I'm exactly 10 days away as well. It's weird I've never been this excited about a car. Singapore grey looks awesome you'll be pleased

SO is amazing! Not sue why they call it "orange' as it's more of redish interior! Unless I'm color blind!

I have SG with SO and I get compliments from everyone who sees it. I love it... IMHO the interior color gives me a True "M" feeling that the car is packing a little something extra special.

I was a little worried about it being a little too "loud" but since I just have the base "extended" leather option it's broken up with the black reducing the "red cocoon" feeling. I'm a fan of the dual color doors, etc.

On a side note With 2 kids in car seats I'm actually thankful that my front seats have plastic backs - makes for a much easier cleanup that full leather!

Its def more orange than red imo - as is with many people that comment on my interior.

I have extended SO for same reasons as above (didn't want too much SO), although some of the full individual interiors posted on this forum look amazing.

My wife described it as red when she first saw it but then reassessed it as burnt orange. SO is not bright red and changes colour under different lighting (sometimes looking dark red-orange, sometimes light burnt orange, etc.).

The Mico Silver video demonstrates SO under different lighting true to form around 3:00.

Yes, mine is the extended too. Like the contrast with the black panel. Looking forward to it arriving. Like smithy23, i've never looked forward to a car so much
