New member - help with colour choice for 335i MSport

Em135eye · 08-13-2010, 07:17 AM

Space grey - very easy to keep looking clean.

I like my Sapphire Black Touring a lot but it takes a lot of very frequent cleaning to keep it tip top. Only recommended if you have a good set up for washing your car every few days!

Bluewater with Coral Red leather is (IMO) a lovely combination. Does not sound all that, but looks great in the flesh

peterg1965 · 08-13-2010, 11:20 AM

White.... which dealer are you buying from

EddieL · 08-13-2010, 01:07 PM

I chose White.
My last car was White.
My next car will be......... White

Not because it is fashionable, but because IMO it best shows the car. I can't wiat till it goes out of fashion so I am the only guy left with a white car.

One of my passtimes is detailing so being dirty ain't a problem. Hides swirls better than any colour anyway.

How'S the liz hurleys

grant1987 · 08-14-2010, 01:57 AM

Id say sparkling graphite but then again im biased

Saw a 59 plate e92 in this colour this week, must be a bmw individual colour, either way it looked horid, just dont do this to your e9x

Thanks for all of the views and comments

I'm going down to the dealer to confirm the spec later today

At the moment I think it's going to be Space Grey with red leather

Good choice!

I agree that Space Grey and Coral Red Leather is a very attractive and smart combination.

But I came across another combination that I like very much. I snapped this E92 on the BMW stand at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last month

I had not seen the colour before and really like it. Even my wife liked it and she is not easy to please (certainly not when it involves any sort of colour).

The BMW guy said the colour was Vermillion, but I have been unable to find this colour on the BMW website car configurator, so I'm not sure whether it is available or not. The seats were Oyster leather which look great combined with the Vermillion exterior and the black carpets and door and dashboard trim.

In my opinion I think a sapphire black 335 with coral red leather would stand out much more than space grey with coral red leather but the bad thing about having black is keeping it looking clean.

Nonrev · 08-14-2010, 05:38 PM

Well I finally decided on Space Grey with red leather

Thanks for everyones comments and views.

I now only have to wait until early Oct for it to arrive

What colour trim did you choose for the dash and door panels?

You can spec this colour on the BMW configurator - I've just specced it for my new E90 320D ED due in December

Thanks for uploading the pics as I am always on the look out for it now! Cannot wait. It was that or sapphire black and I am starting to think I made the right decision

Did you take anymore pics?

This guy in Spain chose the same colour : http://s855.photobucket.com/albums/a...view=slideshow

Am I right in presuming that it is being built from scratch for you? I placed my order earlier this week but haven't received a lead time for it yet. I heard that BMW production is closed until end of August so early October is good

Ant-E90msport · 08-15-2010, 10:32 AM

Le Mans Blue with oyster Leather interior

Nonrev · 08-20-2010, 04:17 PM

Yes it's being built from scratch but I think that the dealer already had one build slot reserved so that could explain why they have indicated it will be delivered in early Oct.
