(E90) Official Monaco Blue E90 Thread

Got lucky with the weather and picked it up today.

MacAttack · 12-30-2006, 06:31 PM

Looks clean! Love those rims! Congrats!

This is my E90 320i SE in Monaco blue. I prefer it to black as it makes the bodykit stand out and makes it obviously not an M sport. A bodykit on a car of this color is unique.

Looks good

pawarrant · 01-10-2007, 05:30 PM

Nice!

Dumb question but how do you post a new thread?

DE-badged now.

F30Toad · 02-16-2007, 09:19 AM

Great looking car paddyrx8. Would love to see pictures on a clear day so the blue comes out more in the pics.

paddyrx8 · 02-17-2007, 04:09 AM

Thanks. Are you planning any exterior mods? I love your interior.

Hope to take some pics during the summer. Its hard to get the true color of Monaco blue on camera. I'm going to try to take some pics under spotlights which seem to bring the color our more.

I like that monaco blue is very dark (even looks black sometimes) but not so dark that you can't see the lines and features. The E90 of the month for example in some of the pictures is just a big black thing from the front, you can't see the front spoiler, grille etc. Ive also noticed some cars with black wheels, blacked out lights etc. Its almost impossible to see the car, plus they also look a bit Knight industries 2000, come on the HOFF.

MI6 · 02-17-2007, 01:01 PM

E90 TOAD, how did you get a Lemon interior for a US Spec 335???? This is not available in the U.S...................

the_fox · 02-19-2007, 12:40 PM

Lemon IS available in the US, it's a priority 1 option (meaning you have to order it, you won't find it on the dealer's lot).

Thanks, I love the Lemon, best choice I made, besides the E90 part.

The only exterior mod I'm doing is to put some replica front splitters painted in Monaco. I ordered them through a GB on this site. Hopefully they will get here soon, it has been a couple month wait. Other than that, I am really happy with the look of the car. For next winter I may also put some mud flaps on to keep the sides from getting so caked with dirt, but that is only a maybe.

My car hasn't been photo clean since I got it. Once it warms up a bit I'll detail it and try to get some better pics as well.

MI6, I think you got your answer in another thread. If not just PM me.

F30Toad · 02-24-2007, 12:49 PM

A few new pictures I took this week.

paddyrx8 · 02-25-2007, 01:38 AM

Looks great. I like the contrast between the dark blue and the lemon seats and that its a 335i. If it was me I would have a few mods in mind. Don't know if they're legal where you live but clear front lights and black line rear lights are something I would fit. Then probably front splitters and a rear spoiler. That's just my personal taste, car looks great as is.

Thanks.

Painted splitters are a week away.

Besides that, I am really happy with the rest of the car. Actually, I think I am one of the few that like the orange reflectors in the front lights, so no need to change for me.

The next thing I want is some track wheels and tires. Since I had to buy snows and the rims for them, the track wheels will have to wait. Maybe next year.

Took delivery in Germany on 22 February. Monaco Blue with Beige Dakota Leather & Dark Burl Walnut Trim / Steptronic / Sports/Premium/Cold Packages / Navigation / Comfort Access / Rear Park Distance Control / Rear Electric Sunshade. I've added a BMWCCA members decal, a TireRack winter sports tire package, and chrone exhaust tips so far.

My thanks to all the contributors to these forums for the education I've gained reading through them these past months.

Great pics Bandit6! The first one is my new desktop background!

Bandit6 · 03-13-2007, 09:04 PM

Thanks, the_fox. As luck would have it, the rain and clouds parted right after I took delivery so I was able to snap a few good photos while she was still immaculate.
