Well the Ordering Guide says $0 for the Individual Interiors - and that is what I paid for it!

So if some "training manual" says $1500 - my suggestion would be to get those Ind Interior orders in before they find the error (if so) in the Ordering Guides!

My guess is when the window sticker shows a $1500 charge the dealer is going to be coming for their money

Thanks for the info. So I guess G99 owners don’t get the full option and don’t pay an extra $1500. Very odd if not inaccurate.

Tough choice. Kyalami orange is quite orange but whether the green will clash is an open question. Also not sure about living with that green interior. Looking at XM with that interior has not been reassuring.

I’m in a similar place as I hope to order Oxford Green. Hoping there will be a brown eventually or through individual. Otherwise I’m leaning toward black or platinum/white.

I agree the carbon fiber not being on the steering frame and the paddles is just outright dumb.. I don’t think bmw execs know about this decision, most likely overlooked or assumed and someone dropped the ball.

That would be a very tough get when I have a signed purchase contract!

...and the dealer will never see the window sticker on a PDC delivery. (Its provided nice and flat and never attached to the window).

(In fact, I have one BMW PDC delivery where the dealer has never even seen the car itself!)

Their own training material misspells it as "Marino"
Can't make this shit up

That green, would be interesting to see it in the actual car.
Mint Green individual would probably look good with that

I wonder if BMW interior designers talk with exterior designers when they select interior colors. The current interior color selections are nice, but in many cases, from my perspective, the interior and exterior color selections just clash.

The 2026 G90 pricing and ordering guides have those interior options as NC and there is no mention of “full” in either.

I guess you work for a dealer and have more info, but from a consumer perspective this all seems very half assed from BMW if indeed you’re right about what you said above.
