yours really

diesel007 · 09-04-2006, 10:04 PM

Congrats! Nice e92.

Edit: I like the side by side with the e90. The 335 looks like the evil brother.

Congrats great combo

Opps...Clarification....not my car, my pics.

I love the coral red.

I saw an E92 in person today and have to say... in pictures I prefer the look of the E92, but in person I like the E90 better.

coral red interior is gorgeous.
funny how they got rid of the american yellowrim front indicators and put those ugly yellow 'stickers 'on the front wheel arch'.

wonder whether u guys can put yellow bulbs in the clear indicators and then do way with yellow stickers e92 and yellow rim e90 indicators. definitely worth thinking about.

nice close up rear shots of e92 and e90. rear end of stock e90 without blacklines look almost 'ancient 'next to modern e92 rear lamps.

A thing of beauty i must say

Saw the E92's in person at local stealership today. The space grey is awesome - definitely one of it's best colors IMHO. I'm kinda warming up to coral red w/ aluminum trim on the website. Really want to see one in person. BTW - noticed the Knoxville location. After going up 35-0 in the 3rd, I thought they had those rankings reversed. And, apparently, the AP agrees having bumped us up today to #11 after 1 game??!!??

Hi SCA,

I'm curious as to what you thought of the Coral red?

I'm thinking of an E92 but won't see any cars until launch date on Sept 28.
The guy has a sapphire black with jade and grey poplar coming in with my name on it. Don't even think I'll see a coral here in Ireland to start with.

I was originally thinking of Sapphire/Coral Red but thought it might to too light in the flesh making it more pink in real life. I'm not brave enough to order unseen and it's possibly one of those colours that you you say 'WOW' :rocks: on first sight but get sick of after 6 months or so.

Did it look more RED or pink when you saw it? Did u get in to the car?

Thanks

I was there for the season opener. It was not that interesting of a game so we left with 12 minutes left in the 4th. I'm currently trying to find tix for the Air Force game this coming weekend.

GO VOLS!

I like it, but I have had 4 BMWs with red leather. I think SG/CR would look great!

Nice one.

That was my second choice. SG/Coral and my thind sapphire/jade.

Over here dealers are very conservative and anything out of the ordinary usually gets the cold shoulder. And this usually passes on to residual values when trying to trade again. He's happy to order a sb/jade without a deposit but wouldn't order a sb/coral.

What other shades of red did u have and how do they compare to the coral?

If it was a proper darkish shade of red

I'd nearly take a chance but any photos I've seen and it looks pinkish

. Too bright. And I think that would be OTT. Too much really. And then after the initial sugar rush

fades one maybe left with an un-loved one.

Cardinal Red (2 E30s) and Tanin Red (2 E46s).

Coral looks similar to Tanin.

I vote for choice #3 Saph/Jade!(I'm not biased...really) I also chickened out of Saphire/coral because I ordered in June without seeing the red in person. I think coral is just a bit too light where imola on the m3 is a great red color.

SCA · 09-06-2006, 04:42 PM

The problem with the red leather is that it does not photograph well. Similar to terra. You must see it in person.
