More important...exterior or interior color?

slubu · 01-11-2008, 05:16 PM

Exterior I want Montego. Interior I want Coral. Which one do I compromise??? I would say interior I think because I am inside the car more often than outside.

Or dare I say...Superman?

I really have no idea what to do. It would be either Montego/Saddle/Alum, or TIAG/Coral/Alum. Superman is in the back of the race.

It would be very cool if BMW let us have Jade Gray in March.

keysopendoors · 01-11-2008, 05:21 PM

in the words of soulja boy...

SUPERMAN THAT HO!

If you're really set on coral go with white, black, gray or silver. Montego looks really good with saddle or black...cant really go wrong.

slubu · 01-11-2008, 05:24 PM

Hahaha, seriously that is the song that goes through my head everytime I think about Superman.

And yes, Montego Saddle or Silver Coral. I just don't know which.

Rimola · 01-11-2008, 05:28 PM

i am thinking AP and saddle...

wj4 · 01-11-2008, 05:31 PM

I would rock the Superman combo. If you like it, then who cares. But if you must compromise...I'd go with the saddle interior with aluminum trim.

bspaceman · 01-11-2008, 05:32 PM

Leasing or buying?
Are you planning to resell in a few years?
Personally, the red coral is "young" to put it politely.
I would go with Black leather or Saddle. Saddle looks great when paired with blues.
If you are leasing get what you want, if you are buying but see yourself selling within 10 years I would play conservative.
If you are buying and never see yourself selling then go for the red.

I'm 57 years young and have the coral. If you're leasing, it doesn't matter. But other than the "superman combo" the coral will appeal to enough buyers that it will not be hard to resell. But black will hold up better and show less dirt and scuff marks.

slubu · 01-11-2008, 05:36 PM

Lease or buy would depend on the money factors available in March-May (pickup in May). I have terra currently and favor it over saddle, and probably why I don't want saddle (seems like a poor man's terra to me).

But yeah, I would never buy the Superman combo. I would never be able to sell it.

slubu · 01-11-2008, 05:36 PM

Can't do black or grey interior.

Roowah · 01-11-2008, 05:53 PM

Tough question for me to answer, although I completely understand wanting to avoid the "superman" combo. Interior and exterior color and trim was very important to me, which is why I ordered it. I wanted to be happy both walking up to the car and driving it.

LEDZEP · 01-11-2008, 06:19 PM

What is better... nice breasts, or great legs? Please someone help me find out what my personal preferences are...

Maxtor · 01-11-2008, 06:21 PM

If you are going sedan then go with Montego over Lemon. Cool exterior colour and cool interior colour... no Superman issues. If you are going coupe then try the creamy beige. Lighter colour interiors make the car look more unusual. If you love the coral then go Monaco or Black for the exterior.

All that said... the car is great to drive regardless of colour! Good luck.

just4kickz · 01-11-2008, 06:26 PM

both. i wish i could get red leather

hmm...Monaco over Coral? Ive never even though about that, anyone have pics of that combo. I know its not very well liked around here but Platinum Bronze over Coral looks sick on th E93 (if you're looking for unique color combos). I'd go with Tiag, Space Gray or Black (Jet or Sapphire) over coral.

majin ssj eric · 01-11-2008, 06:38 PM

I'm not really a fan of coral honestly. I think I would go with saddle myself....

I know what your personal preferences are and I don't think you want me to share them with the rest of the class......

But on a lighter note, FWIW, I first chose the exterior color that I thought my ride would look best in and then I chose an interior color that I felt complimented my exterior color choice.

I think this more closely answers the OP's dilema than everyone giving their own opinion what color combo's look better than others.

BTW, I prefer the combo of nice breasts with great legs.....

Choose the boobs

You can't go wrong with that.

Bulldog 6 · 01-11-2008, 09:14 PM

Interior is more important you can always paint the exterior a new color in a couple of years...its cheaper than a new car
