My New E91 Individual Combo

mickym · 08-06-2006, 04:52 PM

May be that some of you are interessted in my individual combo or in my car in gerneral. I have not seen this combo here and perhaps some of you have interest in this combo (even though this combo can not be ordered in the US

) and have only seen pictures from the configurator or the catalogue. The car is 2 weeks old.

Outside: Ruby Black
Interior: Oxyd Brown with Piano Black Trims

Front:

The ruby black color changes dependend on the light.

From the distance and in shadow it is dark black - slightly darker than sapphire because there are less silver shining particles in the paint.

Between 2 E92 - on the left side also a 330d E92 and on the right side an 335(i or d).

and yesterday I have detailed my car with carnuba wax (2 times)

In sunlight - especially in the evening the exterior looks like the red of a ruby, in artifical light (flash light) it turns to purple.

It is difficult to fix this in pictures.

In the evening:

In full sun light:

Look amazing! Can you take some interior shots as well?

Wow amazing! I wish that color was available here.

mickym · 08-06-2006, 05:42 PM

Here the contrast between exterior and interior:

First with the open roof to see shadow and sun on the leather

and then from the drivers side:

Very tasteful! I really like the individual color combo and it is a rare one on this site!

mickym · 08-06-2006, 06:01 PM

Now impressions from the interior:

The working place:

From Birds perspective:

From Frogs perspective:

More details:

and the last is the right rear passenger seat:

I hope this gives an impression.

This thread should not start a discussion about taste - but I hope you enjoy the pictures.

This is also an individual option: The leather is different and you have a ring of wood in it - which correspondes to the trim (piano black) or when you order other trims then it matches the corresponding wood (trim color).

remmib · 08-06-2006, 06:31 PM

Are there any leather on the dashboard, or should I have my eyes check

SP330 · 08-06-2006, 06:32 PM

I always wanted to see Ruby Black in real life photos. Its Gorgeous. Easily the best E91 out there in my opinion.

You are right - on the bottom of dashboard - the glove box and sides of the console in the middle is also leather - but you can have this also without. The top of the dashboard is standard. You can see the difference where the cup holders plug in module is inserted.

KL2DC · 08-06-2006, 06:42 PM

Wow! Wow! Wow! Amazing car. Lovely color. Beautiful interior. Thanks for sharing pics. Looks like you weren't shy with the options list, that's one fully loaded 330xd. How much is that?

Jibber · 08-06-2006, 06:43 PM

Wow that's an amazing E91. Great colors. I'm envious!

Btw what style rims are those?

These rims are also individual. It is called V152 and is equal to all series from 3series to 7 series. They are 18" with 225 front and 255 back - but I really notice less comfort with Run Flats in comparison to my old E46 with normal tires and much more noisy.

@KL2DC

I have to work a lot for the car - if you understand.

mickym · 08-06-2006, 06:57 PM

To finish here is the picture of the rim:

vladinecko · 08-06-2006, 07:01 PM

that is a really nice black! not really a fan of the interior color though...

tbensous · 08-06-2006, 07:21 PM

This is really one of the most beautiful E9x ever... Wonderful combo... I love ruby black and the full leather.

You took pretty much all options looking at the car... You were not tempted by the M package ? That would have been very nice with this color.
