I wanted a white 330ci with tannin red so bad that I saved up the money for one and now I can't get one (brand new). Now I am having a hard time with this decision of what to order. I wish I could still get what I really want.

Well, the good news is that it can be ordered as a 'special order' item. The really bad news is that it will cost you $4,000 to pull it off (ouch).:yikes: :yikes:

We can only hope the BMW AG will return it to the lineup one day soon and offer it to those of us who really dig it. It definitely has accumulated quite a cult following, but it will never compete against black, sand or gray because it's just too liberal.

Here's a pretty accurate picture that I hope won't tease you too much.

Mike, sell her your's and go get that steel/imola M3 cabrio you're dying for.

 

[Lori]

would that be $4000 over and above the $1450 for leather of is it $4000 total for tannin red leather and black interior?

I ordered an Alpine White / Tanin Red 330Cic for a client
two years ago; it looked so sweet!

 

[Lori]

sorry guys that tannin red made my laptop overheat and it shut down for a while. I need to fix the little fan in it. That alpine white with tannin is enought to make me go out and make the extra doe ray me. I am going to save that pic to my desktop. Got any more? Thank you for keeping hope alive!

Sorry the quality's not so good...

I was wondering why there was no moonroof. I want a 330ci do you think my dealer would get it for me ith tannin red or is that a pita for all involved.

That's because it's a 330Cic with the optional hardtop...

I imagine that getting Tanin now would be a major PITA...

 

[Lori]

Ya I figured out the hardtop when I saw the full picture. It does look very nice though.

 

[Lori]

so Jon,
Being that the tannin red is out what would you recomend that would carry the same impact.Jet black with natural? What are your thoughts on ordering the pp options ala cart with no myrtle wood so I get titanium trim. I saw the pic of the steel gray like that. What did it look like in person? Did you like it? Did it all blend nicely?

 

[Lori]

does anyone know when BMWUSA will put up 2003 info on thier web site?

 

[Mr. The Edge]

probably this week. Last year the site got updated with 2002 info on September 25

 

[Lori]

Thanks I'll keep checking.

 

[postoak]

Why not order leatherette in any color and then get aftermarket leather? I think you can get aftermarket leather that is better quality than BMW leather.

 

[Lori]

I thought about that but then they would have to do they door panels and other panels too. I also wouldn't know who to take it to. I know there alot of people that can do interiors but how do I know who to trust with my car. They would probably scrach it or do a lousy job or something. From my experience with other things like houses and boats and decks and furniture it just seems like you can't get excellent results unless you do it yourself. I set very high standards and am very often disappointed.
