SGM owners, what leather?

60Driver · 03-25-2008, 02:44 AM

Hey all you SGM owners. What color leather did you order? It was easy for me to decide to buy the 135i. It's been hell trying to figure out what color and leather. I finally settled on SGM (probably) and would like to know what others are doing with their leather choices. Currently I'm going with black. The coral looks nice but is probably too flashy for me. Anyone doing anything else? Provide a picture if possible! :biggrin:

Thanks!

I didn't order SGM, but I used to have one in a different model. I had the gray interior which looked amazing. SGM, Gray Interior, and Gray Poplar IMO is absolutely amazing. Black would be nice, and Coral looks great. It depends on what kind of look you want - fast and sporty? Or classy and elegant?

That is a great way of putting it. Now I just have to fugure out which one of those applies.

Gone the Black Boston with Accentuated Aluminium trim.

Tossed up the Terra leather, but didn't have the courage to follow through. Have seen grey interior, and it looks very nice as well.

BLACK or TERRA
I went with Black but had much trouble deciding between these two.

I figure my last car will be long and black, with a black interior, and they'll slide me in the back.

While I'm still alive, I'm going to drive something a little livelier.

My SGM has the Coral interior: sober from a distance & psycho up close. There are lots of photos on this board; it looks fabulous.

Nice we will have the same cars but across the land! minus the sunroof.....:biggrin:

But SGM, Black Boston and Acc Ali.... not to much just right IMHO!

Im also getting the sparkling graphite metallic color. Its a little darker then normal grey cars which I love. For that reason I got the black leatherette with high gloss black trim. I think the whole dark look makes it a little more menacing and sporty looking from the drivers seat.

atr_hugo · 03-25-2008, 08:22 AM

SGM and Taupe for me - wanted something light inside and don't like the amount of 'blue' in the gray. Plus when microwave ovens were brand new I had a friend who made 'gray' steaks one night - gray and cows don't go togteher. ; -)

TitoSkulls · 03-25-2008, 09:28 AM

I also wanted a little lighter interior, I went with Savanna beige.

PUREPHAZED · 03-25-2008, 09:40 AM

Black leather and high-gloss trim. Love it.

mchaskell · 03-25-2008, 11:00 AM

Grey leather with Grey Poplar trim.

spudw · 03-25-2008, 11:06 AM

Anyone seen SGM and Lemon? That could look really nice.

Personally I'm a big fan of black leather, but terra would be great with SGM...

JSierra · 03-25-2008, 11:12 AM

I went with Gray Boston Leather....

I think that's it exactly. I ended up with SGM because at my age, what do I really need with a red sports car? And BMW is famous for making 'boring' colors, like gray, look beautiful. It'll probably be a black interior but I will keep my mind open. :iono:

Exactly. Maybe tone down the paint and throw some color on the seats.

asv · 03-25-2008, 12:34 PM

Coral Red or Black. I went with Coral red, and I absolutely love it.

Interesting, valid viewpoint. Debating...

I would love to see the SGM/Taupe combo. I feel the same about the gray.

Hadn't thought about Savanna with the SGM. Another one I'd like to see pictures of. Delivery date any time soon?

Ah, asv. I think I can safely (jokingly) blame you for my dilemma. It was black leather until I saw all your pictures! Very nice indeed.
