Pic request...04' 325ci with orient blue and sand interior...

[former230]

I think this is the color combo I want to get but haven't seen any pics of this on the board. Does anyone even have this combo on an 04 here? Could I be the first? : )

Thanks in advance for the pics!

Former, we must have similar tastes - I have an OB/Sand 04 325Ci sitting at the VPC in New York.

My car should be delivered in the next week, provided there is no shipping damage that needs to be repaired.

Cheers,
Don

Sand leather is nice but it gets dirty and looks old easily, u have to take care of it often... I like the Natural Brown leather better... I had Sand in my last car, '01 SB 330Ci...

True, but Sand leatherette is beauty without the pain. I had it for 12 years in my 1991 E30 318is. The day I sold it, it looked the same as the day I bought it, and I never EVER treated it. Wears like iron.

I have cars with leather now, and 'ette is a vast time/money saver. 100% of my passengers thought the E30 was leather. Not one passenger in more than a decade thought it was vinyl. Today's E46 leatherette is even more convincing since the surface more closely resembles leather.

YMMV.

Very nice combination.... i planned to buy my new '04 330Ci with sand interior , but changed to black due to my fear of been too much delicate..

Anyway , here You can see the combination You asked :

That looks great Aris! Congratulations on a beautiful choice!

However, Isn't that Mystic Blue? Orient Blue is usually much deeper.

My fault !!!
Yeah.. it's Mystic Blue and NOT Orient....

BTW , You are lucky in USA to have 'ette... very nice interior and not delicate as leather...

If avalaible maybe i would have chosen Sand 'ette too.....

You can see how BEAUTIFUL is this color on a black car , here... :
