Could use some advice!

Ok, here's the summary. I ordered a Cashmere Silver with Terra interior and High Gloss Black Trim Convertible. My dealer never called me with a production number and today he called me and told me there was an issue. The manager ordered the car with Gray Poplar trim instead of Black. The car went to production and they say it can't be changed. He just never called me with the #. So its either I get what they ordered or they will order another car. I'm thinking maybe gray and terra won't look that bad. What I need help with is :

1. Has anyone seen/have this combo? any pics?
2. Should I be able to get something thrown in? I figure if if they reorder that will have lost another allocation or posibbly, this color combo may not sell. Should be some incentive for me to just take the first order.

Just my opinion (and I have Gloss Black Trim).........but, looking at the pictures in the post above and considering your exterior color, I think the Grey Poplar Trim will look great.
I almost think that the Grey will look better than the Black, with your colors, due to the sparkles in the black.
As long as you won't hate yourself for not getting the Black, I'd "settle" for the Grey.

Do you think I can get some free stuff? Think its a big enough deal, or am I just being picky?

I bet you could beat them up on the price a bit, although if it's anything link the dealers around here they will probably just figure they cal sell it to someone else.

I'm just guessing here but when you FINALLY see her for the first time you will be in love and not even care about saving that $250...

Looking at the pics we have here, I think I may like it even better than black, I didnt realize there were hints of brown in it, but they don't know that, I'd think it would save them alot of hassle just to shut me up,no?

Looks great to me ! I guess that the trim could always been changed afterwards - I've seen a link on here which shows how it's simply unclipped so should be straighforward if BMW dealer wanted to change. But I like the grey look.

Keep the gray poplar! I think it'll look great with the Terra interior.

Maybe you could at least act very disappointed and get them to throw in some free floor mats or something.

yeah def keep the poplar and see if you can get some free mats or other assorted goodies lol....I think it will look better than black anyway...the dark brown hue will be great with the terra (it's the reason I went with it after an initial order of black too!)

Thanks everyone, I'm gonna call today and act very dissapointed, and see if they can throw Mats or tint into the deal. But I do like the Gray.
