Nice build!
I went with Black Sapphire/ Ivory extended interior. Never had a white interior before but the Ivory isn’t too in your face white. It’s a bit subdued. Otherwise similar builds. I went with the DHP instead of the BW Stereo. I’m positive I’m going to regret not getting the BW but if that’s he worst complaint I got I’m doing OK. |

I really struggled with B&W vs DHP. I had to keep my final build withing budget, so those were the options I had to "compromise" on. I consider myself a bit of an audiophile so I figured I would get more out of that option than the DHP. Coming from an ML350, the M-Adaptive is already an upgrade, so I don't know what I'm missing with the DHP. So that was my logic in a nut shell. Now as long as I don't drive a DHP variant of my car, I think I'll be OK with that "compromise". |

Yep. My understanding is that as soon as they put in the order (chances are they're just adjusting an order already in queue) they can run a VIR and give you the production number. I blocked out my production number, but it should be there for you.

For sure. I’d say about 60% of my regret is because of the cool way it looks!!

This thread in particular I find hilarious and enjoy reading because I get it. I probably should've checked myself into some sort of support group in retrospect. But you know what? I had forecasted my car to be done early by like the second week in October! I was proud of myself. These are also my first vehicles that I will only hand wash. I have a waterless wash kit that I really like but sadly have a detached, non-heated garage in Wisconsin that really is pissing me off. A little over a month ago I looked at getting my garage finished which includes running a natural gas line, installing and venting a heater, finishing and insulating the garage (like 1100 square feet). Like 7-10 grand or so out the door. So you know what I decided to do? Build a new house. A garage with running water, drains, epoxy floor, heated, attached...actively engaged with a builder as we speak But really it's a fun addiction. I'm starting to get active with my local BMWCCA chapter too and it's a lot of fun - you guys really should, too! Lots of like minded car guys (and gals) like us. |

Here's what's going to happen... You'll fall asleep but then probably wake around 3am and check the tracker.... No change, you'll be bummed out... Then check again around 7am... Boom! Don't ask how I know :

btw does anyone know how much 'extra' time adding the blue/white interior adds to your build? |

If you really think about it, the B&W system is 3k basically, since no one gets the stock stereo and the HK is 800 by itself. you're just spending another 3k on top of what you'd otherwise spend. but the DHP is definitely cool too if you do a lot of spirited driving, which I dont since im waaay too scared of suv rollover to ever want to try no matter how much this model lulls me into a sense of security |

Looking back I should have added the B&W. But I’ll be fine without it. If I want to rock and roll, my wife’s Navigator has the Revel audio system and that sounds fantastic.
