I personally really like Carbon Black. In certain light, it has a bit of a bluish tint. Most BMWs look really good in LeMans Blue, and that color is exclusive to M Sports. AW is great also.

Not a dealer, but the whole idea of a "build-out" incentive like Option Credit is to sell those already built, certainly not the next model year. So no on your first, but Loyalty does apply to ED...

CWP this year includes rear heated seats. You can still select front heated seats option alone with leatherette, but not the CWP, as it's currently configured. (may change for 2013, may not)
