Atomic teal 😆

white. anything else would be uncivilized.

zentanker · 01-27-2019, 09:02 PM

Mineral grey. To be honest I really wish I'd had the option to get the color I had on my E46- silver gray.

Lots of good caution here to just stimulate the rods and spare the cones!

Alpine White / Coral red leather / Black soft top / Black exterior trim / Black interior trim.
Truly a Bavarian classic colour combination giving sportiness and practicality at the same time..

Mine is Melbourne Red with black Sensatec. I really wanted Mineral White but all the MW in my area had the tan interior. Not a fan.
And now that Ive gotten used to it, I like the MR. It's red, but not too bright, like my 2002 Civic was. That was the only car I ever got a speeding ticket in.

I went with Estoril Blue. Every other car I've owned has been black, so I was a bit nervous to go with something so different/bold. The blue looks amazing on a car with lots of black accents and I don't miss cleaning a black exterior one bit

EB over Oyster is in assembly for me. Seeing pics of yours makes me glad I made the choice! Mine is going to be an xDrive, though. Because Ohio...not SoCal...

What product do you use on your paint? Looks fantastic!

happyjack · 01-29-2019, 06:45 PM

mineral grey over coral red.

i really *like* MG but not in love with it. i was buying CPO and got impatient after a 3-4 week search for a really snazzy color with the options i wanted. would've definitely chosen estoril blue, valencia/sunset orange or melbourne red if they were available as CPOs w/ my desired options...

Congrats to you, and thanks! You'll **never** get tired of the combo you chose.

I use nothing but clay bar and RejeX every 1-2 years, aside from washing.

I heard they opened up Long Beach Blue to non M2 cars. Let's see how many get built.

Long Beach Blue and carbon fiber trim available for MY 20 is what I read. Did I also see that Seaside Blue was going to be available on the M240s? I think that's a beautiful color.

Might the CF (look?) trim come at a decent price point for the 2018/9 M240i as a retrofit?
