335i sedan Black/Black vs. Black Saphire/Lemon

335i=:) · 11-27-2006, 11:39 AM

I ordered my blk/blk 335i sedan before I had seen pics or knew about the option of going with the lemon interior. I really like the lemon interior. My blk/blk is supposed to be delivered to the dealer today and I am having second thoughts. I know I could order with the lemon interior if I wanted, my sa already said i could. Whadaya guys think, stick with blk/blk, or go for blk/lemon???!?!?!?!

It wouldn't be to big a deal to wait for new one considering I will be gone for a month over christmas on vacation and if I ordered a new one now it would be here just a week or two after I got back from vacation whereas if I took the blk/blk I would only drive it for a couple weeks before it sat in my garage for a month.

I have the black on black and love it. The lemon is not as nice in my opinion, but it really is up to you. Lemon might be harder to keep looking fresh and clean.....

Has to be black/lemon, we've got a graphite/lemon tourer (pics in media forum) and everyone who gets in loves the interior and the combo, but yes it is much harder to maintain.

Keep it scotchguarded and it shouldnt stain too badly.

typerlover · 11-27-2006, 01:14 PM

Black on black will look amazing. Plus you do get it now, and you won't have to worry about keeping the interior clean later.

You will have a hard enough time keeping the outside looking good, no need to double the work on yourself for the interior as well.

Mr. Smith · 11-27-2006, 01:46 PM

dude the black on black looks really good, i would keep that so you dont have to worry about getting the new seats in

335i=:) · 11-27-2006, 02:17 PM

Thanks for all the feed back guys!

I'm heading down to the dealer to look at my blk/blk for the first time before I make my final decision.

Gripster · 11-27-2006, 02:21 PM

I have blk/blk and it's awesome. Light interiors need more maintenance and you'll need all the time you can get just keeping the exterior in good condition. Stick with your choice and begin driving NOW!

Russellnyc · 11-27-2006, 02:23 PM

Can you even get lemon in the US?

Brunotheboxer · 11-27-2006, 02:38 PM

remember that the lemon will need a lot more tlc over the life of the car. i personally would not buy it but its all up to you.

Chio · 11-27-2006, 03:05 PM

yes you can get Lemon in the US i have it

Russellnyc · 11-27-2006, 04:11 PM

Sedan only, or is that an Individual order?

VoyagerDude · 11-27-2006, 04:18 PM

I have sp.graphite with lemon. I love it, everyone else does too.
I decided to lemon when saw a black with lemon with full ACS kit at the delaer.
It looked amazing! The black/lemon contrast is even more striking than graphite/lemon.

vinen · 11-27-2006, 04:47 PM

I could have sworn lemon was not available the US market...

335i=:) · 11-27-2006, 05:12 PM

Well, I went down to the dealer and what happened was predictable. I went with the black/blk, why? Everyone talking about keeping up with the lemon interior, but the bigger reason, I was too excited,

. I went ahead and paid the 365 to have the lip spoiler put on as well, but they included free labor.

Can't wait for summer to get the schnitzer wheels and some ps2's!!

Thanks for the feed back guys.

PS. I think my next one will be blk/lemon!

Yvette · 11-27-2006, 05:44 PM

black/black is boring

Flyingfart · 11-27-2006, 05:54 PM

if I was to do black it would be Saphire Black
... I would never do lemon but saddle instead.

yeah! for Saphire Black and Saddle

Free labor? Man that's great! Spoiler w/labor jumped to almost $600 for me, and that's usually the case for spoiler install.

Congrats on the car. Blk/blk is great... I really like lemon too but I'd go paranoid keeping it clean.

I already have a 330xi Black/saddle........I love it too but wanted a change.

Or practical, which is the way I see it. I would go lemon if I were leasing. Black if I bought.

Mr. Smith · 11-27-2006, 06:27 PM
