Dealer called to take my order...help me decide

My dealer called me on Monday saying that BMWNA is doing an expecting orders for allocations and asked me to spec out my car as I am #1 on the list at that particular dealer for the new M3.

What color/options should I go with?

Alpine white is simply the best white offered on any car. Its is beautiful and will contrast amazingly well with the carbon fiber roof.

If and IF you are going to get after market wheels then get the 18's. But we all know the 19s will look better even thought they might perform slighlty worse.

Either the carbon leather or brushed aluminum, hard to pick. I wish they had more options.

And for the leather Im not sure if they have a deep earth tone brown if they do get it.

Here are my choices for you:

Interlagos Blue on Beige or Black with Carbon fiber trims. Trust me even if you get the 19" wheels you will still end up buying aftermarket wheels.

Alpine White is the colour to have for the new M3.

Aluminum Trim to tie the Silverstone to the interior

OR

the IB/Fox red would be nice, but it would be a PITA for resale I would imagine.
