For the interior, black is your friend on a daily driver. Dirt and blue jeans will ruin the Silverstone interior with time unless you spend about as much time on maintaining the leather as you do driving the car.

As for the B&O I'll have to say I disagree with the previous post. I'm a producer/audio engineer, sound is what I do on a day-to-day and I have to say I sadly found the B&O (which I usually love) to be a waste of money. The stock sound system is very good on these cars, my only gripe being the drop in bass response incurred as you turn up the volume, but this is a feature most car manufacturers use to protect the speakers from damage. The B&O seems to suffer from a bit less bass drop-off as the volume rises, it also has a somewhat more even sound distribution through the cabin, but the overall difference in sonic quality throughout the frequency spectrum is minimal at best, as a $3,000+ it is definitely no worth it and falls short as the "hi-fi" option. I would recommend you opt for another more useful option like the competition or executive package. Anyways, good luck, and keep us posted on your hunt for your new beast.
I agree on your assessment of the B&O sound. In addition I saw a car audio shop pull it apart and the drivers/amp are not any different than the standard stereo. In other words the speakers are all B&O but behind the scenes buried in the trunk its not B&O hardware. I would spend the money on exec package for sure.
