Love the white one, one similar in my local BMW dealership when I was in there last week.

only thing id change on that white one is the exhaust tip, Either an OEM one off another bmw or lose it and just havi it behind the bumper.

Read page 2 and thought yummy! Looks great.
Then went to page 1.
I think I prefer the blue! But they both look amazing.

White looks like a police car on a BMW estate though

Thanks for all the comments; got a flight booked for Saturday then a 330 mile drive home to collect. If im honest im glad I have gone for the white now as seen a few images of estoril blue estate's and the rear doesnt look as good as in white. Also the one i was going to get only had the 18's and I now think the 19's are worth the ugrade.
As for Xenon's etc they would have been nice; but at £1000 for the sight package its hard to justify! Also I dont do a great deal of night driving as work from home so again hard to justify!!
The white one saved me nearly £5K on the initial basic spec manual I originally ordered; and over £7K on what I would have had to pay for the white one if i had gone in and ordered it 
Already found a place in Germany which sells the Black kidney grills which i think will be my one and only enhancement to the car as the wife would kill me!! Although she has already been spec'ing up a new 1 series but she will have to wait for that!!

19's deffo worth the upgrade and in an estate your probably right re colour.
BMW sell the black kidney grills, maybe worth sticking with OEM parts since its brand new.
You dont have to spec the Sight package as well for the Xenon's (though its far better value if you do), sure they are about £490 for the lights and £225 for the headlight washers. But i do understand your reasoning and i would have done the same.

Nice car (exterior). Prefer the blue to the white
BMW need to hire a decent designer for the interior though!

I actually prefer the white. I agree about the exhaust tip needing changed.
Beauty though.

You can't be going to wrong with your choice if the only part people can pick at is the exhaust
Looks a very nice car, I really like the interior on these

Now picked it up and its now home safe and sound...
Started @ 4:30am with and alarm and a 5am pick up for the airport; 7am flight and 8am landing in Edingburgh. Then a bus ride into town and a short taxi ride to BMW I finally got to see my new car! Was more than happy and looks better than it did in the picks.
After a short handover I got the keys and the car outside and ready to set off on a 450mile drive home!
Then after a few hours we took a lunch time break in the lakes; was an awsome drive around one of the lakes with a few stops and sneaky pics!
Then on a bit further up into the cloud!
And finally one of the view!
Really love the car; such a good mix of everything. Auto box is so smooth, but fun when you pop it into Sport mode and use the paddles; handling is also spot on and the car is such a nice place to be!
But how the fook do you keep a white car clean!! Was out at 8am thismorning washing it and was filthy

Awesome mate. Looks stunning. Although I'm not a fan of the front of the new 3 Series.
