I have been looking at it but I wanted to have something special and so far, nothing is possible it seems in terms of going for special colors or having specific leather with different colored stitching ... kind of sad really

The factory that builds it in US apparently cannot handle special requests and no timing just yet to when this would become possible.

For my 4 GC Frozen Grey Individual, they transported it from one factory in Germany to another factory (M factory) to put the color on and transported it back to continue working on it. I assume that it's too much now to ship it to germany for the color and then ship it back to continue working on it.

It does suck imho, I would like to get something special and it's, according to BMW, impossible. They should really stop advertising individualization ads on their websites because they aren't capable of doing anything for me in this case.

"the expression of personality"
the same boring color as everyone else has? give me a break
Yep.
had an offer made yesterday. 96K (Euro)...

well anyhow, have to see how it drives and in reality what the range is electrically before I order anything.

don't want to spend 96K on a hybrid car, if the real range is like 30km... and for the rest have to spend 14l/100km...

So let's see what reality is.

There is also a 530e Touring on the way. Now if that would be a 6-cilinder and 70km range... that would be interesting...
but ok, back to reality... probably 4-cilinder (like the 530e Berline) and 30km or less...
