Should BMW offer a navy soft top for their convertibles?

Maybe I am crazy but I have always loved the look of a navy soft top on my convertibles. My last three convertibles before I purchased my Z4 last year all had navy soft tops. IMHO, navy looks great on white, silver, some darker grey and most shades of blue cars.

Would you consider order a navy top if it was offered as an option?

Roughly $1.62 v. $1.67. I'd want to spend if Individual Manufaktur was available to do something like this in the Z4:

I looked at what Mercedes charges for their dark blue soft top.

On their C 300 & AMG C43 cabriolets they offer dark blue and red tops at no extra cost.

On their E 450 & AMG E53 cabriolets they offer dark blue and dark red tops at no extra cost.

The dark blue top is not an option on their AMG GT Roadsters but they do offer beige and red as well as the standard black.

The build option for their SL Roadsters is not available yet.

Frankly for BMW to charge $5675 for a blue top on a $167,000 car when MB doesn't charge anything for that type of color is outrageous!

Probably because no one wants it.

So far more than 1/3 of the responses to the poll are interested in a blue top.
