Hey guys,

Has anyone ordered their '21 M50i With the night blue/ivory interior? Per the new configurator and then talking with the sales manager and regional rep, it appears only the seats will be in those colors and everything else in the interior will be standard black. I'm sure as many of you know who are interested in this interior color, could pay the additional money for the full night blue /ivory which included carpeting Dash and doors as well adding the alcantara headliner. It's a little disappointing to see this cut back due to demand, in addition to no soft close doors, no heated and cooled cup holders, no ventilated seats, Just to name a few things that are now , no longer available on '21s.

Frustrating when you're willing to pay for these options and they're N/A and then also learn standard equipment is also taken away as well.

For those building a fully spec'd M50i, What are your thoughts on BMW bringing these back later in the year ? Are you still going to take delivery ? Looking at other brands ?

Ventilated Seats are standard equipment on the M50i (ordering guide lists 453 Front ventilated seats as standard equipment.) I have Blue/Ivory full on my M850i and considered in on my M50i, but the black doors/dash/carpet/etc forced me to go Ivory Extended instead. Wish alcantar headliner was ivory also, but will be anthracite at this time I believe.

I have a MY20 40i with extended Ivory White/Night Blue Merino - where the lower dashboard was black. They corrected the lower dashboard to ivory this year, while bummed I'm happy with the interior - it's a nice mix of sporty and nautical.

I did consider going full Ivory White/Night Blue Merino - as I'm huge fan of the combo when introduced on the X7 - but deciding on PB, it was too blue with NB dash, window sills and alcantara headliner. If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably should have gone with MW and full IW/NB. Yeah it's a bummer that full Merino is not available for MY21 models.

X7 M50i is an alternative. Good luck with your decision.

MystroX5 made the upgrade from xDrive50i M Sport to X7 M50i - here's a link to his post and thoughts on the change:

Hey Produhktiv - the ventilated Seats are actually not available on the actual build guide that the dealer users, there's a discrepancy between what is showing a standard equipment and what's truly available per the spec sheet. You may want to contact your sales guy if this is truly something you're interested in because due to supply and demand they're now only available as part of the luxury package on 40i's and below. They will no longer be coming on the 2021M 50i's. Per the reg. sales rep, it's, a gamble right now if they'll be on the build or not and later 21's will not have them.

Thanks Auricom! I get these are bougie wants, but when you're building it's all in the details, haha.

Thanks for sharing the pics, it actually isn't that bad of a contrast.

As a designer I'm also a stickler for details and definitely agree with you, especially when you're spending close to 6 figures on a vehicle.

Ja, it's not bad and will be mad jealous of your ivory white lower dash

It's built at this point, will know as in a few weeks when I do PDC pickup, but I asked when they ordered and they indicated it was good to go.

From MYGARAGE, mine is built, and shows it on my build -

Hoping its there for you man!

The reg. sales rep said mine was "likely" to have it, but no guarantees.
