When the cars arrived we almost refused them. Black Full Merino with an ivory headliner. I'm not a fan. The dealer agreed to replace the headliners, and we're still waiting for parts. Still. To prevent that, the configurator now (at least in the 40i) changes the upholstery to white if you select that option. A very Germanic solution, instead of having an option box that says "White Headliner."

Updating above, as noted, received ivory headliners in our black full merino leather-upholstered 40is (not possible on the configurator now). Fortunately, dealer and BMW agreed to replace (their error). In case you were wondering what's involved:
So after a year waiting for parts, and a couple of weeks in the service dept.:
Kudos to our dealer and SA for their persistence, and to BMW for stepping up. Also updated software to 7/2020.45, with Android Auto. All's well that ends well, with some minor ditzels still to replace/repair, and one more car to do. Life is a journey.
