Quick Pics of E90 Space Gray/Oyster

Phil G. · 03-21-2009, 05:05 PM

Just washed it - some were asking to see Oyster with Space Gray exterior. The camera sucks, and the leather is actually not as "white" as it looks in the shots. It's got a very slight tan/pinkish color to it. Nice combo though, IMO. Sport seats are great!!

remmib · 03-21-2009, 05:16 PM

Very nice color combo.

Craig@SupremePower · 03-21-2009, 05:21 PM

Lookin good...

methodtim · 03-21-2009, 05:26 PM

Very nice!

This is the first time I've been able to see the different colored kidney grill slats.

Phil G. · 03-21-2009, 06:29 PM

Yeah, it's a pretty car. I didn't think I'd like the combo, but it's growing on me. My wife loves it.

You could be a bit more subtle. It's my wife's car. I like aluminum too, but she really wanted wood. Her choice. I actually like the wood, but would have gotten the lighter one if I had to choose again.

Ender514 · 03-22-2009, 10:27 AM

looks good.

those rims have gotta be a pain to clean

Don't take it too personally, Phil G. There's always got to be one "if you don't have what I've got, yours is crap" type of response to a thread like this. And not everybody likes aluminum anyway, it is pretty cold, common, and dentable, so I can understand why your wife wanted wood.

Your car looks great, I love they oyster interior, and the wood's okay too.

Not as bad as I thought they would be. My 19" RS4 wheels on my TT are harder. But since I put ceramic brakes on the Audi, the wheels are MUCH cleaner since minimal brake dust.

Yep, I think so. I might get aluminum if I were buying a 335 coupe for myself (which I might do next year), but my wife really likes the wood - since we got the oyster leather (too masculine for her - she preferred beige -but since the car's eventually going to my kid, we opted for oyster), the wood was her call. I'm fine with it. You're right - if you don't get exactly what others have or want, it can't possibly be a good choice. I've always said that colors, both interior and exterior (which includes wood v. piano black or aluminum) is so subjective and a matter of personal choice.

Hey Phil G., very nice car you've got there! It's just like mine, but I didn't get the xDrive version. What options does your car have?

Thanks! It has steptronic (w/ paddles), premium, sport and cold weather packages, xenons, Logic7, satellite radio, and iPod adapter. Essentially everything but nav and comfort access. Nice car. Do you have the same color combination??

STE92VE · 03-23-2009, 09:40 PM

Love the look of the oyster.....not too sure about the Space Gray though...

Thanks for the pics!

Your kid is very lucky....mine were handed down 1994 Civic & 2002 Jetta, but I loved them as much as I do the E92 (I love my kids too). OK, so maybe I love the E92 a little more.(than the Civic & the Jetta, not the kids)
