We'll be placing an order for my wife's i3 in the next few weeks (as soon dealers get their allocations here in the USA), and the only choice my wife has yet to decide is color. I threw together this graphic from the USA configuration site http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/content/byo/byohome.aspx?namodelcode=14IB so she can see the choices side by side:

They are out of the order presented on BMW's site because they are listed by personal preference top left to bottom, then top right to bottom. Note that the Laurel Grey is actually darker than the Arrivani grey in real life, and is why it is our top choice - minimizes contrast with the black hood, top, and hatch.

We'll be spending an hour or two sometime next week at the dealer checking out how these colors appear on current BMW stock before making a decision. The graphics are only so helpful...

Wow, this is very cool and very helpful. Thanks for sharing!
 
Ultra turtle, that's an excellent post, very helpful for those yet to choose their colour!

Have you picked your interior yet! Maybe you'll produce a similar graphic!

No use to us though, our Solar Orange car with Loft arrives next week!

Just so you know, my dealer informed me that not a single one of these colors is used on other BMWs. They are all unique to the i3, so don't waste your time looking for them on other cars in the showroom.

We drive cars for 10 or more years (current ride is 13 years old, but it's a BMW and the damned thing just won't break), which makes leather the only practical interior option for us. No decision for us to make, but I'll try to carve out some time to put something together for you over the next few days.
