It's one of my last picks, BUT I did see a Sonora 330 with beige interior and it looked pretty nice. Oddly, that color really looks best IMO on cloudy or rainy days... the color takes on a deep bronze like tint and it looks real mean. Also, if you get that color, you'll be one of only a few!

I wonder how many Sonora E90's have been sold at US and A so far. I remember someone here posting a pic of it here before so that's 1!

Yeah, Sonora is "not good" to look at whatsoever.

I've seen one Sonara E90 - and it actually looked sOOOO hot. It was unique and special. I would definately consider it...WOW. I have also seen it on an X3 and 1 series, and I really think it looks good.

For the past two days, there has been a Sonora E90 sitting in the car park at work and I have to say it looks pretty tasty. Judging by the shine, it appears to be brand new which always helps to give a good impression, but it has much more depth than the colour chart indicates.
The interior is beige, but Sonora is sufficently metallic and darkish bronze that it does stand out and prevent the interior /exterior merging into one. Makes my Sparkling Graphite look a little boring ...... but it does need a clean! |

I saw one in person for the first time this weekend. Well, let's just say maybe it wasn't in the right lighting. It looked beige with a green hue...not so great.

In my opinion, the BMW body paint chieff, or whatever, should be fired! Whith so many beautifull gold-silver shades available and requested by customers -Jaguar, M Benz, Rolls Royce...- he includes that ugly color that nobody seem to like.
To me it looks like a military color. |

I think it would be a nice color in Seattle. I like it's look on cloudy days and indoors. But in bright sunlight it looks like Elvis Presley's gold suit. That's just too much to deal with.
