Do we know if all these colors are available on both the eDrive40 and M50 or are there certain colors specific to one or the other?

I think that depends a bit on the region. Here it seems the Portimao Blue is only available on the M50 or with the M-package on the eDrive 40. Same for the Cognac Leather interior. It is a shame as that was my preference but my lease budget does not allow the M-package (or the M50).

Not sure if the video has already been shared on this forum. Anyway this seems like a good place to do it (again) ….

Portimao sometimes has a purplish hue to it...makes me hesitate to order it.

Welcome to the forum @Subartje! Aside from Portimao Blue which other colors are you considering?

 

[Subartje]

Saphir black
Dravit grey
Aventurin red

And same problem here. Dravit grey is now on top, but still some time to make final decision..

I was between dravit grey and sapphire black and ended up on sapphire black as well. I would have opted for carbon black if it was available - I have it on my X3 and side by side with my 6 series in sapphire black is much more pleasant to see IMO - the x3 in daylight it’s more elegant in a dark blue and at night is a darker black (less reflective) than the sapphire black. The sapphire black also looks dark grey in daylight as well.

Portimao blue in cloudy and rainy weather. It was a typical danish winter day at the dealer.

I see that they all have Sun Cloud Protection Glass, very useful

I have decided to change my order from Tanzanite Blue to Portimao Blue and wondering back and forth about to change the 19 "859M rims to these 20" 862I rims on this car. These rims have a lot of "silver" and I find it difficult to see if it will look good on the portimao.....😵😏 I know it will take away some range, but that is no problem. I can just buy regular tires when the original perfromance tires are worn out. That will give me some range back😄
What do you guys think?

I went with the 20” 868s. I always prefer the larger wheel sizes, however, I don’t think the 862s were a 20” option in USA for us. If I did have the option between 868s and 862s, I’d go with the 868s given the better “contrast” and less “silver” as you note. Ultimately, it’s what makes you happy!

In Norway I can also order with 20 "868M and they are maby better looking. But they are very wide (285?) and think they reduce the range a little too much. I am also in doubt about the" lips " (included with this selection) glued on the outside of the wheel arch
... when I finally have decided on the color and all the extra equipments, then some other difficult choices emerge ... nice luxury problem really .... frustrating and fun at the same time ....😵😂
One other option is to order with 18 "858M and mount winter tires on them, and then rather buy some nice non-original 20" rims😎
