What's the name of the leather?

Looks really great! Big congrats!

10M3MAN · 11-06-2010, 05:48 PM

nice

pwallenius · 11-07-2010, 03:25 AM

The color is Havana metalic, and the leather is called Natural brown.

I'm not shure, but belive its original BMW. My BMW Dealer had a much larger selection of leather colors than in the catalog. Mine i mounted at the dealer here in denmark. Our tax system makes it cheaper than fabric mounted. Fabric = 25% VAT + 180% tax.

I also find that the antrasite bottom gives a very noce contrast to the leather.

Brian@EWS · 11-09-2010, 09:07 AM

Nice but definitely needs a drop

Gratulerer med kjempefin bil :-)

Good thing its not only us that is overtaxed when it comes to cars. I payed 90.000 euros for my 520d

datbimmerdoe · 11-10-2010, 05:35 PM

congrats!

cidair · 11-11-2010, 01:20 AM

Fantastic! Always nice to see someone with the guts to order something different than us grey/siler guys

Very beautiful combo.

ac388 · 11-11-2010, 03:23 AM

Is that the original 17" #236 wheel ?

pwallenius · 11-11-2010, 03:39 AM

Yes - I Denmark they are standard mounted.

I think I will keep them with winter tiers, and then get something 19" for the summer :-)

jaynas · 11-11-2010, 04:39 AM

great colour...especially the interior!! looking good!

Hoss NY · 11-11-2010, 06:28 PM

luigimaster24 · 11-11-2010, 09:20 PM

Beatiful color, inside and out... Congrats!!!

ac388 · 11-12-2010, 12:21 AM

The style of the wheel looks nice but do u agree the size is a bit small, since it shows a lot of space between the fender n the wheel.

it is not a matter of the size of the wheels, you can't have bigger wheels since the diameter of the rim+tire has to be remained constant which means the bigger the rim, the lower profile tire you need to have.

if you want less gap between fender and wheel, a drop is required.

ac388 · 11-12-2010, 04:11 AM

Thanks for the info. Did u do the drop ? Is it expensive ?

Are u coming tonight ? I will try if i don't fall asleep.

remmib · 11-12-2010, 11:49 AM

Very nice F10, but what interior color is that?
