Colour - Decisions decisions.....

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Talk about a 1st world problem.
About to order hopefully in a week. thought I knew what colour I was going to go for with Sophisto grey (same as current car) with ivory interior.
Walked past the BMW UK dealership in Park lane in London today and saw this so just had to go in!
Well moonstone is lovely, now torn between that and sophisto, quite different from each other.
Decisions decisions......

Only iPhone pics but wow

I prefer the bluestone. I think it is a more interesting color. I think it would look great with a lighter interior too.

Are you sure it wasn't Bluestone? Don't think individual colours are out yet are they?

Hardest part of speccing a new car in my book, esp G30 with limited options
Have had blue in various shades for years, have ordered my G30 in Sophisto which just pipped med blue for me.

Great question!

I went with Bluestone. Getting shadowline trim and I wanted it to contrast with the base color. This combo worked for me.

These decisions are all personal so my 2 cents

Four new colors available on M550i !!!

Went on my local configurator this morning: suddenly found that 4 new colors can be specced for the 550i, to add to the original, rather limited palette of 6:

- Azuritschwarz
- Champagner Quartz
- Almandinbraun
- Rhodonitsilber

...all "BMW Individual" colors.

Goddamit!

Will probably stick however to my Sophisto-grey, don't want to wait any longer

I've had my 530e Msport for 3 weeks now. Bluestone, Shadowline trim & Ivory Nappa Comfort seats. I'm so pleased with the combination. This is my 14th BMW I've owned & I have NEVER had so many people commenting what a stunning looking car it is.

decision is made. Bluestone, Ivory leather, poplar gray interior. basically exactly as per the photo of the car in the showroom.

Been such a hard decision. Decided to go away from a dark colour this time. have sophisto now and black sapphire previously.
Perhaps time for a change.
