So the LSD is no longer a port-installed option. It's now dealer installed and likely a chunk more change.
That leaves me inclined to try to find a car already on the ground here, in which case colors take a back seat to options. (So to speak.) There is possibly an Estoril and black leather car with all the options I'd order on the ground at my dealer. Stay tuned. Otherwise, I was leaning toward the Estoril and Terra (brown) combination. The car is super fun to drive. About as close to my old E46 as I can get in a modern car. |

I live in Texas so I know heat--I don't think the black interior would be a huge deal.
Good luck! I LOVE the 2er in Estoril

Estoril/Coral is the correct answer.

This is what my 10-year-old wants--call it "Superman" or "Spiderman," whatever. But, true confessions, I kind of like it, too. But it scares me.

I vote Estoril/Oyster. The dakota leather is tough (barely leather, more like vinyl) and can be cleaned.

I vote Estoril and Terra (brown). I had Interlagos/Cinnamon in my E46 and loved it.
I love the 240i but I wish you could get just a little more rubber under the back end. 245 is pretty thin.
