What is your dream E92 spec?

Hi all.
I’m new to the forum and have really learned a lot. Thanks for all the great knowledge being shared.
I’ve been shopping E92 and BMW didn’t make any ugly ones. 👍. They look fantastic in any color. This got me thinking. What would you order if you could go back in time and build one?

Here is my dream spec.

Interlagos Blue
Fox Red (I have not seen that combo)
Carbon Fiber Roof
Comp Pack
Manual

What does your dream spec look like? Show a pick if you have one.

Cheers.

The carbon really pops against the Dakar Yellow.

I want to see a clean Jerez Black in person. It looks so blue in pictures. I personally like the blue highlights I see in pics.

Interlagos Blue E90 on Fox Red interior unlike the rest here, I prefer DCT.

IMO, manual in this car after owning a few is not the best.

I prefer the single hump as well. In recent times nothing dates a car more than an outdated infotainment/navi. I could live with it but with the benefit of hindsight I wouldn’t have chose it.
I do like the like the leather better than the cloth though.

I need to drive a DCT so I can formulate an opinion. I know there are many on the forum who endorse it.

This is probably the first car I wouldn't mind having either Auto or Manual. For every other car, I would always choose the manual version. The DCT is so good in this car, but then the 6MT adds a whole other level of driving engagement and fun.

It's weird, when I have a 6MT I kinda miss the DCT, but then when I have a DCT I miss having a manual. I would love to add a DCT E90 next to my 6MT E92 someday, then I can have my fix for both whatever mood I'm in.

E92 Mineral White or Melbourne Red over Fox Red if MW and Bamboo if MR, 6MT, single hump, carbon roof, competition.

Silverstone or one of the blues, ZCP / DCT / CF roof. Single hump with extended leather. I got this one albeit the single hump.

Including individual though? Tanzanite or Moonstone on a E90 and all of the above. Not sure if I'll ever be able to get one of those anytime soon.

Comp, Alpine White, fox red, single hump, 6mt. Maybe even Mineral white. I've always been an Alpine White guy. But recently saw a Mineral White e92 and really liked it.

I agree both of these combos are awesome. Melbourne Red with Bamboo is so classy. Gentleman’s spec.

Silverstone is dynamic. In some pictures it looks like a brighter shade of titanium. In other lighting it shows a pale blue tone.
