1st and last Color thread..Promise

On the brink of submitting my 335is order but color choice has not been decided & since the selection is some what limited how about a suggestion?? In the past have worn the Space and Titanium Silver along with Jet Black now currently in AW..Thanks people.

A stunning car deserves a stunning color, therefore I vote Le Mans Blue or Crimson Red. g/l

Alpinweiss is elegant, yet sporty. It is also a very practical color in hotter climates (may not apply to CT). Finally, it is one of the few free colors.

Did you ever narrow down your choice for the interior? That is sometimes the decision maker.

I didn't realize that you could still order a 335is. It's a great car and I'm sure you will enjoy it.

We test drove a LeMans Blue with a Saddle Brown Dakota Leather interior and it was really spectacular. I have the silver with black interior (silver is easy to maintain), but if I had to do it over again, I'd get this combination.

I was just as surprised as yourself and as soon as I found out this great info. and really really good deals going it was an easy choice since i will not purchase an F30(Bad looks not so good drive) Beden often admired yours in titanium and love the easy upkeep and interior options much more flexible.Thanks for the reply

Hey Kat..If I choose a color such as Crimson or Lemans I will return to the gloom of black interior but if it's Sapphire Black/Titanium/Mineral I could go off my nut and take the Coral Red! Sound crazy??

The coral red, IMO, is too bright. I love the red interior in our M3 (space grey exterior) but it's more of a brick color. But hey, it's your car and yours to enjoy.

I polished my 335is yesterday and took it for an extended ride. This car is definitely a keeper!

Beden's sugggestion of Lemans Blue/Saddle Brown is really stunning. Had I known in 2009 how beautiful that combination played out, there is a really good chance my current E93 wouldn't be Space Gray.

DSXMachina's E92 is TiAg/Saddle Brown. I've seen it in person and it's a very sharp combination.

If I were leasing (i.e. short term exposure) vs owning (long term exposure) I might jump for the Coral Red interior in a heart beat. As you probably know, Coral Red in person is a very rich pure red. With Black/TiAG/MW it would be truly stunning.

(Let me know if I'm helping here!)

Based on your previous cars, you seem to gravitate to the grayscale for exterior colors i.e. Black - Gray - Silver - White.

Based on your leanings here are the combo's I'd do in no favorite order:

Crimson/Black (Classic - My dad's 1957 356 Porsche in this livery inspired my 1994 Honda Civic Coupe - I drove it for 15 years and never tired of the combination)

Lemans/Saddle Brown Very eye-catching and not very common.

Sapphire Black/Saddle Brown or Sapphire Black/Red Can't go wrong with either, it's just a matter of how much love and attention you want to give that black exterior.

TiAg/Space Gray/MW or AW are a bit more low key and work very well if you like to fly just under the RADAR. Go wild with your interior choice. It's a coupe!

That's a sharp combination. The interior color from your picture looks like what I remembered in person. It looks more like brown baseball glove leather, doesn't it?

In pothole heaven (New England and New York) I'd go with 18" wheels. You run too much risk of tire and wheel damage with19" wheels. The greater the sidewall, the less risk. If you still prefer the look of 19" wheels, buy the tire insurance.

This is what i fear..A bent/cracked rim!! Hear ya on the roads up here but the 19's look that much better and regretted passing them up last time around but believe the 313's are forged which kind of encourages me but nothing bullet proof on the N.East roads as you well know...Thanks

I, too< have the lemans and saddle, everybody loves the combo.......the saddle pops off the blue.......

You can't go wrong with any of these suggestions. If it were me I'd go AW/Saddle. I've never had a white car and it looks sharp on the E92. Plus after have a dark car for sevelal years, easier upkeep woul be nice Since you currently have AW you probably want something different for a change. My choice 2 would be LeMans. Another sharp color! I really like the saddle interior though, and would get that again without a second thought. After 5 years I still love the color.

Good luck with the new car!!

Trust me i'm spoiled by the lighter colors and the minimum upkeep which was the reason for my previous choices and current ride...I admire some of the darker colors such as the Lemans/Sapphire but do I really need to slave again??Maybe when all is said and done I'll return to my practical side,LOL.Maybe Mineral White?? Thanks for the response

LeMans + Saddle would be sharp, but I'm very happy with my LeMans/CoralRed.

lemans /oyster if u are 1337
