Get the Barrique w/beige and poplar wood..I think you'll find less of this color in the future.

See my siggy. I am not into wood but definitely go with the MB.

There won't be many in this color. I was at the factory looking at the cars coming off the production and didn't see a single one. All SG, blacks, white and arctic.

If you want uniqueness go with Mystic Blue.

In the last few weeks I have now been able to see in person ALL of the colors available. Before deciding I hope you can do the same. All of the pictures on this site help, but seeing them in person is the only way to know for sure.

Color choice was the hardest part for me. I knew which model, options, etc. I wanted immediately after the test drive but I had a hard time deciding color. I have owned three BLUE BMWs and would have bet anything the new one would be blue also. However, I found Monaco too dark and Mystic never really got me excited on previous models.

Everyone in my area seems to have a Silver, Black, or Gray BMW. I wanted something different so I took a chance and ordered Barrique Red from a color chip. After finally seeing it on a car I do not regret my choice. At first I ordered Black/Aluminum but changed it to Terra/Aluminum after seeing that interior in a showroom.

Mystic has been around a while and I always found it a little flat looking in certain lighting but it is still a very pleasing color and looks great on the e90. I'd get Black with Aluminum with Mystic.

If you don't like Barrique after you see it and still want something out of the ordinary try to see a Deep Green car. It is a great looking color, especially with Terra.

You can probably tell I'm an Aluminum fan. It's just more sporty in my eyes and coordinates with the gear shifter and door handles. If you like a more luxury look the wood is very well done in the e90. I like the Burl Walnut over the Poplar in just about all wood accent interiors.

Happy shopping - no matter what the color you will love driving this car!
