New Med Blue 5 series

Mcmanus1806 · 03-06-2019, 01:12 AM

I thought I would stick some photos of the 5 series I optioned up, really liked the med blue! What's your thoughts?

Your car is identical to mine. Looks brilliant when washed. Challenge is to keep the car clean

I have also ordered a Med Blue 5er. Still waiting for mine to arrive.

What are those seats you have? Mine look very different with quilting in the centre. Just wondering if they are the new my19 seats

I believe you have SE and M M sport seats, which can alter the appearance of the seats.

You then have the choice of different leather which I believe also changes the appearance of the seats. But if I'm honest I'm not really sure.

I agree, it took me 5000 miles and 2 months before I gave it its first wash! But it came back up looking brand new and with a little bit of protection on it! I was considering having it protected with swissvax but it was too contaminated and would need a polish too

I think they put the steering wheel on wrong side and I would have gone with mocha or ivory, but great exterior choice.

Really like Mediterranean blue, especially when I think my imperial blue is too "black"

Chuckyarla · 03-06-2019, 04:37 AM

Looks brilliant! Enjoy and safe driving. They're a great car.

Looks pretty much like mine mate!! Agree that the colour is superb, I really like it... I must admit I am leafing through the individual colours for my next one... quite like the look of Wildberry at the moment but will most likely stick with a blue!

Love your color choices. Mediterranean blue is awesome with its color changes from bright sun light to darker blue even purple in evening.
Is that Dekota leather? I like the lighter colors with Med blue. I really like the blue stitching and the little M color stripe on the side.
I got Mediterranean Blue w/ Tartufo leather.
Enjoy

Car looks amazing, I went for the Imperial Blue but starting to regret it (too black!!??). However, I've not seen mine yet until next week.

Steering wheel looks on the right side to me, shame about the graffiti on the number plates though LOL

Must have been a gang. They messed up the plates on the car next to him too.

Steering wheel looks good but hope you drive on the RIGHT side. Lol

Beautiful!

lago1974 · 03-06-2019, 08:09 PM

Love the car! Exterior looks exactly like mine that's arriving soon. Congrats on a great choice

I had cream interior in my 4 series and it put me off light coloured leather completely, me and other half always wear black jeans

I was almost tempted to go for carbon black but glad I decided not as it's a little too black for me when not in direct sunlight!

Thanks! I have seen a few with lighter interior but as my old interior in the 4 series was cream I had to go for a black this time haha

Definitely agree CB is another level darker than IB

Is the seat stitching blue?

I think it's the blue/black stitching option we get. Not 100% sure from the pics but looks like that.

creativ101 · 12-09-2019, 09:05 AM

Also looking to get Med Blue but with Ivory White Dakota. Ive read mixed reviews on maintaining this.. Is that easy enough to keep clean or a nightmare?

Anyone have any picts of the seats after say 10k miles?
