xDrive (or anyone else who has actually seen champaign in person), can you tell me your thoughts on the champaign leather interior? I'm a fanatic for light interior colors; however on some monitors the champaign actually looks yellow. My wife teases me and says we're getting a 90k banana car. I expect it to stand out and be a bright and attractive color, though I am curious on just how "yellow" the interior is. Thanks.

You can't really trust computer screens to make a proper decision on colors unless you have a calibrated monitor. Every screen will give you a different 'look' of the same image. You would really have to go to your dealership and ask them to show you the samples of the material you are interested in!

I believe they can pick each individual option as they like (just like in Germany) and NOT like the ridiculous predefined 'packages' that we have to pick here. I wish they would offer us the exact same option selection like they offer to most European countries!

Thanks for the update on the color. I very much like beige and I was hoping that the champaign resembled beige
I saw the sample, but there is nothing like seeing the car with the material in first person. I live in Italy (military); however my order is American. I was limited to US specs but was allowed to get the individual with sappire black; my wife didn't want the cintron black

That's very true. It's a bit of misnomer to have an "Individual" "Package" in the first place. The most personalised scheme i've come across is Range Rover's. You can take an item to them and ask to replicate either the exterior paint or the leather colour to match it. I think they call theirs Autograph.

I was actually considering having my seats done with a graphite piping scheme but decided against it when I found out that that would add yet another couple of month to the already lengthy wait time... but they do offer total customization, e.g. engraving your name into the dashboard, stitching initials or whatever you come up with into your seats, have them match and paint your car ANY color you provide them with...

Congrats brother! The days seem to go by so slowly when you're waiting for your new toy to be built. I have three more weeks for my production and 6 weeks for delivery. I guess we'll have to use 7Post as a support network to get us by

Ok - I hate to sound like a broken record... but in the US - that is NOT the case. I appear to be limited to what the website lets you put together. Nothing else. - Believe me, money was no object here.. I even wanted the eiiman Marcus which DOES have everything. I hate when I get into my 7 series mood - cause I forget all the good things and dwell on the bad things (No active and Indv pkg, No rear iDrive, No choices of colors except the sets already put together,,,etc etc etc. ok - Im pissed again... gotta go.

In Canada, I can pretty much add any option I like or even change the (pre defined) packages but to be able to do that, I have to go through the special order process. There is a $400 or $500 charge for the special order (forgot how much the exact amount was). I can even get them to match the exterior or interior color to anything I like. BMW individual would provide me with a quote and a custom order code and then I can place my order for it. This may however take 6 month or so... Have you talked to your dealership about the special order process? If your dealership isn't capable of doing that, have you talked to a different dealership? I'm not sure if BMW USA actually offers this, but I would assume they do. Speaking of Neiman Marcus, that's where I actually got the graphite piping idea from So after talking to my dealership and they got in touch with BMW Canada, I found out that this would delay the order by a couple more month and I really didn't want to wait THAT long. Maybe for the next one... 760Li xDrive version (hope they will come out with an xDrive version of the 760!!!)...

Update: Should get the car on Thursday June 11th!!! WOOHOO!!!
Talked to the dealership yesterday. They will be picking up the car direct at the rail yard instead of having to wait for the transportation company to get around to deliver the car to the dealership. After PDI, they have to wait on Boomerang (same as Lowjack) to install the new tracking system. So right now, I'm scheduled to get my car on Thursday Long range forecast calls for rain next Thursday Hope this will change!
