F10 Colours

[HoHoHo]

Had thought of going Monte Carlo + Sakhir



Or Silverstone II + Sakhir



Or

Silverstone II + Black



I really like option 1 but am concerned it will draw mucho attention to the car (and possibly from clients?). Option 2 is more subtle yet still has the red to lift the cabin, option 3 is dead safe.

Not fussed about residuals, it's a lease car.

Has anyone got images or had Silverstone with Sakhir, does it look as good as it does on the website?

I went for Singapore Grey with Silverstone interior. I didn't want loud & the dark exterior with light interior compliments the car really well & personally i think it looks classy.

Originally had decided on MCB with Sakhir Orange but thought i might get a bit weary over 3yrs as that's my intended period of ownership. Is a stunning combo but i felt maybe too loud.

MCB and Sakhir ain`t as loud as you think. I was in 2 minds, but it really is a great combo. If in 2 minds I`d suggest going for it, it really adds a wow factor.

Front the outside with the tinted windows, it makes it look even more understated. (rear privacy glass would make it almost unnoticable. Also remember the dash, carpets, back of the seats and most of the centre console are still grey/black

Go for it!!!!

Silverstone with Sakhir strikes the right balance I reckon. We ordered Space Gray with Sakhir, either is bang on.

This is what I went for. Tempted by the blue but not doesnt really go well with the Sakhir interior which I really wanted. Silver exterior and red leather always go well its a classic combination

[HoHoHo]

Made my decision - Silverstone II + Sakhir

I went for Space Grey with Sekhir interior - I really like it. Unsure about MCB with Sekhir although may change my mind once I saw it in the flesh.





They sound great too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detail...

good choice

the only other option I ticked was the 20 inch wheels in silver (although I think black look good with silver as well) and electric tow bar.

Looks great. Are they standard seats on pre LCI? or the expensive option ones?

My LCI are different to those, I rememeber the car I test drove pre LCI have those seats too. I prefer the look of them

Yep, ticked the 20" in silver + Privacy Glass

Aside from that, as it comes from BMW

They're the optional M-Multifunction seats. Given I spend a chunk of time sat in traffic I figured being extra comfy made them worthwhile and they look the nuts too. Wifey has confirmed the headrests mean she can sleep in the car without flopping around now!

Agreed, but must be a nightmare to live with should you have any chips/scratches/minor paint issues?

Yeah...they're a nightmare to clean to from what I remember. When BMW launched the Frozen Grey M£ IIRC owners had to sign forms about the durability of the paint finish etc.

That said there is a Frozen Grey M3 that parks near where I work....looks superb.

That's bloody lovely that is

Only problem on a personal level is we've had an E93 with light leather and it was a bugger at showing every stain and blue from denim

Looks the dogs, for me, not practical.
