None of the above.

Atacama Yellow 35is.

Up to now, all my cars have been black or various shades of grey or silver. My last Z4 was Sterling Grey.

The yellow's really nice. It's a pretty close match for the yellow of my Ducati or the yellows used by Italian carmakers (such as Ferrari or Lamborghini) or Porsche.

It's not subtle, even a little bit, but I quite like it. I'm not normally a yellow fan. I got yellow plastics for my Ducati since I'd bought it used in extremely boring white, and red is such a cliche for them. That's pretty nearly the only other yellow thing I've owned except perhaps for the occasional toothbrush.

I'd consider posting pics, but it snowed right after I got the car home and the summer tires are so lousy in the cold that I can barely get the car up the gentle incline into my garage, where it's a bit dark for photos.

Quite a lot of black. Anywhere that another Z4 would have wood or aluminum trim, it has high-gloss "piano black" wood.

The seats are black leather and Alcantera. The upper dash and upper door panels are black Alcantera and the lower dash and lower door panels are a buff-colored Alcantera. There's some yellow stitching in places.

The ZYP package comes with black ///M floor mats and "exclusive anthracite headliner." I'll be darned if I can tell the difference with any other headliner I've seen in a Z4, but maybe I wasn't paying attention.

I'll try to get pics.

I spent most of the weekend in the ICU so didn't have any time for photography.

Next week I won't likely have any time when it's light out that I'll be able to take pictures until the weekend. We'll see if the weather cooperates.

Those are the 19" wheels that come in the 19" wheel package. I think they're style 313.

edit: They're style 326, not 313.

Whether one likes the color or not, nobody could argue that "subtle" is not an applicable descriptor here.
