There's gotta be one out there perhaps spec'd the way you want or maybe a lightly used one? Make that dealer find all available terracotta interiors for sale in the country, see what's there.

Someone give this man a damn terracotta interior!!!

Careful, gregthegr8 is going to be asking for a finder's fee at the rate he's producing these cars and photos. Gr8 job, Greg! (oh, wait.....)

Terracotta is difficult to photograph, but it is a bit orangey. Some of those browner photos almost look like a different color. Definitely like it when it has the brown hue. I considered it with alpine white when I ordered, but wasn't convinced I'd like it enough.

Good luck, make your dealer work for your business and find you that car. Has to be a few of them languishing in stock around the country. Let us know.

I charge more than the individual program. 10% of the purchase price. White one in chicago isn't bad, gotta be winter tires on there, but make dealer work for it, earn their keep.

I think in the end you'll be able to find one somewhere, just may have to compromise either on exterior color, an option, or new vs. slightly used. Almost every single one a dealer will have is going to be alpine white though.

Space gray with terracotta may be hard to find. Your dealer should know in two seconds if that's out there. When I looked, I wanted a mineral grey 135is and in two seconds the dealer said, there are two out there in the entire country...

I'm still paroozing...seems better than working or watching crappy tv or thinking about my own 135 waiting to get here.

You can say that again, I'm f**king stuck in bumf**k KY working on a tv show drooling over pics of what my future 135i will be.

Ya, I wrote a treatise for someone comparing the 135i vs 135is, let me copy and paste that in for you since you can't pm.

So, here's what you get with the 135is compared to the 135i. It starts with the 135i with the sports package, which comes with - the sport seats, beefier m steering wheel, upgraded rims, anthracite (darker) headliner, and the shadowline (black) trim around the windows instead of chrome. Normally this package on the 135i is $1300.

The 135is then adds:
  • BMW Performance Power Kit for the engine which upgrades the engine and adds 20hp and 17 ft-lbs of torque. Normally they sell for $1447 a la carte.
  • An upgraded cooling system with a more-powerful radiator fan and an auxiliary radiator.
  • BMW Performance exhaust, normally a $1250 option a la carte, which sounds amazing.
  • The upgraded 313 rims that cost ~$1550 if bought them and put on them on a 135i
  • In the grille, it replaces the chrome vertical slats with black ones. I thought that it blacked the whole grille, but no, still has the chrome surround
  • More aerodynamic and black-colored side mirror caps as opposed to body-colored
  • Stainless steel pedal surrounds (though apparently only dead pedal on DCT)
  • And comfort access appears to be a $0 option you can add for free

And if you want to get an idea of space gray with coral red on a 135is, albeit in a convertible, some nice photoshoot pics here that look pretty stunning:

When I did mine it was about a $2000 difference, but I could get free comfort access and was pretty intent on buying the 313 rims regardless.

If you want me to ping my dealer, see if he can find any across the nation, let me know. he pulled a miracle for me finding me an order spot.

I don't think any other browns are available though which is likely why they are then forcing people into the lifestyle edition. That not do anything for you? You could get a space gray one.

I like terracotta with some exteriors, but the online configurator was completely inaccurate in its portrayal of the color IMO. It is definitely more orangey in person than it looked in the configurator.

Tobacco looks really nice in pictures if the rest of the ZED package meets your needs. Is that still a possibility? I addressed your M Sport concerns in the ZED thread.

Update!!!

Update guys:

I made a build quote with my dealer with the limited edition.

It won't have the sports package but it will have the sport seats.. So I'm praying its the m sport seats like from the sports package..

Price without doc fees, and tax come to 45,070$, plus he says if I make a move soon they will drop 2100$...

Soo what do you guys think?

Either way I'm at a loss for terra cotta, but the tobacco is the closest thing at the expense of loosing the m package....

How easy is it to mod interior trimline?
