coffee merino leather pictures?

I ordered a 40i with the coffee merino leather (for now). But honestly, I'm still torned between coffee and tartufo leather. I've seen pictures of the tartufo from the press release photos but I have yet to see pictures of the coffee merino leather.

I haven't been able to find any photos of the Coffee Merino either (except on the BMW configurator website). But Coffee is going to be MUCH darker than Tartufo. My wife and I went with Tartufo so the cabin would feel a but more light and open. We also liked how the detail in the seats seems to be more easily visible in the lighter Tartufo color.

I believe the interior pictures shown in this article are Extended Coffee Merino leather: http://www.nydailynews.com/autos/new...icle-1.4025610

Coffee replaces mocha interior design from F15 and is definitely darker than tartufo with brown tones. I think it works very well with light color exteriors - white, silver.

I'm considering arctic grey with tartufo though leaning more towards mineral white with coffee. Tartufo looks sometimes too orangish for my tastes lol.

Here's an example from F15.

Question Merino leather not available until 4/19?

I am in the process of placing an order for a 2019 xDrive 40i and my dealer is telling me that all Merino leather options are not available until April 2019 (i.e. they are showing SOP: 04/19)

Has anyone else heard this or know anything about it?

Your dealer is wrong. I and a lot of others on this board have orders in for Merino leather. There is one Merino color choice not available right now.
