sunstone MSport anyone?

I've been on the configurator for quite some time and really like this different colour combo, sunstone with ivory white merino.

Has anyone ordered an MSport Sunstone?

At least it’s a “color”! I kind of like it. Photonic blue looks a lot darker in person, which sucks. No more space gray... choices are terrible.

I ordered mine yesterday. I went with Coffee Vernasca. I thought about the Terra Brown, but it didn't win me over. There is not a great color selection. Hasn't been for the last couple of years. My 528 is Cashmere Silver with oyster leather, so I feel like I am just playing it safe.

Here's a video of X3 M40i in sunstone metallic. It's definitely different... not of a fan of it personally. Hoping for more color options next year.

I’m just glad I like the Sapphire black... couldn’t buy a Bmw otherwise. Horrid color choices, interior designer must have pictures on somebody...

congrats on your purchase! it certainly has hints of moonstone metallic under certain lighting conditions which is what initially got me interested in sunstone

I'm struggling to do that with Alpine White, I feel as if I need to change it up

Agreed, check out the sunstone X3 link Auricom posted, shades of silver under variable lighting conditions

Forgot about the review from Autogefühl's starting at 5m39s - shows sunstone metallic:

Color looks nice with the satin aluminum window trim and roof rails versus black.

Thanks AstonKarim! I can't wait to see it in person! And also, I got my colors mixed up in my first post. I was considering the Pyrite Brown Individual and not the Terra. Without at least seeing a chip, I was too chicken to take that plunge. What I really wanted was the Frozen Bronze, but not an option...

I like the black roof rails and window trim. (and a big reason I went with the M Sport package) I'm also going with black wheels and kidneys. Wheels will have to be done after market, since that is not an option available to order here in the US.
