Favorite Color from 1er UK Brochure

ibeam81 · 07-25-2007, 03:54 PM

What's your favorite color(s) based upon the options shown in the UK 1er Brochure? You can select more than one color.

Note: Jet Black/Black Sapphire and Crimson Red/Sedona Red have been combined to fit the poll constraint of a maximum of 10 choices.

Won35i · 07-25-2007, 04:06 PM

I like AW, Black Sapphire, and Sparkling Graphite

Brookside · 07-25-2007, 04:08 PM

I voted Alpine White...but it's my default choice: LeMans Blue would get my vote if it were on there. I also like Cashmere which is a sleeper color and I could see going with Terra combo and being very nice (and safe)...even Sedona Red has grown on me...
Stockholm Syndrome maybe- I've seen it so much it's like, "OK, I give up!"

I have sparkling graphite/terra on my e90. I like it, but I don't like the brownish hues and purplish hues it gives off in different light. I suppose graphite does that too, but I'm not feeling it anymore.

I think I may break my last 7 BMW trend of silver/black/gray bmws and go with a blue one. I voted Monaco, but Montego is a close 2nd. With either, I'd like lemon interior and sunroof delete...

DimaGt · 07-25-2007, 05:58 PM

Montego Blue looks amazing and it gets my vote. AW however is great looking as well......

bimmerfile · 07-25-2007, 07:16 PM

I'm a traditionalist, I'm going for TiAg..

ChrisK · 07-25-2007, 07:18 PM

Sedona Here!

ibeam81 · 07-25-2007, 07:20 PM

Not much interest in Tahiti Green is there?

fishbulb · 07-26-2007, 03:49 PM

where oh where is Imola red?!?

AMB · 07-26-2007, 04:45 PM

I'm disappointed there is no Silver Grey option, so I voted Apline White. I love my current Steel Grey (esp. with Red Seats) which is similar to Sparkling Graphite, but I want a lighter colored car to contrast better with Black or Gunmetal wheels.

Problem is, AW looks to be the new TiAg so you'll see it everywhere.

You could always go with Tahiti Green if you want to be unique. :wink:

I'm curious just how many 1ers BMW will sell in that color. It doesn't seem to be getting much love in this forum.

I think they'd sell more if they had a nice Dark Green, like British Racing Green or a tad darker...

Big Red One · 07-26-2007, 09:19 PM

I voted Alpine White, but it's looking like that's going to be a pretty common color (judging from the limited sample size that is this forum). So that's my "when I just can't decide whether to take a chance on another color" choice.

So, in a quest to have a somewhat unique car, I'm keeping my eye on Cashmere Silver. In my mind (a scary place), that could look really nice over Coral leather.

And I keep looking at Crystal Blue and thinking if that looks anything like this M1 rendering, I just might go that way.

Sixspeed J · 07-27-2007, 02:05 AM

Montego blue does it for me. If the Alpine white was a metallic paint I would get that in a heartbeat. Especially if it had the red leather seats.:headbang:

Maximus Decimus · 07-27-2007, 03:58 AM

AW, but REALLY curious about Crystal blue. Thankfully no one here in Germany does AW, cause I hate having the color that every1 else has. Back home in S. FL AW was popping up all over the place before I left and was kinda makin me :frown:.

I'm curious about the geographic disparity, No one does AW here! You just never see it.

If that crystal blue looks anything like the old blue water color, I'm all over it. The blue in the recently posted pics is

as well.

Joop! · 07-29-2007, 09:37 AM

I couldn't find LeMans Blue so I voted for TiAg.

dieselchas · 07-29-2007, 04:06 PM

I voted TS, but I love the Montego and the SG. I just don't know, I am so confused.:iono:

Hey could one of you photoshop wizards throw out a henarot 135? Anyone else remebr that color? That was one of my favorite E30M3 colors. I know it would never be an option, but it might look interesting.
