MG/SO or SO/SO on M4?

Is anyone getting M4 in SO/SO and/or MG/SO in the Bay Area? I would like to see both so I can decide on exterior color choice specifically. I got the M4 ED delivery date of last week of October. I am in East Bay btw.

Definitely go SO/SO. MG is so plain. Plus, the SO is exclusive to ///M cars whereas MG comes in 3series, 4series, 2series, etc. SO really stands out. If you haven't seen this color in person, you won't be disappointed. I ordered SO/SO and it will be fantastic! Here is a pic of SO/SO F80:

i love both so inside and outside, but IMHO too much to go SO/SO no contrast.

He's probably right. When I saw SO/SO on a M6 it was in desperate need of some contrast

M3/M4 have more contrast than M6 because seat backs are black, and dash/doors are black/orange mix rather than all orange.

My fear isn't contrast but that the orange leather isn't going to match the orange paint despite having the same name...

Was going with SO/SO. Thought I was being super cool. I'm sure it will be an awesome combo. But then, I took it a notch further. Switched to YMB/SO. Not regretting it in the least, even though I have seen neither in real life. Indeed, YOLO!
