Ordering soon... Need advice!
Im placing my order soon. I have a couple of questions and would love your input!
1. HD Radio: Does it live up to the hype? I'm getting the SIRIUS Satellite radio, but I'm not sure about the HD.
2. I'm getting the Laser Blue and want the interior to be pacific blue. Does anyone know if these two colors look alright together? It's hard to tell when you build it online whether the colors are even close to the same.
Please help!

Might check your area for HD radio stations. Here in the Bay area most of the stations I can tune into have HD, the sound quality is much improved from the standard "FM". Which means that the commercials come in even better too LOL.
I don't have Laser blue (pew pew), I'm sure someone has that combo though and could share their opinion on it

If you have stations you like in your area, it's worth it. The HD stations in my area sound 100% clearer the FM. Of all the sound inputs (Ipod, Fm, Am, CD. Sat), HD sounds the best to my ears. I've never had Sat radio before and some of the Sirius channels sound terrible, worse than streaming audio online.

Re: #2 - We have a Laser Blue Clubman S which we thought long and hard about before ordering our color scheme so I'll share my opinion, FWIW. First, Laser Blue is absolutely beautiful in person (much moreso than in pictures or on the configurator from what we can tell) so have no fear there. The interior shade of "Pacific Blue" is NOT an exact match and it looks better/worse depending on the lighting so be well aware of that when choosing your options. It was the very first thing I noticed (and which bothered me) in the showroom when pulling together our specs. Pacific Blue works much better with Lightning Blue, IMO. We definitely wanted to bring some color to the interior but were afraid of creating a circus-like appearance using too much of a mis-matched blue so we opted to use the Pacific Blue color-line only on the dash and arm rests, keeping the seats all black (Punch leather, in our case). Now that it's here, we feel it was the best decision for us as it seems to be a non-issue anymore; meaning just enough "blue" for continuity & impact without calling attention to the off-shade. Just an opinion, YMMV; everybody's different. HTH. Good Luck with your decision!
I see on your little badge/picture thing that the laser blue color is very light. Is this what the laser blue color looks like? I thought it was a little darker. I've seen 2 colors that people call laser blue.

depending on the lighting, the color may look lighter or darker, which is the beauty of the laser blue metallic!

No, it's a little darker. That just happened to be the badge I copied, but I need to adjust the color of it making it deeper or find another to copy that's more accurate. Sorry for any confusion, although Laser Blue is a bit changeable depending on the lighting (like so many of the metallics). I'll try to get some pix up in my gallery soon.
