I am curious about, Sedona Red and Kashmir Silver. Le Mans Blue is one of my favorites and if it is offered in the US Market it just might be the color I would order.

id lean towards the blue but i dont know what color of wheel i would go with - i really like darker (gunmetal, bronze) colored wheels, and i know no matter what they will end up on there one day. id have to go with black or sparkling graphite, although that red is really growing on me. alpine white ususally looks gorgeous on bimmers but im concerned it will make the 1er look heavyish because of the high shoulderline. but it could be sexy as hell.

Strange coincidence. I Googled "Tahiti Green" on the off chance that there would be something out there on the web on this BMW color. Turns out that Mitsubishi had a color called Tahiti Green for the '93 Mirage. If that weren't strange enough, they also had a Sedona Red!

Too bad Carbon Black will not be available.

BTW, Black Sapphire is similar to Jet Black just has metallic flakes in it. My 0.02, it looks better dirty than Jet Black.

It's from the official German Press release that is posted on a couple threads. I got it from EniLab on GCZ.
Aren't there more press pics due out today? Maybe we'll see some other colors for a change.

I am a huge fan of Alpine White, but I just don't know if the color will look right on the 1 coupe. The flame surfacing kind of requires a dark color so you can see the surfacing and lines of the design. I'm afraid white will make it just look like a big bathtub. :iono:

I'll need a better chop of a white car (or better yet, official pictures in white) until I decide. Its either Le Mans blue or white for me. No silver, black, or gray will do... too common.
