I like the Terra, but I don't know about the Terra/Burl combo. Terra would look better with the aluminum trim i.m.h.o.

Ghenges · 07-08-2006, 12:31 PM

Damn...definitely one of the hottest color out there.

Nice tint, blends well

MB330 · 11-25-2006, 08:40 PM

Thank You! I think that this color is very good much with tint.

Certainly Monaco is one of the most interesting colors, is like having more than one color depending on the light conditions.

Is this your car? Please post more pics- Im considering this exact same combo.

Mr. Smith · 11-27-2006, 03:47 PM

i definitely like the Montego blue a lot more

250XFOS · 11-28-2006, 11:39 AM

Hey, G80, here you go. The color of the leather is actually darker in real life and looks wonderful.

MB330 · 11-28-2006, 03:07 PM

O, Man!!!
It look soooooo

!
Any more pic from ED? Where did you go?

250XFOS · 11-28-2006, 04:37 PM

Hi NIV, From Munich to Prague to Vienna, To small mountain town in Austria called St. Wolfgang, to Small town in Italy called Bolzano, then to Zurich through the Italian and Swiss Alps. Is the best experience you can have on your car besides the great savings. Here a couple more pics.

Where are all the new Monaco E90's? All I see is E92's.

250XFOS · 11-29-2006, 03:25 PM

E90TOAD , E90's 335 are rare still, I have not seen one around yet. But have no doubts you have choosen the best color !!!. Enjoy.

Maybe I'll be the 1st with the E90 335i.

Lassaxi · 12-05-2006, 07:46 AM

I must have looked through this thread about 100 times. One thing that I keeps striking me is how good the double-spoke style wheels look with this color. Even the stock 16" rims look decent with this dark blue. On the other hand, the star-spoke styles, which I usually prefer, seem off to me somehow on Monaco. Anyone else have any thoughts on wheel styles with Monaco?

BigO1120 · 12-08-2006, 08:14 AM

After looking at all the Monacos...I'm glad I got mine in Montego. Sorry!

Monaco is indeed stylish, but only in the brightest light. Mostly it looks just schoolbookblue. I guess I'll go for SG.

g80 · 12-08-2006, 12:29 PM

I dont know if montego looks better in person, but Ive yet to see a nice looking montego 335i in pics- and I have a 330ci in topaz

F30Toad · 12-08-2006, 02:52 PM

No, it doesn't.

I really wanted Mystic when the E90 first came out but waited for the 335 once I heard about it. When Montego replaced it, I thought I would get that instead. I was disappointed when I saw it in person, in bright light it had just the slightest amount of purple in it although I like it in darker situations. I think it is a good color for the coupe and the Z4's I've seen it on, but it doesn't suit the E90 imo.

I ended up going with Monaco since the E90 looks so good in darker colors, even though I tend to like cars with a bit more color. Really stunning in full daylight and classy looking at night.
