As per the signature, but I'm well and truly straddling the fence after some recent thinking and comments. Will stick with the Graphite, but may change the interior to Coral Red (and some new friends) or the standard black.

Hey simon seems that there in Perth lots of people do not like the coral red interior, I think it looks great, but of course black is always excellent, if you still have not seen it on the flesh, see the interior on the launch and then you'll see which one suits you better

I have my heart set on a Sedona 135i with lemon int. Pretty sure I'm the only one in Australia contemplating this combo. I love Sedona Red. Recently converted from Jet Black.

It would be even more popular if they called it Lambo orange.

I saw the Sedona Red swatch at the dealer. Outside in the sun it literally glowed! For me there was no other choice. My last four BMWs were grey - it was time for a change.

For those of us who love photography - red is a colour that breathes life into a photo. Next time you look at a fashion shot or glamour shot just look for that splash of red.

However...if I had gone for an M3....sparkling graphite for sure!

Went for Le Mans blue. I must like blue, as all my cars are various shades of this colour.

I saw a Sedona Red 135i vert in Kuala Lumpur last week. Not such a bad colour in the sun! But I think you will also get sick of it quite quickly. Don't know, may that's just me.

Went for Le Mans Blue. Saw the Sedona Red car to be used for our Dealer launch and I must say it's very nice. Was tucked away in the shed though so can't comment on how it looks in the sun.

Lets not forget that if you choose the white, that colour is free, so the 1,600 you whould have pay for a different colour you can use to but some parts for the car.
