Chestnut or saddle brown on Alpine white?

teamadobo · 12-03-2009, 11:54 AM

328 Sedan

What will be your choice? I like the contrast on both

CHCCubs · 12-03-2009, 12:00 PM

I prefer Chestnut. I was deciding between the two colours myself when I got my car and decided on the Chestnut, it's definitely a unique colour and I got alot of positive comments from people on it.

UdubBadger · 12-03-2009, 12:07 PM

chestnut.... looks less bright red in person, almost terracotta.

teamadobo · 12-03-2009, 12:10 PM

Any pics? I browsed the gallery but nothing specific

UdubBadger · 12-03-2009, 12:15 PM

chestnut is like a brick red...

I settled on Saddle for my Alpine White. No regrets here; "sporty yet classy" is the general consensus from my friends and family. Chestnut isn't bad, and while it does look less red in person than in pictures, it was still too vulgar for my taste.

This website has some pics of Alpine white with saddle (this is not my car, but it looks more or less identical to mine). Either way you decide, you'll probably love it.

in white i would go with chestnut its a beautiful color combo.... saddle is nice too thats what i have in my car but my car is montego blue.... white with chestnut interior was like my dream color combo ahhhh!!!!

I went with chestnut on my AW M-Sport. That color with the anthracite headliner is stunning imho.

BMWinNorthdakota · 12-03-2009, 12:40 PM

Brown.

Pure class

s.myrr · 12-03-2009, 12:46 PM

I was really close to chestnut with my 335i order... ended up going with black again. They all work, as AW goes with mostly everything. Grats on the purchase!

teamadobo · 12-03-2009, 12:52 PM

Yes I kept in mind before I can get chestnut the car has to hae anthracite headliner. Im loving that chestnut color. Im going for that one.

RX7guy · 12-03-2009, 01:10 PM

Is Lemon still available in the sedan? I loved the high contrast of the off-white with lots of black and alum trim.

Is the chestnut new for 2010? I love the white/red look, very, very classic and its been very popular on the coupes (love mine)

thats because that IS red. coral red

Ron1n · 12-03-2009, 01:34 PM

Yeah, was gonna say..that doesn't look like Chestnut to me :P

burberry · 12-03-2009, 01:35 PM

chestnut is gross . definitely the tan one. although black would be HAWTT on AW.

chumley · 12-03-2009, 01:42 PM

I don't know why BMW can't just make a "normal" brown. Have you ever seen a high-end piece of furniture that looked like either of these?

I chose saddle as the lessor of 2 evils. Saddle has an almost orange look to it sometimes and I don't know why they call it chestnut when it looks like off-red to me. I think with AW you could do either.

persianbmw · 12-03-2009, 01:46 PM

If those are your only choices I'd go with brown

D.yi · 12-03-2009, 02:02 PM

brown brown brown

how is that coral red? sedans don't come with coral red and that is obviously a sedan... the color might be a bit off but i'm pretty sure its chestnut.

Ron1n · 12-03-2009, 03:13 PM

BMW Individual is a wonderful thing. There's no way the top is Chestnut, though.

teamadobo · 12-03-2009, 03:52 PM

Must be the lighting on the pics.

Taken from his photobucket acct. Looks like Chestnut to me
