Speccing 135i Coupe - Colour Choice

[bennno]

cannot decide on white with cloth or £1500 more for black with leather.....

been offered good deal but trying to pick between these colours is difficult...

[bmwdrivernigel]

Neither, white with red leather looks a treat, or black with red leather as 2nd choice.

Le Mans Blue with Boston Lemon please.

White with red leather would be my personal choice - I have a feeling white with cloth would hit you come resale time though so if those are your only choices, I guess it has to be black with black leather

Having just delivered one, White with Black leather, simple and stunning!

Everyone who saw it loved it.

[bennno]

did you have a picture of it?

[photo_ed]

White with red leather for me too.

[bmwdrivernigel]

To give you an idea, this is my new 3 in White/Red.

It all depends if you are buying with your own money, or leasing.

White is popular at the moment, but it may not be when you sell.

If you care about depreciation, and are buyng yourself - I'd not go White (or red leather), but if it is a company car, or you are leasing - get what you prefer...

white with red or black with red definatly

Monaco Blue, looks really good on the Coupe. I was tempted by White, but chickened out. I'm very happy with the Blue though, they are a colour sensitive car.

That's what I'm picking up tomorrow - fingers crossed it works!

I presume it is not white cloth (as that would be madness)..

Part of me really wants a white car so I'd say go for it..

Might be good if you could get the wheels in black though..

That's the combination I've ordered for my 135i convertible. I test drove a Montego Blue / Lemon 125i SE and a Le Mans Blue / Cream 335i so I can sort of imagine what it's going to look and drive like. I hope!

Nice colour on the E93 there. Wish it came with a fabric hood option though!

[B17NNS]

The thing I love about the lemon is that it retains the black carpet, dash and trim bits and bobs unlike the beige.

My Mrs has a 325i coupe in Le Mans, would have loved lemon dakota with that but not available so black it was.

Graphite with red leather for me.

But out of the two choices, I'd have the black. White cars are a PITA to keep clean.

Whilst wondering what to get next I was looking on the BMW Approved website for 330i M Sport Coupes in Le Mans Blue with Lemon Dakota Leather (Had a 320i M Sport loaner last year with this combo and it was fab) and found none.

Is it really a non available option? Whats the reason for this? Keen to stay away from the plain yet common black with black interior that I have on the 530i Sport..

Do NOT buy a 135i with cloth in any colour. It will be very hard to shift come resale time - big engined BMWs need leather - you would really only get away with cloth as far as the two litres.
