Stopped by the local BMW Dealer in St. Louis hoping to purchase a 2014 650 today. Really wanted a black one with the Highline package. What they had was the "Havanna metallic" also known as brown. I wasn't crazy about the color once we got it outside. They had a 650 in stock was black, but it had the low seat and therefor no heated seat. I didn't find the seat as comfortable and don't need the lower seat. Really want the heated seat as well. They don't have a black one coming in and didn't see one close enough to trade for (closest one 5 hours away). They have a Blue one coming in soon which might be OK. I can't see it until it gets there but did see the same color on a 1200 and it looked OK. They offered to switch all the panels between the brown and black models so that I could get the black with the Highline package. Did say he'd take off $171 if I went with the blue one but would do the switch if that would close the deal. Told him I wanted a couple days to think about it. See any issue with them switching all those panels between the brown and black? The only downside he offered was that the paperwork would say I bought a brown one even though it's black. That doesn't really bother me.
Has anyone seen the blue and able to offer any feedback on that color?
I plan on holding on to this for many years so really want to get the one I want. But not likely to get a black one unless they switch the panels. Wish I could see the blue, but it will be a couple of weeks. He told me they only sold 8 scooters in 2013 so not likely it will sell out from under me. But the weather is warming up and I'd like to get this deal done. He did offer what seemed a fair trade for my Honda PCX 150. Could get more if I sold it, but not enough to make it worth the hassle.
Appreciate any feedback from you experts!
