Waiting for the UK one to go live so been playing with the German version to keep myself amused.
Bluestone, Med blue or Carbon black that is my dilemma, what do you think ?

For me the choice would be between Med Blue and Carbon Black.

But since I have a Med Blue F11 today I would probably order a Carbon Black G31 if that is going to be my next car.

Nice looks great in the sun, I will check it out in the flesh before my G30 test drive tomorrow.
My F11 is Imperial and I would have that again if it was an option on the Msport.

Lucky bastards getting access to G31, I'm jealous.

OTOH, you guys have to drive diesels all to often over there lol!

Edit - love my Med Blue btw. One of my favorite BMW colors offered today. It's very rich, especially when the sun is shining on it.

My F11 530d msport was my first diesel and although I would always choose a petrol with company lease schemes this side of the pond we don't normally get the choice I have been really impressed, it even sounds good.
Unfortunately for me the new G31 is 1 CO2 over my limit so I have to have a four pot 520d which was a bit of a shock on the G30 520d test drive. Different way to drive I guess, ride the torque and don't rev it all the time.
Sure will miss my 3.0 diesel or petrol.....

I had two Audi Avants before going to the f10 as I like the lines better of the f10 vs f11 and in the Audi I never put anything in then went higher then where the drunk would be... never missed it in the f10 and also won't miss it now in my g30, though don't have your hobby but do have a co2 limit for work too
