Exterior for Terra

[epecon]

Assuming that Terra interior is made available in the US (I'm praying), what are some recommendations for a good exterior color. My first choice was sparkling graphite but that's the same color as my current car. Is Monaco Blue good with Terra?

Monaco Blue is good or black.

Alpine White

Thats what I have wanted all along.

Monaco / Terra / Gray Pop

I have seen pics of the E92 with this combo and its very very classy.

Me too! Honestly, that's my first choice. Except for the trim. Will have to see in person to decide.

Yea, you're probably right about white, but when it comes right down to it, any color is a PITA to keep "really clean".:wink:

yep... those would be my picks too...

I've been thinking black/black, but without the availability of black trim, I'm thinking that black/blue with terra and walnut trim might be nice...

^^^ Either one, i've seen a 335I in person with the monaco, terra and walnut, its beautiful.

Of all the cars I have had, "White looks the best dirty", i.e. it does not show the dirt... The one problem I have with white is that is shows the TAR much worse, but then that is easily cleaned every 3-6 month, prior to waxing.

I get more compliments on the Terra.. "beatiful interior" is often the comment. It is not a color one sees in many cars.

The one thing I do not like about the Terra is that BMW uses a GREY headliner. It goes with the black dash and trim but not with the Brown. Why didn't they use the tan trim from the Beige interior? Germans.. Function over style.

Sapphire Black, Jet Black or Alpine White.

Yea, I really like the look of the Terra, especially with the contasting door/int panels.

You're right about not seeing it very often also. I stopped at the local BMW dealership yesterday, and every single car on their lot had either tan or grey leather!
