Favourite colour on a F10?

ams3177 · 04-03-2012, 07:38 AM

Space grey

I love the Dark Graphite black. It's hard to keep clean, but when it is, it is stunning. It is the closest BMW now has to the old anthracite of the 80's and 90's. I went through high school admiring those early e30 M3's and e34 M5's in anthracite.

haha

Has anyone seen the f30 in imperial blue? I was playing around with a dealer car and it didn't have the same flakes and shine to it.

Is it for newer cars? Like how DG became DG II?

r3amir · 04-03-2012, 06:42 PM

Alpine white is not on the poll

JNoSol · 04-03-2012, 09:09 PM

I like Alpine White and Jet Black. Not too crazy about those fancy metalic colors. At the end of the day, you're driving the car and not anyone on this poll. So go for something that you would enjoy, not base off of others opinion.

However, within the last 10 years, employers have started to replace company cars, which can be unpopular with drivers, due to tax requirements and costly for the employer to maintain fleets. The replacement taking the form of either additional pay, or a car lease / purchase scheme, which is essentially brokered by the employer.

I am not saying that this is the case for all businesses in the UK, because it is not. I am aware of several large businesses that are moving, or have moved, away from traditional "company car" schemes.

What's wrong with white? White cars are people too. And the majority

A900ss · 04-07-2012, 02:56 AM

Wow, the Greys are taking nearly 50% of the poll!

I think I'm leaning to Imperial Blue with the Venetian Biege interior.

well sophisto is a really nice color as well! i just wish they went back to SG I and got rid of SG II.. SG II IMO just can't match with the first one..the lack of xirallic kills it for me! the purple flakes on the SG I make it such a nice color tho!!

7woodman7 · 04-08-2012, 01:08 AM

Carbon black

gIzzE · 04-09-2012, 01:49 PM

What colour interior are you getting??

I saw a deep sea blue F10 with all beige leather the other day and it looked stunning.

Not something I would have considered myself, but it look so, so, so much more expensive and elegant compared with the grey car with black leather next to it.

Have a look at morkjt's car in this thread....

Just think it suits the SE perfectly.

A900ss · 04-09-2012, 01:53 PM

Beige or Cinnamon but imperial blue rather than DSB.

gIzzE · 04-09-2012, 02:06 PM

Imperial does nothing for me, and cinnamon looks like plastic rather than leather. haha

You just got to get what you like, that's all that matters.

mgcyr · 04-09-2012, 03:17 PM

TiAg. That's what I went with (I never thought I would like silver on a car), but it's awesome. I couldn't be happier.

On a side note, I thought space grey and sophisto grau were the same color? Either way, TiAg all the way!!!!!
