brad4221x · 08-20-2005, 08:54 AM

Has everyone had a chance to see the new colors at:

Perhaps it's just the web site but none of the new ones are a must have for me.

Mystic Blue looks very good in real life on the E90

Much better than in that computer generated pic

mikepinkerton · 08-21-2005, 08:18 AM

yeah, i'd really like to see the green in real life. The cartoony pics they use don't do anything justice.

I really like the red, can't wait to see it.

sabretsubasa · 08-21-2005, 12:39 PM

i think the green will look like my old e36

the barrique red? i think it's hot but it takes a lot to pull it off i think. it's a love it or hate it color.

That pic look nothing like the color pallet I saw at the factory for Barrique

Its a very unique color

E90Fleet · 08-21-2005, 01:15 PM

Deep green looks similar to this 5 Series

SDHotRod · 08-21-2005, 11:18 PM

I still love my SG!

agarbati · 08-21-2005, 11:45 PM

Barrique, but again as someone else posted, takes a lot to pull it off.

I don't think Mystic Blue works - It looks non-metallic to me.
Sonora could be interesting, but I wouldn't order without seeing one first.
Deep green sounds classy, but looks a bit middle aged.
Barrique - now that's one to see. I don't think red suits a BMW, but this could be different?

Why are BMW´s web photos so bad? Any amateur in this forum posts very good large cars photos where you can see the colors perfectly. BMW chart of colors is ridiculous and useless. I hope they make their cars better than their web pages.

Nikki · 08-22-2005, 04:27 PM

I hope the Barrique looks like Chiaretto.

Does anyone have pictures of it yet? I was considering it at first but decided that I really like Arctic a lot, so I went with Arctic.
