I'd go with the lime rock and maybe think about spec'ing some recaro sportsters for it in black leather and try and pick up some OE rear black leather seats if you want them all to be black leather. The start button is easily changed the nav screen might bother you but is repairable or replaceable. The OE power leather seats are nice and super adjustable but they're heavy and don't look super sporty but if it's your commuter I can understand you wanting all the amenities. I have a Jerez black m3 and it shows every little scratch/chip as you can imagine a non metallic paint would. My friend recently bought a car max car, he wanted a v8 grand Cherokee 4x4 and he transferred 3 of them to his local carmax and they kept coming with door dings from hell and paint imperfections. In the end they waived the transfer fees and he paid $2k for ding/paint correction. Carmax flip cars and DGAF it seems about this type of thing, they do a poor job of detailing/cleaning/servicing cars they sell and the associates only make $160 per car so they don't care either. Carmax seem to only care about accident history and selling you a service package and/or an extended warranty which is nice with our cars. The other nice thing about carmax and autonation is you get a 5 day grace period to return it. I bought from autonation and spent the next few days inspecting the car. I kept it and was super happy, felt like I got a good deal.

Correction I have a Schwarz black car, not Jerez
