UK E91 · 09-27-2005, 05:27 PM

Here are some pics of my new Arctic E91 Touring

davinet78 · 09-28-2005, 07:08 AM

very nice car

LEDZEP · 10-16-2005, 01:15 PM

Our new E91 in Arctic. Beautiful color!

Nikki · 10-17-2005, 10:43 AM

wee!
I'll have some prettier ones later.

davinet78 · 10-17-2005, 10:48 AM

not yet, do you have any specific requests?
It's just the generic Black/Aluminum, lol
I will post pics of the interior and the comfort access button.

Nikki · 10-18-2005, 12:11 AM

Here are a couple nicer ones, and an interior shot,
the rest are in my other thread.

rahuldotc · 10-18-2005, 03:32 AM

Some more Arctic, One alongside TiAg

LEDZEP · 10-20-2005, 08:19 PM

Damn, just love this color!

arcticpiper · 10-31-2005, 04:47 PM

Love the colour - mine arrives early Nov.
Does anyone know whether the 325i gets chrome window trim in Canada and 60/40 split seats?

BMerDRMer · 11-13-2005, 01:01 AM

Getting closer and closer to an order ........ and leaning heavily towards Artic. I have seen Beige and Grey combo's at the dealers ..... I am leaning toward Black leather w Poplar, I would think the light / dark contrast (exterior to interior) would play well. Have noticed Niki's single interior pick ..... any others with pics or experience?

LEDZEP · 11-13-2005, 08:04 PM

^ Black leather with Poplar would look nice. You should check the interiors thread... that combo is bound to be in there somewhere.

davinet78 · 11-14-2005, 06:42 AM

if i had to reorder my car again i would still go for arctic with beige interior

Nikki · 11-15-2005, 11:26 AM

I was looking at these two pictures in my last Arctic thread and thought they'd be a great addition here for someone to see the change in color based on light.

The first shot is with the sun behind the clouds. The second shot was taken about 5 minutes later with the sun out from behind the clouds during sunset.

LEDZEP · 11-15-2005, 11:45 AM

I love watching our wagon change colors with different light. Funny, my white car just looks white all the time.

geeslice · 03-15-2006, 05:34 PM

I order on Friday... Trying to decide between Arctic or SG on 325xi with prem., cold, and xenons. I definatley want black interior with the wood trim... I know how SG looks with that but anyone seen Arctic with that interior? Any thoughts on it?

My concern with the SG is swirl marks... I have a Moro Blue Pearl Audi TT right now with some major swirl issues... (I will post as well in SG thread.)

Any thoughts/insights would be appreciated!

BMW0 · 03-15-2006, 06:30 PM

Very rich and pleasant paint scheme. Now I really want Arctic on my car, too late... doh.

Gotta give it to Nikki, she really knows how to show off Arctic well. Buono Foto Bella

I love Arctic so much! It stands out a lot and is such an uncommon color which makes it so special. The way it changes depending on the sun is amazing. You can check out more pictures of Arctic in my sig. Good luck with your purchase!

andy · 05-08-2006, 12:47 AM

I just wanted to share this piece of useless info.. I was watching an old episode of Frasier (the one where his station manager/love interest was about to leave for another station) and I heard him say that his favorite color was "Arctic Silver.. it's available on all the big BMWs". Wow we have the same impeccable taste as Dr. Crane himself

LEDZEP · 05-14-2006, 04:57 PM

I just love the green/gray hue that Arctic takes on during heavily overcast days...

Nikki · 06-04-2006, 04:49 PM

I figured that I should compile some of the many colors I've captured into this thread.
