Talking Multi-panel moonroof

Got a call from a dealer saying that the 330 I preordered with the multi-panel moonroof was in. I ordered it in crystal white/grey interior but it came in with ivory interior. I have an ivory interior now and don't like it. I made some calls to try to find another one within reasonable driving distance. I found one 1-1/2 Hrs away and another 3 Hrs away. THIS IS ONE HARD OPTION TO FIND!!! Went to go see the closest one but in flint mica/black interior(a color I haven't seen before). WOW!!! I have NEVER been one to like dark colors but this color is really sharp. It is so hard to describe so I won't. You have to see it for yourself. I think that the black interior will show less wear in the long run. The light gray is too light.
Now for the moonroof. With it open, it gives the 330 a feel like a convertible from the inside - pretty slick. When you open the moonroof, the panels stack on one another. There is also a sunshade that can be closed if you wish when the moonroof is closed.
I'm going to take the family to see it tomorrow to get their opinion. Oh, I forgot to mention, I put a deposit down on the car to hold it until Monday. I'm starting to get excited about this.

Bjorn,
I haven't seen this either. How much bigger is the opening compared to
the regular moonroof? My salesman claimed it was only a few inches.
I find it hard to believe they would go to all that trouble for a few extra
inches.

The opening is approx. 1.5 x the size of the regular moonroof and the light exposer is approx. 2.5 x that of the regular moonroof.
