In comparison, I've lost count of the number of threads where people say "I have a 325i sport with all the factory options including a built-in Fleshlight, but I'd swap it all for something in Calypso Red."

I would love a brown Fleshlight :)

The metallic brown is a stunning colour, but you'd need to do it properly including underbonnet and in the boot. Vermillion red metallic (current 3 and 6 Series) is a lovely colour as well. Calypso is alright but it was pretty dull 20 years ago.
