I've heard we get what Germany gets in exterior/interior.
LeMans Blue is offered only in the 337 M-Sportpackett. But it is there as a premium option. I personally doubt we'll get all the interior choices...especially on the trim selections. This I'm pretty sure is LeMans Blue not Montego Blue as posted by Irv. |

I'd love to be proven wrong, but I too think we will not get any of the leather/cloth combinations in the US. As far as exterior colors are concerned, I doubt we will get LeMans Blue. We will probably get all the other regular choices though... |

We are? I have heard it is doubtful that we will get Le Mans Blue (M Pkg option). I do hope this info is incorrect. It would be nice if BMW NA offered the cloth, but they won't.

Cloth used to be offered on the E21, E30, and E36 3-Series. At one time it was also available as a special order on the E46.
Nevertheless, your logic if exactly why BMW NA stopped offering it. :wink: Leatherette (vinyl) is not any better though. |

I love my cloth interior on my e36. Warm in the winter, cool in the summer, easy to maintain (no cleaning and conditioning every season), and it holds your ass in place when your taking a corner hard!
I'm not hating on leather or vinyl, but I think this whole notion that cloth is for poor people, or second rate is so misguided! As for the blue posted, I think it is le mans, not montego. Montego is brighter, and to my eye it has a slight tinge of purple in it. Thie pic posted above is more a pure blue. And I do hope Brookside is right and we get it as an option! As for the interior choices, I can live with a cream or beige interior. |

However he has been spot on as to US release date from way back in the early spring when I started inquiring. Also said the 135'll base msrp around 33-34k. Maybe wishful thinking on both our parts, but so far he's batting 1000. LeMans Blue would (obviously) be a great premium choice. |

Then do so. Offered in Germany only with the 337 M Sportpaket.
I definitely like the 261M's. I think they will because BMW always seems to have on offer sooner or later a special or premium color that distinguishes the car from the regular exterior color options. Lemon leather would be a very daring combo.. |
