I was looking for a E92 with carbon fiber roof, 6MT, and fox red interior. When I found my current car, it checked off almost all the boxes, except it had black interior. I really didn't want another black interior car but I decided to settle because it checked the rest of the boxes. I figured black is still better than beige or silver, and it won't get as dirty as a lighter interior.

We are all going to compromise somewhere when buying a used car. You just have to see which items are non negotiable and go from there. I focused on things that are not easy to change or replace down the line. If you want a e92, don't settle for a e93 as you can't change that. Don't get a sunroof or DCT if you want CF roof or 6MT, etc.
