Wow I am really surprised to hear of so many electron blue manuals with oak. I would have though for sure it would have been a very rare combo. Guess not. Congrats on the new car. Mine is an 02 Eb black M6.

Its great to find just what you want, and not have to settle for "almost the one".
It took us a year and a half to find exactly the C5 we wanted. Of course it was 3000 miles away from home.
2002 yellow/black convert, 30k miles, A4, all options but still has the std 2.73 rear axle and no mods except a Corsa exhaust

Excellent color choice; good luck your world class sports car.

I have a 2000, 6 speed, Torch Red Convertible and it's world class to me!
