So I looked at some used ones... They have an option for these two-tone interior seats. It looks OK to decent on the front seats, but on the back seats? An absolute eye sore. I was shocked by how bad it looks. SOOOOOO bad. It seems most of the ones bought were optioned with those horrible color combinations too, which makes it harder to find a decent used one.
I am still holding on for this one M550 to finish through CPO and take a look at it, to make sure its good. In the meantime I am looking at used M850s and used M3c, just in case something pops up.
I didn't think I was that picky on colors until doing this search...

Currently in the same situation...have a 2019 440i and am looking at possibly trading up to a used 840i or M850i (ideally loaded with all options to make the switch worth it). Love the B58 in my car but not sure if I want that again if I go up to an 8, especially since the car is much heavier. I've gone down the rabbit hole of researching the N63 engine...hard to tell whether a lot of the negative reviews are referencing the original N63 from 10+ years ago that were notorious for many problems , or the TU engines. TU3 does generally seem to be getting positive feedback. I'll likely be purchasing the BMW extended warranty again if I do end up with the M850i for peach of mind.
Which two-tone interior did you not like? Fiona red/black or another like Tartufo/black? I don't think I can do all black again, but I need to see Fiona Red/black in person sometime.
