Einstein - will see what it's like but might consider a Birds LSD if we feel the need.
The new M235i (not for us as we need a hatch boot!) can be had with Terra leather like our 335d - pretty cool I reckon. You can have red paint too; not for me but many like it. M135i interior and exterior colours are pretty limited!

Got black leather in the civic ex gt but its not too bad as I have the panoramic roof which really lifts the interior
I've had cream leather before but the dye transfer from jeans tends to discolour it after 3/4 years and not much you can do once it's dirty
A good quality leather cream is a must and treat every couple of months
To me part of a car experience is the interior and especially the seats colour so red and black pin striping will set it apart from many other cream interiors of the BMW

I hope so!
I treat our leather regularly with AG leather cleaner then conditioner; smells great (like newly treated/oiled horse saddle!) and means ours still looks almost new seven years later. Being nerdy can be useful at times.
I will also give it the full works with Dodo Supernatural Hybrid to seal the paint. And I will stick carpet protector on too.

Pop up a pic of the interior up when it stops raining.The 0-100 video earlier in this tread was pretty impressive. I had no idea they were that quick

I've not found 0-100 differences but for 0-60, the auto is 0.2s quicker. However with the new launch control, I think it might be a larger gap. In that vid I posted, the guy uses launch control and gets 4.4s to 60 and 10.3 to 100. Pretty sure that's M3 fast ;-)

Well done getting your new car. Not everyone's cup of tea on the looks front, but still a top top car, especially considering what it can do for how much it costs.
Hope you get lots of enjoyment out of it.
