Need help fellas. Currently own a 2024 4BW.

It was my first ever ordered car from factory. The 5 was out of my budget at the time so I went with the 4. Coastal blue, 6M, bare bone options (not a carbon fiber guy), red calipers, tan interior. It was the perfect build for me. The car is a blast. Love it beyond.

I've found a 24 5BW with identical build other than having a PDR. It's black interior and doesn't have the red calipers. Same mileage, no carbon. I hate all black interior. I love my tan and I love the way my 4 has the red accents especially the calipers. This was my "dream' combination.

I need advice to pull the trigger. I want the 5 but its those 2 must haves that are killing me. Im trying to hype myself up to get over the interior and calipers but I have a chance to upgrade to the 5 which is what I wanted when I bought my 4 in 24.

Please tell me to get over the interior and calipers and get the 5BW. I'll be happier with the choice, yadda yadda.

Thanks

Here's my 4 and the 5 that I'm looking at.

You can add CF but if that black interior doesn't have red or blue seat belts at least, it's a bit monotone. Youre going to spend a lot of time in the interior so if it doesn't tickle your fancy, I'd pass.
 
Really tough to get over an interior you don't like. OTOH not too hard to get color on brake calipers. I say pass. Good luck with your decision!
 
I'd probably keep shopping only because of your hang ups on the interior color. On the flip side, you'll never notice the interior color when the exhaust opens up.
 
Coastal Blue in a 6M is almost a needle in the haystack itself. 😆

My original order (by me) 5BW is fairly low spec: red seat belts, red calipers, 6M, no roof, and mid-seats in sky cool gray. I picked up a second very lightly used 5BW this year that had my dream exterior color; Black Diamond Tricoat (shout out car twin @668LT4). It's a heavily optioned car which isn't necessarily how I would have ordered it, but I went with it anyway. The new one has the tan CF backed seats and a sunroof and I'm surprised how much I "see" these two things with a ever so slight disappointment. Do I have regrets, absolutely not! The overall option package/color combo is compelling and the fact that its the last of the serious front facia and proper cockpit keep me very happy.

If the exterior color is a must, then adding red seat belts, powder coating the calipers, and maybe some Llyods mats might get it within you're acceptable aesthetic zone.
