Who's with me?

Jay_328 · 10-19-2006, 02:23 PM

Who has a car on order and is now questioning the color and options that you chose? Every time I see a different color I think ... maybe I should have ordered that one.

Fess up guys, I know I'm not alone.

I am definitely with you on this one. I was sure when I ordered the 335i coupe that space gray/black leather/aluminum trim was the right color combo. Now every time someone posts a picture I find myself saying 'oh man the car looks amazing in that color'. I don't know if it is just the lighting of some of the pictures or the quality of the cameras taking some of these pics but I definitely feel your pain on this one.

I'm sort of with you.. I like my interior choices.. Just not sure about the exterior color. I like Sparkling Graphite but my original choice was Monaco Blue. I switched away from that because it would be harder to keep clean then the graphite where I live (it rains A LOT up here). I still like the Monaco better since my car is on a boat already I cant change now!

Jay_328 · 10-19-2006, 02:59 PM

I actually changed my order on site.

I never even considered SG until I saw it on the dealer's lot. ...always had my mind set on AW but I changed it then and there. Deep down I know the coupe will look sweet in whatever color. ..but still

Since day one I knew I was going with montego blue. Its almost the same color of my truck (2003 lightning sonic blue). One thing I have noticed I have yet to see pictures of montego blue with black leather and grey poplar.

SG is super nice, its gonna be pretty once it comes... whens it coming again?

tommithy · 10-19-2006, 04:26 PM

is that Space Gray for Jay or Sparkling Graphite? Both are SG

bobnaz · 10-19-2006, 04:56 PM

Went with TiAg w/blk. Been thinking about black since I saw that French video. Also I am having regrets about not getting CA.

My current car is AW/ Black/ Alum and I love it but I also wanted something different. So Sparkling Graphite will be the color this time around. I hope I made the right decision. Should have it late Nov. or early Dec.

... sparkling graphite ...... i need to fix that

jeffnin · 10-19-2006, 11:01 PM

You're not alone. I changed my color choice 4 times in 4 weeks; thought my CA was going to shoot me. Started with MB/Gray, then went to SGraph/Gray, then SGraph/Saddle, and then threw caution to the wind and ended up with AW/Red. Car completed production today, so no more changes!

rrandyy · 10-20-2006, 12:38 AM

I'm definitely with you

disden · 10-20-2006, 05:52 AM

I understand this problem and lived it! I originally ordered my ED with Sparkling Graphite because the pictures in the brochure looked great! However, it burned away at me b/c I have always wanted a Silver. Finally saw a SG car in a parking lot and it looked purple, so I called immediately changed order to TiAG. No regrets now!

Greeney · 10-20-2006, 05:54 AM

The day after I ordered I went to the dealer to change the car to Black Saphire, but it was already in production. Everytime I see a Black e90 I always say DAMN it looks awesome in that color. But tbh, I couldnt be more happy with what I chose to begin with. Its just like taking a test always go with your gut reaction and you cant go wrong!

Good luck and SG is a KICK ass color.
