As you say Jan, the brilliant white is a very wonderful color and very hard to take a picture of... I agree that it is approaching a pearl affect, but for those that have seen so many of the Lexus pearls, it does not give the same feel (and I say that in a positive way). It is a very nice selection on your part.
I still think you are just a bit of a daredevil seeing how far up you could get wheel spin on the winter tires of the other M5 you had. |

I thought about contrast stitching but it would have pushed out delivery every further so I decided against it . I'm likely doing some custom interior work anyway so have plenty of project to keep me busy

Jmh-
Beautiful car, really love the combo. Could you give any insight into the overall timing of the process? I ordered mine in around Nov 20th - brilliant white with full black leather and blue contrast stitching. I'm finding with the paint and stitching, it's very hard to get a clear answer on schedule. Based on the latest from my CA, his system shows a target build date of week 8 (end of Feb). However, it's not actually scheduled yet. Is this because they are waiting on the interior to come from a vendor, or is it something else? I'm not sure if it all comes together quickly once scheduled, or if the scheduling is only the beginning of the process and it could take another several weeks with the individual options. Thanks for your help! |

The delay in production actually starting is mostly due to the exterior paint as the factory is trying to batch enough cars with identical colors for paint . This helps them to streamline the paint process (need to flush the paint equipment for different colors). Given you have brilliant white it likely might get scheduled rather sooner than later , mine was actually produced 6 weeks prior to me picking up the car. Most cars will be finished 10 days prior to pickup. Once you have your production number your dealer can also download the exact config for your car which is kind of interest if you have an Individual order Most interior parts are usually build 2-8 weeks prior to the car starts production (you can see the production date for the parts on the backside) Good news is it will be build in time Below is an example from my build. 0490 Special painting Paintwork "brilliant white-metallic" (code U21) Z1XX Special upholstery Full leather Merino cohiba brown (nb. 7 975 329 / Sun Reflective Technology). Seat centre parts/seat side panels in climate leather Merino cohiba brown perforated (nb. 7 975 391 / Sun Reflective Technology). Sewing thread tabak (nb. 6 974 854), code 0966 D. Quilting yarn tabak (nb. 6 978 114), code 0966 D. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Quilting yarn for "Ornamental seam": Quilting yarn tabak (nb. 8 027 111), code 0966 D. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Seam of front and rear seats according to M-multifunction/-climate seats. Remainder of spec. as full leather Merino black (code X3SW)
