swamp:

The "official U.S. ordering guide" sticky has a pic of the blue-gray brushed aluminum w the P.Silver ext. leather interior. I couldn't get it copied over to this thread (I'm not very computer savvy.) to show you but it gives you some sort of an idea...

Blue-gray brushed aluminum is one of the finalists in the trim category for me as well.

I initially went with black leather and alu trim, this was same as car I had a drive in and the silver works well in an otherwise black interior, then I wanted the interior to look more special so swapped to fox red/CFL trim. The one bad thing about alu trim is that it's standard in every 3 series so doesn't look very unique in the M3 so I went for the CFL trim.

If you can find a Z4M in the states at least you can see CFL in person, looks nice up close

Yep. That's how I decided on CFL. It looks nice.

nechronics · 02-01-2008, 06:08 PM

Is the CFL on the Z4's the same as the M3? I've seen the CFL on the Z4's and it....wasn't bad per se.

Yes, it's the same material as far as I'm aware

Yes, it's identical to the Z4M. Beautiful material too.

Voltigeur · 02-04-2008, 01:02 PM

Congrats swamp.

I am thinking of a very similar spec - but leaning to 18's (especially after reading Steve of EVO's take on the 18s)

NA finish will be different.

swamp2 · 02-12-2008, 07:06 PM

Went 112, order scheduled for production (by the way if you did not read the first post M-DCT+19s). The OC website is NOT updated in real time nor all that regularly. You have to call BMW NA (or your dealer can call - that is all they would do) at 800-831-1117 to get real time status. My car is scheduled to be built during the week of March 16-22.

So delivery should be around around the end of April.

eclipsisNA · 02-12-2008, 07:12 PM

Congrats bud, about damn time for you too!

No bumps about the 19s so far?

I don't know if I got bumped out of a previous build date. I typically checked the website and did not bother calling. Now I know better. If you are really interested I will ask them next time if I got delayed due to the 19s or M-DCT.

Congrats Swamp! You might be one of the first around with DCT.

My car is scheduled for production the week before yours. Maybe, they'll keep each other company on the same ship and talk about 6MT vs. DCT club membership benefits.
