Color Combo?

Would love to see some real life/up close photos of these color combos!

Long story short, my lease is up in about a year, but I'll be abroad in London all next Spring and so I'm going to be contacting my dealer shortly about either extending my current lease or ending it early and getting another M.

I currently have a '15 MG/SO M3 ... by the time I'm in the market again, I'll probably be looking at an '18 M3 ZCP.

Before my M, I had a MW/Coral Red 335is. Loved that combo, and really thinking about going back to it for my next car (Mineral White/Sakhir Orange interior).

However... I've really taken a liking to the SO II exterior... and I'd probably pair it with Silverstone interior.

I've pretty much always had red interiors and I love that style... but I wouldn't do SO/SO...

Thoughts?

Out of the colors you've posted, I'd go with the Sakhir Orange / Silverstone Interior!

Watch this video if you wanna see that color combo:

Sakhir exterior looks like it can't decide whether it is red or orange. If you like SO interior, pair it with classic Alpine White exterior.

That's what makes it such a great color!!

Go with Sakhir. I had one SO/SO and I just ordered another but this time with SS interior. I had to go back to it. Simply a showstopper color.

AW/MW on Sakhir always looks good! If I were doing Sakhir exterior I would do black interior with the black 666M wheels

I knew this would be a tough decision. The poll/these replies aren?t making it easier ... good thing I have time and can enjoy my MG/SO for now! ?

To make things more complicated, allow me to throw in my YMB with SO interior just for kicks

I never actually ~loved~ YMB. I honestly don't think I could live with it daily.

I am definitely more of a White/Grey/Black person with a loud interior when it comes to cars... but something about Sakhir really caught my eye.
AY is a little *too* in your face for me, but there is something understated yet elegant about SO (at least to me... I could just be crazy).

Go with SO but get the matching SO full leather interior. I've had mine since November 2014 and I still love it!!

ssuene93 · 07-21-2017, 03:22 AM

SO and Full SO leather here.

SO W/ Black is better or MW W/ SO
