(E90) Official Sonora E90 Thread

primerate335 · 12-24-2006, 11:45 PM

Will post pics by Wednesday. The 335 is great. We did a 400 mile road trip for the holidays in the past two days and got nothing but compliments on the color. WOW a BMW that is not silver, black or white and "this color is awesome". No exaggeration, it was interesting to hear from friends, relatives and strangers. Anyway it is going to storm here in S FLA tomorrow (Christmas) so I will get some pics posted this week. Time is of the essence because Sonora is gone in March! I am happy to have the only E90 335 Sonora in the US as far as I know so don't order one..This color is horrible!!

lol Anyone notice that most of the pics posted in this thread are cars parked on a dealership lot?

primerate335 · 12-29-2006, 11:44 PM

NOT MINE! Here are some pics of our new 335Sonora and our E46..

Greeney · 12-29-2006, 11:53 PM

Im surprised, I actually really like the way that looks.

jundiz · 01-02-2007, 02:29 PM

Here's mine - first with the stock 161's and then with AR1 wheels.

TK-421 · 07-01-2008, 10:37 PM

im surprised, but i really like it. it brings out the luxury side of the e9x

i still like the sporty side of it better tho

threeOZ · 06-27-2009, 04:13 PM

I picked this up last week for my wife. I think the color is very luxurious with the right wheels. The stock 156 wheels look very pedestrian, but the new ASA AR1s add a touch of class.

Here is mine, with Breyton wheels and smoked tail lights

It is an extremely rare color and at least as difficult to photograph it properly. Almost impossible IMHO.
It looks very different under every kind of light. In cloudy weather it looks pretty awesome, but it can be ugly in sunlight

Even so I am driving it currently in Switzerland and while I do not like it to 100% most people actually do to my surprise! It catches everybody's eyes

As far as I know this color was only available for 1 or 1.5 years, because nobody wanted the have it

It's a 2006 330i. I bought it from an 80 years old man who drove it only 20k miles in 7.5 years.

I am considering changing the black leather dakota to "Oyster" to give it a more luxurious touch.

Nebraska330xi · 05-05-2015, 11:37 PM

The worst part about the color is the chrome look kidneys against it. I have learned to really like the color and do get complements on it often.
