worst colour combo eva
Discussion
Hi there,
Maybe the original owner liked green?!
There are a few eyebrow raising colour combo's out there on BMW's as well as many other cars - but original owners aren't always enthusiasts like we pn PH are. Some people, actually, I'd say the vast majority of the driving population simply don't have a clue what a car is and how it should/could be specced up. That's why quite a few cars end up being laughed at in the enthusiast community!
There was a similar posting on a site where an Alpina E39 B10 Touring was underspecced and was also in green, similar sort of thing to this, the original owner probably didn't have a clue!
The worst thing is though, if the 1st owner DID have a clue and is/was an enthusiast - then yes, what the hell were they thinking!!!
Cheers, Dennis! West London & Slough UK!

That is not even close to "worst eva" or Stevie Wonder spec - the green leather is maybe questionable but the car actually looks like a nice, unmolested one. The grey suits the car very well (of course carbon black is much better....) but if you were so inclined it would be very easy to colour the seats black.

I quiet like that, ah well strange old world..There's an E39 M5 on PH classifieds(on page 3) being sold by Avantgarde, which is Le Mans Blue with individual Violet Blue heritage leather and wood trim.
When I read the description I thought it would be horrid, but in the photos it actually looks very nice and is also a bit different.

t what others think, they like the colour and buy based on what they like and not for resale value, just a thought!Dominic H said:

Odd how some colour combos are very manufacturer specific.

Grey is sooooo dull. Techno Violet would go much better with that nice green interior.
Do you guys really think that the original purchaser spending over £60k on a new car gives two hoots as to what people think about the colour / spec choices they made 9 years ago ?
BMW offer an "individual" programme - its all in the wording !
Not saying that all colour / specs are to my taste, I only wish I was in a position wher I could choose the colour / spec on an M5 from new !

There's also the theory that a more unusual colour combo makes a BMW/MB/Audi etc less attractive to cloners, as opposed to the proliferation of silver/black/grey cars with black interiors, that are easier to match up.
I wonder if it's quantifiable whether the supposed hit taken with a less saleable car at trade in, is less or more than the cost of no-claims loss/total loss etc if a car stolen/cloned etc.,....??????
