Since I am being indecisive, I will put this question to you guys..

Montego blue exterior with cream interior
Montego blue exterior with Saddle Brown interior
Alpine White exterior with Saddle Brown interior
(Metallic) Black exterior with Saddle Brown interior

Right now I am leaning towards the first, but I feel like the interior makes the car. (I've seen someone with the same combo in a coupe @ work.. bothered me)

I like the white and the Black combos, but feel like B & W are just too common. The Montego is nice, particularly with the Saddle, but after looking, I see that the dashboard & floor would be a dark, grayish color, while only the seats would be saddle brown color--not sure if I like that. The cream, though standard, would be the color of the dash and the interior .. (no two tone interior the car). The Trim would be Light Brown Poplar.

dont go with black sapphire metallic and saddle - the less of them the better

in all seriousness, how can anybody choose the color of your car but you? most people will just recommend whatever color they chose or whatever color they like best out of the choices you gave.

in the end, its your tastes, your car. Go with whichever one calls your name.

It helps to solidifies what I'm thinking/indecisive about. I am also looking for a somewhat unique combo... yours is one I have not seen a lot of (Black w saddle)

[oldaccount]

well, then im going to be a hardass and recommend a combo not on your list - Monaco Blue with saddle. I never gave Monaco much thought before, but after seeing one in person, its become one of my favorite colors.

Plus its a good compromise betwen black and Montego. AFAIK its gonna be pretty unique as well.

the dashboard and floor in saddle cars are black btw, not grey.

The pillars and headliner are grey though.

It seems like Monaco is the color I see the most of.. it looked great on the site, but I have not seen any picts of the combo. Am I the only one that thinks the two tone on the inside (except for beige) looks a little funny?

[BMWE90]

either black with saddle or alpine white with saddle.

Why can't you get Coral interior on a sedan?

[Goodfella69]

Montego and cream, My dealer has a conv with that combo and it is beautiful i can't stop staring at it. You won't be dissapointed

Precisely....that's what I can't figure out.......They're probably trying to keep the e90s more family like and less sporty and leave that for the e92/93. That's the only thing that somewhat makes sense to me thus far. I was disappointed when I found out that color combo wasn't available for e90s......SUCKS!!!!

[macd1995]

decided.... Platinum Bronze with Cream interior.. (smile)... Looks classy. I did it put it on before because fiance was not enamored with it... when we saw it on person, she was on board... now 328 or 335 (smile).. I love the rims on the 335, but not concerned with torque... Seems a lot to pay just for rims. But I heard that People swap on this site...

If you're getting a coupe, I'm going to be biased and say Alpine White with Coral Red . Second will be Black with Saddle. Upkeep will be arduous though, if you're the anal type like me.

If you're getting a sedan, have you looked at Montego with Lemon (priority 1)? I think that's my favorite sedan combo.

Whichever you pick, I'm sure you're going to love it. Good luck!

Convertible it is... Didn't like the hard-top lines on the white, but they look decent on the platinum bronze. Lemon is only available in Canada, no? I loved Montego Blue, but it kinda lost its luster after a while.... Platinum on Beige it is... though I have now seen two on the street since I made my decision!!!

Came back around... Was curious about Platinum & Saddle, but didn't find too many pics, and could not pull the trigger.. so change the exterior & Interior and with the final blessing of the fiance, will switch to Alpine White & Saddle, with Light Poplar trim!!! Everyone seems to have Burl.. and I love the way light poplar looks. Poplar pops on Beige, but the whole interior pops with Saddle (Smile).. Comments?

[EST-E90]

I am currently trying to decide between Platinum Bronze and Black. I have to have the black interior though. What do you think of platinum bronze with black interior?

BoltJames of Bimmerfest would be proud of your selection.

Black-Saddle for me.

Too late to change to Alpine... Car went it to production (early if you ask me) Platinum and Beige it is... at least I the Poplar will pop and the interior will be one color... sour grapes (smile)

I was finally convinced myself to cop the Premium package (though the auto-dimmer would have annoyed the crap out of me)... Of to Paris on the 23...
