Just ordered: Montego Blue/Red!!!

Hi everyone, new to the board, and yes, I'm crazy for picking the above color combo, but here's why...

It started with me wanting a red interior (a first for me). White or black were the natural exterior colors ... until I saw a montego blue 3er with red interior. I was sold. Blue is my favorite color, and it was a done deal. Here's the full list...

Montego Blue
Boston Red
Gray wood trim
Sport Package
Cold Package
Premium Package
iPod/HD/Sat
Park Distance
and...
6-speed manual:biggrin:

I can't wait

That's a great colour combo! Very eye-catching and dramatic.

Wow. Good luck to the dealer selling that if you back out! They must have made you put down $2K non-refundable to hold that

wow, well, I'm glad someone did it. I had a montego/coral on order, but after having my father and my boss attack me about it i ended up changing to montego/terra. I like the look of it, but for every day use I am glad i went with what i did. i am a salesman and have to go see customers so the mont/coral would be a little too boy racer for that purpose. I can't wait to see pics.

It arrives mid to late May. I will definitely post pictures when it's arrives. The 3er with the same combo was delivered before I could take a pic.

Compare to my M5 color wise? The M5 is interlagos blue with portland brown. Drive wise, two very different cars, but will post more on that after I drive the 135 for a few weeks.

Nothing special on the deposit, the typical 500 refundable that I do with the dealer, purchased several cars from them and like their no pressure sales and get-it done service. They also put up with my special requests, no car wash - - ever, no driving the m5 in the rain when it's in for service, etc. It's BMW Gallery in Norwell MA if you're curious.

We'll see, I'm excited about it, I just hope it works and I don't grow tired of the color combo.

i don't know if any of you are aware, but that color combo is banned on the E9x. It is funny, I have not seen one combo not happen here on 1addicts. I am waiting for sedona/terra, and that's about it
