 1st. Dealer told me it would be here in 3 to 8 weeks. After reading some of these posts seems like I will be looking more at 8 weeks if I am lucky. The wait is killing me. Ordered Jet Black with Cinnamon interior. I didn't realize it came with the grey headliner and when I called to add the anthracite headliner my rep told me since we had a VIN already and the car was in production it was too late. Anyone know if it is possible to change the headliner after you get the car to black???

Hi rojames and welcome to the Forum.

The wait sucks, many of us are familiar whith that :thumbsdown:

Jet Black is a new color for the F10, called Black II in the EU.
Keep it waxed and it will look much better than any other black even a bit dirty

If your car is already in production, depending on where you might be able to change the headliner color. If not, just ask you dealer to cxl your order and configure one to your order and liking. The last thing you want is taking delivery of a car that you don't like/want. Your CA might be a little peeved, but if he's good he'll do the right thing and get you the car you really want. Of course the wait might be a bit longer, but IMO it's worth the wait to get the exact car/config you want....

retrofitting the headliner is possible, but will cost you...
