Moving from my early ‘22 Thundernight lease to a purchased ‘23 Superman spec. Thundernight had only base headlights, cerium trim, black&blue Vernasca inside. Sourced a dealer-ordered Superman with all the goodies I need, incl shadowline, which I’m now sold on. Knew for sure after 2 years that I wanted to buy, so opted to go for a newer car in the spec I wanted most. Might do a wheel change eventually - but the bicolors are fine for now

I think the red interior just looks so sharp. Superman is bold but looks great imo.

Honestly, I'm leaning towards the ultra bold move... Thundernight with red haha! The PB&J look is more classic with the tan, but the red just looks so solid (will have to get the red calipers to match).

I thought blue and red was typically Spiderman trim.

That doesn't look bad in the pictures. That was actually my spec (Portimao Blue exterior / Tacora Vernasca interior), but I wasn't sure if it would clash too much. There were no blue/red BMW around to compare it to. I ended up changing to black vernasca with blue stitching.

I guess one thing that helps is remembering how much upkeep the red seats were in my Mustang. I had to clean them every couple of months due to jean dye transfer.

Superman back from full XPEL PPF (incl. glass) and full XPEL ceramic (incl wheels) … the Portimao blue paint underneath looks wet and popping, with amazing gloss Inside, the piano black was also PPF’d. Taking no unnecessary chances with this car 🤞
