Would You Get The Same Colour Combo Again?

STR8-6IX · 04-02-2017, 10:24 AM

what is everyones current colour combo, what were they deciding between and what would you guys order/pick if you had to do it all over again?

personally, my dream BMW would be either a 6 speed manual e90 or an f30 with my drivetrain swapped into it (8 speed auto with 3 stage n52) as long as it is RWD. would get coilovers for the f30.

I currently have silver on venetian beige which everyone seems to hate.. I always liked it and always thought it looked really good on the F10, but window tints really helped clean up the look on the outside. I was debating between this model or a black/black on but I got a better trade in deal for my current one so here I am.

If I had to do it again.. I am thinking gray on red or black on brown.. I really dont know. anyone have pics with brown or red interior? which exterior colour would you choose?

Color combos are extremely subjective. That said, AW/CR is my color combo. Not only do I like it but it adds 10 HP and therefore, no brainer. I would do it again.

Blubaron79 · 04-02-2017, 12:34 PM

I have always thought the same thing. I had Space Grey with black, then went to MG and CR. Now I am GS with Black. I do miss Space Grey. It would have looked great on the F30..

Prossx · 04-02-2017, 12:34 PM

MG/CR: favorite color combo of any car I've had. Would do it again unless BMW pulls their heads out of their rears and finally offers something amazing like Tanzanite on the G20 340 MSport.

I have the same colour combo and I would happily do it again.

Potentially White/White would be an alternative to AW/CR.

mannymazz · 04-02-2017, 03:32 PM

My 435 was aw/cr I thought they only looked good in white. Now I have a 440 in mg/car and absolutely love it and am sick of aw. I love the color and see way to many white cars by me that it's a turnoff.

MuffinMan910 · 04-02-2017, 03:40 PM

Superman here! Would get it again without a doubt! EBII gets so much attention and the coral red combination may be subjective but at least where I am, very rare and I love it

spuntyb · 04-02-2017, 05:36 PM

Again and again. Forever. MG over CR is perfect.

Zoks · 04-02-2017, 05:55 PM

I have been very consistent with black on black for all 6 six of my cars. I was thinking of doing black on brown for my 2018 440i LCI. I broke with tradition a little and went with the blue contrast stitching and blue highlight. Curious to see it when it shows up in a couple of months.

otay · 04-02-2017, 06:01 PM

MG with CR here. Have grown very fond of this combo over the last couple years. It's just about perfect, but wanting to change it up, so...

...just closed a deal, and am ordering 340i this week. It's gonna be Tanzanite and Saddle Brown.

Zoolander10z · 04-02-2017, 06:02 PM

Currently on my second MG/CR F32. Go with what you like.

STR8-6IX · 04-02-2017, 06:10 PM

what does AW mean?

seems like gray on red is popular here. i also love black on red and silver on red.

what do you guys think of silver on saddle brown? I think black on saddle brown is best in that case.

AW = Alpine White. It's the only color on 340i that is "free".

I think Silver on Saddle would be nice...either that or Red.

Here's my CR...

wish you could get coral red on the non M version f10.. silver on red colour scheme with the 5 series would be to die for

YasF80_SLO · 04-02-2017, 06:33 PM

I got AW with black leather, would do again.

Buzzo · 04-02-2017, 07:07 PM

Zero regrets on EB/SB. EB is hands down the best 'standard' color available for the F30; sometime I'm jealous of the people I pass because it just looks and sounds so good when it drives by. Every morning I watch my wife leave in it. CR is a fantastic, but a bit afraid of the Superman effect and SB goes very well with EB.

Next time I might go for CR, which goes very well with silver, white, grey and black.

Might be boring, but I'd order everything exactly the same with one single exception (that says a lot I think).

Mine's silver F10, 535i - 6sp. RWD with DHP and black on black interior.
The only thing I'd change is wood trim for brushed aluminum, everything else is exactly how I like it.

Of course I wouldn't be able to

, it's not clear if even new 3 series will come with manual in the future.

Excellent substitute for MG/CR imho. Nice choice!

S.BMW23 · 04-02-2017, 08:04 PM

Alpine white on black Dakota leather. Would do it again.

mdai245 · 04-02-2017, 08:07 PM

AW on CR love this combo but slight regret its not MG on CR.

Would go MG on CR for next one.

5ilver-5amurai · 04-02-2017, 09:46 PM

+1 MG and CR. However, I would opt for a white-ish interior if I was going for a more luxurious look.

GarlicBread · 04-02-2017, 09:51 PM

+1 more for MG and coral red. Have it love it would get it again.
