Just ordered a new F31: 320d Luxury line in Havanna metallic with the 416 18" luxury rims. Mostly fully optioned, notable exceptions being the dynamic ("radar") cruise, HUD and lane departure/other safety stuff (and none of the M-sport options). Production in May, delivery early June! 
Sooo turns out choosing trim and colours isn't easy, and thought I'd try to get some advise here on Bimmerfest! For the seats, I was keen on getting something "lighter". Inexplicably, if you go with the light "Oyster" dakota leather seats, BMW insists on making everything from the floor and floor sides up to half the dash in the same beige colour. Horrible -- but I realised that with selecting the Individual Merino Leather seats, the rest of the car (except the door sides, which is nice) would stay black!
So, cashmere beige individual seats selected (ZAKS), and here comes the question: what do you think about the rest of the indvidual package? In Scandinavia (and perhaps everywhere else?) you can select any of the individual options by themselves: Individual metallic paint, interior trim, steering wheel and leather seats, and individual door sills (at no cost) if you want.
I'm happy with Havanna, and the steering wheel is off limits unless you also choose lane departure stuff (which I do not want). So what remains is the interior trim (which I currently have as the standard luxury line anthracite wood). There is a red sycamore wood and black piano which I am not interested in. The third and last individual trim is the "individual interior trim and leather" (XE9). That apparantly gives you the door sides in stitched leather (colour matched with the cashmere seats). In addition it gives you the same stitched leather on the entire main trim pieces on the dash. The other trim pieces (doors and the piece around the gearbox) gets the "Fineline pure" from modern line.
Question: what do you guys think about this individual leather trim? Does anyone have any pictures? And do you think I should get the BMW Individual door sills, or just stick with the standard "BWM luxury"?
Thanks in advance!
