It appears that the launch premier color for the 335i cab is platinum bronze so poo poo on those that hate beiges, browns etc.. BMW apparently believes it is a seller. Check out all of the pre-release pics of the cab...

Day it came home

Pix taken few minutes ago:

KL2DC · 11-17-2006, 08:14 AM

jundiz...pics are a little too dark to see but I can see that Sonora is pretty dynamic as well. In your pics its closer to yellowish gold but I have seen it irl closer to bronze gold. Nice.

What's with the exclamation mark warning?

I will try to get some pics outside this weekend. The exclamation mark came out as I tried to play with the computer by pressing the START button without starting the car.

The sonora is really not photogenic but IMO looks nice in IRL. Pics with flash does make it yellowish or maybe I just have a cheap camera (P100 Sony)

.

I got it friday morning and parked it . Drove it saturday to Philly roundtrip on NJTpke @ 80mph avg and garaged it till now as it might get sick from the rain. LOL.

Starting tomorrow it's mileage time again on the NJTpke. Bought this car without seeing it in IRL and NO test drive on the MT. Such faith in BMW! LOL. But it sure did produce some anxiety attacks with the 1.5 months of waiting.

I can now have all the "test drive" I want.

So far I am happy with the new "toy" and hoping to live happily ever after.

E90T · 11-17-2006, 12:32 PM

That color looks pretty good

primerate · 12-01-2006, 10:22 PM

The 335 Sonora will be at the port on Dec 8th with delivery by Dec 15th. I will post pics that week of the aweful Sonora.

buzzer · 12-08-2006, 04:47 PM

Jundiz, Could you post some more pictures. I'm interested in ordering an sonora colour, I didn't see one IR. More pictures are also hard to find.

noidea · 12-09-2006, 08:38 AM

I just ordered a sonora E90. I like the colour. I have seen too many black, grey, blue and silver around. But this sonora really catch me. It is so different. It change colour in different angle. I love it !

06330i · 12-09-2006, 10:49 PM

i like that color on the 330.

primerate · 12-10-2006, 06:55 PM

Well my Sonora 335 is in Charleston due in S FLA this week. I will post pics upon arrival. By the way my delaer called two days ago and asked if I was interested in "selling" the new car before arrival!! They know we are in no need of the car yet and they had a buyer that wanted to assume our order. I said no thanks. Anyone heard of that? I guess this color will be more popular than some think.

noidea · 12-10-2006, 07:36 PM

i hope this colour won't become popular because being different is cool

camera doesn't do justice of this colour. You have to see it in person under the sun and that sparkling gold will take your breath away.

Here are some pics on different shades of Sonora on a cloudy day and inside with flash (amateur pics of course

)

*** Wait for Primerate's sunny Florida pics with his E90 335i Sonora. ***

Again pics will not justify color as in actual (IRL). It does turns heads if you are the type that wants attention

.

I have not gotten any negative remarks on color yet. It is still

Cloudy day 57 deg F (reflects white and grey clouds) shade

--
Inside with flash (the Night shade)

Color shade changes depending on what it is reflecting i.e. greenish beige when reflecting green grass, etc. (a not so boring color )

Because you linked the pics in your text and additionally used the manage attachment-button to upload them directly to the e90post server!

Thanks Dante. So I should remove the pics from manage attachment before I submit post?

If you already uploaded the pics to e.g. imageshack or something, you just have to put links into the text (as you did). You don't have to use the manage attachement button in this case. The button is for uploading the pics from your harddrive directly to e90post servers.

You can also delete your uploaded pics via the manage attachment buttons.

tom333 · 12-12-2006, 02:37 PM

i wish there was more of this color out there

buzzer · 12-17-2006, 06:53 PM

Super, good pics. I'm still 'in' and I'll decide tomorrow: arktic or sonora... Primerate, any (sunny) pics?

primerate335 · 12-18-2006, 11:02 PM

Well the 335 Sonora is here and I am taking delivery tomorrow. I will post pics. Sorry for the screen name change but for some reason i was blocked out! I cannot understand that, we will chalk it up to server error!
