(E90) Official Monaco Blue E90 Thread

Congrats for your new Monaco Blue 335i!

Maxtor · 02-15-2009, 08:31 AM

The Saddle interior looks nice with the Monaco.

Another colour option that got changed is that Lemon (which I have) has been replaced by Oyster. Beautiful colour but not quite as unique as the Lemon. Better for the Barrett-Jackson Auction when my grand kids sell my car down the road.

I so love driving this.. It made the hair on my arms raise as I shifted from 2-3rd.. So much fun.

little_croco · 04-12-2009, 09:17 PM

Congratulations Mike

You should feel the same for 3rd-4th, 4th-5th, and/or 5th-6th

Mikeymoo · 04-13-2009, 06:10 PM

Oh yeah I totally do. Its so much fun to drive.. I live in a city so I gotta get out and try it at highway speeds....

little_croco · 04-15-2009, 10:41 AM

that's cool! we over here only get so-called highways not long enough to dash our lovely E9x for more than 10 seconds...

Some quick snapshots I took after installing my Blacklines and MB grilles. Also shown: tinted sidemarkers, 30% Llumar ATX tint & debadge.

looks very nice, thanks for sharing!

a good example to me for putting Matte Black grilles onto Monaco Blue, something I am thinking for long time...

Thanks!

You should definitely do it. I was a little skeptical at first as I thought gloss black would look best, but the matte actually blends with the lower mesh fairly well, and makes the front end a hell of a lot more aggressive

I love the MB even tho it's a pain to keep clean. I love the comments about how ppl cant tell if its black or blue if it isnt sunny out. The 1st pic is before I got my PI 35 tints.

little_croco · 07-09-2009, 09:09 PM

lovely!

Marcumac · 09-03-2009, 08:00 PM

2010 335xi with sport

Craig@SupremePower · 01-10-2010, 12:24 AM

congrats..

ellipsis212 · 01-12-2010, 11:18 AM

what color amber-gones does anyone recommend for this color? i'm thinking etched glass would give it the most euro look

Marcumac · 01-12-2010, 02:45 PM

If you're talking about the silver looking Ambergones, they look terribly out of place IMHO. Solid color vinyl over clear headlamps just looks awkward, I have Gunsmoke and love it. (see above)

edit: On second thought, I can see what you mean by euro look, they give the illusion of the euro housings without the amber, so I will allow it.

alexmish · 01-16-2010, 09:53 AM

I thought this thread needs LCI pics update...

alexmish · 01-16-2010, 09:55 AM

and more

little_croco · 01-21-2010, 01:22 AM

smell the new car... thanks for sharing!

magbarn · 03-05-2010, 11:55 AM

Just picked up a 2010 Monaco Blue 335d with oyster/light burl
See the interior thread for the interior pics. Love the car so far!

little_croco · 03-05-2010, 12:24 PM

congrats! the rims look nice!

Maxtor · 03-17-2010, 05:27 PM

3 years after I got my car I am ready to post pictures (I am a bit of a procrastinator). Monaco Blue over Lemon with Light Poplar. Beautiful.

Anyways, this one is going back to BMW (unless someone steps into my lease). Debating whether to get a 2010 in Monaco again over Oyster or a 2011 Deep Blue Sea over Black.

Thanks to all who posted pictures of their cars in this thread 3 years ago and helped a newbie choose the best colour combo for me.
