'09 Priority One Options for US?

[gocal73]

So, it looks like the '09 changes are Space Grey for Sparkling Graphite and new idrive.
How about Priority One options? Anything new for '09? Will Lemon remain a P1 option? Would be sweet if LeMans Blue were a P1 for '09.

+1 for LeMans Blue.

LeMans Blue, that would be nice! I'd like to see Tahiti Green as a P1 option as well, since we can't get it as a regular option in the US.

Last week I asked what priority one was and someone told me that it was justba status of car production but from this post it seems to represent some ability to choose from an expanded list of colors.... Can anyone elaborate?

Priority one options basically are options that can only be ordered when a customer custom orders his or her car, not for dealer allocations. For example, for the 2008 1 series you cannot have Lemon or Terracotta leather unless you choose it as a P1 (priority one) option through the dealer when you are special ordering your car. The normal allocation of 1 series every dealer gets will NOT have the lemon or the terra so that makes those options quite rare.
