Hahahahaha LOL

cozza

Maybe they don't have yellow cabs in the U.S.

I must say, I agree with the others though, the yellow looks awesome on the 1er coupe body :smile:

cozza · 09-05-2008, 01:37 AM

Don't have yellow cabs? I don't think they come in any other colour (color):

RobLS · 09-05-2008, 01:41 AM

hehe I agree, but out here out of the big city, theres not many cabs like that, and the ones I do see around here aren't in yellow. I still really dislike yellow on any car though.

RobLS · 09-05-2008, 01:41 AM

scratch that, exotic cars ARE an exception

LOL you are right, I actually did realise they do after thinking about it after my post - always see the yellow cabbies in all their movies LOL :smile:

Still as RobLS mentioned yellow does look stunning on exotics :smile:

Dakar Yellow was quite a bit more pale than a taxi yellow. Some hint of lime green in there too.

om nom nom

OK, MisterKris, you are a bastard and I hate you because that looks so awesome!

Someone please send this to someone at BMW so they can get a clue and start offering this car! In fact, I would be willing to easily pay $1000 extra for this color.

I work for BMW although not in the colour choosing department. I'll see if I can find someone to pass on your thoughts to :smile:

Excellent photoshops and I totally agree that BMW need more colours. 24 shades of grey and 2 reds doesn't cut it. Although sadly, BMW aren't alone in this respect. Even Subaru and other Japanese manufacturers have miserable colour choices.

I chose Sedona because I thought it would stand out the most in a sea of grey.

PS. I would also love to see a Laguna Seca blue 1er PS. That was my hero colour on the E46 M3.

Laguna Seca Blue was easily my favorite color on the E46 M3. I would love to see a photoshop of a 1er in that color.

Laguna Seca all the way.
I've been trying to PS it, but it's hard to get just that right tone even with a good M3 photo to work with.
I'm sure it's considered an M3 color so BMW will never do it.

Misterkris · 09-05-2008, 04:24 PM

ive tried twice to make a lagunna seca but it keeps coming out too light

Guibo · 09-05-2008, 06:53 PM

Hard to get the depth right, but here's a shot.

135i_TT · 09-05-2008, 06:57 PM
