Hey guys, I am thinking of ordering a 2017 or 2018 535i, but wanted to know what the exterior and interior colors looked like in real life on the vehicle (instead of relying on the digital color "swatches".

Does anyone have a vehicle in the following exterior colors:
C10 - Mediterranean Blue
X04 - Moonstone metallic
X08 - Champagne Quartz
X10 - Tanzanite Blue
X11 - Frozen Bronze

AND/OR the following Priority 1 interior colors:
ZAC8
ZAKS
ZAML
ZAP5
ZAP6
ZAP7

Pics would be greatly appreciated, and if you could show a view that shows the interior and exterior "contrast" together, that would be even more appreciated!

Pretty color! Any pics showing the exterior and interior together in the same shot?

Might want to think a bit differently...

I recently picked up an Individual Composition car in Moonstone Exterior and Platinum Interior.

Very nice exterior color---are there some hints of silver and champagne in the paint?

Also see you have it pretty loaded, sans the rear sunshades and Night Vision. That ACC is pretty rare option.

I have the HUD, the only thing it doesn't have is the sunshades and the fancy stereo. I love the ACC, makes my commute so much more pleasant.

The paint is spectacular it has some blue/violet tones too, especially when parked in the shade it looks more blue/silver and only when the sun hits it does it show any champagne. When I first got it everyone said it was a different color!

This is a very beautiful color; is it me, or does this appear to be matte?

These are also two awesome colors---which one is closer to the blue they use on M3/M4/M5? I would think Mediterranean Blue, but hard to tell from the pics, and the stock Tanzanite Blue color attached here from bummer.work:

Sorry, I misspoke. I meant to say Night Vision. (which IMO is not worth the $---I have it & only used it about 5 times; a useless waste of $2,600) Wow I did not notice the blue or violet tones in the pain. What would you say the biggest difference is between the platinum interior and something like, say beige or cream or white, etc.

It appears to have the Sport Auto (see rocker switch on console), which would allude that it also has paddles.

Actually, I know what you're talking about. First, I will most likely be getting the 2017 or 2018 540i, since that's what they've changed to. Second, you're alluding to the fact that those color options aren't on the G30 order sheet. That's why I will wait until late 2017 or early 2018 when the Individual options have been added (as historically they don't add the "BMW Individual" options for the first MY of a chassis change.)

I also have the "rocker" switch but had neither the sport auto nor shift paddles. That switch is to switch between Eco, Comfort, Sport & (if equipped or coded) Sport+ modes. Even though it's hard to see in the picture, the shifter looks like the non-sport auto shifter. The paddles should also be visible on the left side of the wheel.

I understand. I have all of the tranny/suspension options on my car (and never looked at each one from a standalone standpoint), so I guess I just assumed that one thing automatically went with the other.

Okay okay... I lied. It did not come with the SAT but I coded it in 😉 I did not add the paddles though. It does not have the sunshades, SAT, night vision, RSE, or the full adaptive dynamics. Although I would love to try one with it out! I will try to get a pic of moonstone looking it's bluest!

BMW calls matte paint "Frozen".
So Frozen Bronze is matte

I got to see a Champagne Quartz M3 in person, and I've always loved them online, but in person it wasnt all that, maybe because he had shitty vossen wheels that didnt even really go with the car ? But it still wasnt that bad and looked different.

Champagne Quartz F10

WOW! I really like the Champagne Quartz! Really cool color!

[tresean1]

+1.
I thought it would be another (dare I say) "boring/overpriced" color...but it looks unique, especially from the rear angle lighting.
