yeah BMW needs to get their shit together with this stuff if they want to keep pushing for most sales to be made to order vs off the lot. Would it kill them to take a picture of one of the seats in the factory under a couple different lighting and throw it in the builder as a clickable pop up or something? ain't rocket science just takes a tiny bit of effort

Agreed. I just can’t reconcile the 3 different colors between the swatch, builder, and these new pictures (would certainly be helpful to know a bit more.. source etc).

And of course, I confirmed my request with my SA to update from KO to Dark violet / black this AM before seeing these pictures . Oh well lol.

It will look different with black versus the grey, and the is much less of it in the M5. Looks good in the configurator.

found these shots. kind of warming up to it, I think it'll go well with black.

From the i5 review: "Our tester’s interior was finished in Dark Violet and Atlas Grey merino leather, which sounds polarizing at first, but it’s a just-right amount of purple..."

Thanks for this. Some of the other pictures in this article have eased my concerns. Looking forward to this interior again!

This is way worse than I expected it to look. I was considering waiting and giving up my allocation delivering in 2 weeks to get the dark violet but definitely not anymore KO is way more intriguing and fitting with frozen dark gray. Happy with that. I just dont think its purple enough and is too dark
