Ordering on Friday.. interior color combos?

Curious Joel · 01-11-2007, 06:32 PM

Hi, everyone. I'm new here. I drive a 2003 E46 330xi. I've put nearly 123,000 miles on it, so it's time for something new. So far, the car I'm ordering looks like this:
2007 335i Coupe
6-speed manual
Sport Package
Park Distance Control
Premium Package
Comfort Access
Nav/iDrive

I'm stuck on the color combination though. I was originally going to go with Sparkling Graphite/Gray leather/ Light poplar
However, I saw a Montego Blue coupe at the dealer and fell in love with the color. I can't decide what to get for the interior though. Black is out. I think cream beige is too light. I'm deciding between Saddle Brown and Gray, with Light Poplar. Which goes better with Montego? The dealer had no Saddle examples, so I couldn't see it in person. I love its looks in the brochure, but I'm concerned about what it looks like in person. Opinions?

TIA,
CJ

I'm getting a stick. I'm not a huge fan of automatics. I also don't like aluminum trim.. I prefer the wood.

If I was getting a coupe I'd get Space Gray (or AW) with Coral and Gray Poplar..... That sh$t is hot. That's a pretty common color combo though.

Anyway, the saddle is a nice looking color though... and I think blue would look good with the saddle.

I think that I'm going to go with the saddle. Hopefully they'll have an example on hand when I go on Friday, so I can see it in person.

yes they do have samples, in the books and manuals. cut, and match. walk around the lot till you like a color combo. browse the color thread on this forum. and call back the next morning......space gray is awesome and only on coupes...
