Melbourne Red. Fastest and rarest of the bunch.

I really like Melbourne Red. It looks great in all lighting scenarios.

I wanted AW but got Mineral White which I love. It has an extra sheen in sunlight thanks to the metallic.

ArcticFormula · 01-11-2019, 11:22 PM

I chose the Alpine White

Sunset Orange forever!! My '11 135i was red w/ camel interior, a great color combo, but after 8 years I was ready for a change. I'm tired of the whites, blacks, silvers, and grays... so it was either blue or orange for me, and I'm very happy with my pick. It looks great in the sun, I get lots of compliments, and I pretty much don't ever see another one on the road. I hope BMW pushes the envelope with more distinctive color choices in the future.

Love these cars in VO with black highlights, absolutely stellar. Don't think I'd ever order one, but love looking at them

Funny that EB dominates the poll, but nobody dropping pics.

Got to see my new EB at the dealership, and have to say I'm very happy with the choice after seeing it in person.

Oh, okay... if you insist!

As predicted, EB is winning by a country mile, because it is distinctive but doesn't shout "look at me!" I would be curious to know, though, what the actual BMW sales figures are. Is it just the nut jobs on this forum who buy the distinctive colors? Remember, too, that not all colors are/were available for all trim levels.
Why people want pictures, I don't understand. You want to know what the colors are, at least the current ones, go the the BMW website.

Agree completely. The nerve of some people! Imagine buying those black cars with black interiors...trying to get attention as if they are in every funeral procession that goes by or show off pretending that they are Batman! And, we can see right through those fake screen names....we know every reason they make every choice they did!

I originally looked for a CPO car, either m240 vert or outside chance of m4 vert. All I could find were black on black cars, and no manuals with any options (guess I'm an outlier in wanting that combo)...
Finally ordered a 2019 m240 with my manual

in Melbourne red with the cognac interior

I compliment anyone with guts enough to get the color they really love

Probably. I'm sure there's a much higher incidence of custom orders on the forums, as opposed to folks who buy from dealer stock of black on black on black.

Well pardon us for trying to have some fun

Not that there isn't already an EB thread (which I've "read" (looked at) every page of). And a random photos thread. I don't care though, I like looking at more pics.

To be honest EB is a somewhat mysterious color that does have a lot of variance though. It wasn't until I saw it in person a few times in different lighting conditions that I was willing to believe how different it could look.

A poll... we need a poll...

mb67 · 01-17-2019, 03:55 PM

I've got a CPO Alpine White, but next week I'm going to look into getting a wrap in a more unique color.

Please post pics of the MR over cognac when it arrives! I still don't believe there are any good pics of this combo out there. I was so close to ordering my 2018 in this color, but ended up going MR over black instead. I was thinking MR over cognac would have that same classy look as a red Ferrari with tan leather, but since I ordered the car sight unseen, I was not able to confirm it would look good and chickened out.

It also annoys me a bit that BMW doesn't give us a matching colored lower dash or carpets when selecting a "luxury" colored interior like cognac. I guess I've been spoiled by my last sports car (Porsche) and my current Volvo wagon. They do interior colors the proper way.

EB is absolutely one of my favorites in the lineup! According to the poll, y’all have some really good taste

I wanted an EB over white but couldn’t find any within my range so I went with bsm/cr. Still extremely happy though!
