Oh yea

There is nothing like a nice open top Vert.

I often compare driving a true sports car Vert to the feeling I had when I rode Motorcycles. Wind in your face with lots of power :headbang:

White/Red, the combo I wish I had in my car.

Welcome back Tagman. That is awesome.
What was the original colour combo you had on the Cabrio you had previously ordered?

JohnnyTT · 04-25-2008, 05:00 PM

My Convertible on the way is...

Hopefully it will be here end of May!!!! :thumbup:

Zuzu · 04-25-2008, 05:17 PM

Way to go Tagman..The verts rule..hahaha..still have a five week wait for mine.Still on the boat.
I have driven the 335i vert with the sun reflective BLACK leather here in Sydney Australia in mid summer with temp around 85 to 100 deg and can tell you no matter what colour you choose the leather wont cook you.
Obviously the lighter the colour the cooler it will be,but dont get turned away from the darker shades.I chose coral on saphire Black.The coral in person looks nothing like any of the pix that have been posted.It is richer and deeper and gives the vert the real sports/convertible look.
Good luck with your decission.

Ahhh, you remember the original order... cool.

Well, it was ordered in Crimson Red, but with Taupe interior... Savannah wasn't a sure thing at that time. The top being standard black. It will still be available in one week, but I don't think the color combo is what I really want.

I'm narrowing it down in my mind to Alpine with Savannah and either a black top or a Moonlight top... or... maybe Titanium Silver with the same Savannah beige interior... also not sure again about standard black top or Moonlight top.

There have been some good color suggestions, but hopefully I can come up with a color combo that I can lock-in with real soon.

You might want to check out Texas' SGM with Black & Moonlight, not that I'm biased or anything.

I saw a 330i convertible in SF yesterday. it was red with saddle leather. Top was down and the combo was awesome. Terra is close to Saddle. Red/Beige would be nice as well. Silver/Terra or Silver/Red would look great!

SGM + Coral looks great, go see one in person if you haven't, pictures don't do it justice.

My choice would be Titanium Silver, Savanna and Gray Poplar Wood

Tradin'-in your man-card for a vert, huh, OK, might as well swap the Levis for a sundress and bonnet, what the heck, change sides.:biggrin: I'm kidding, just kidding...:wink:

Yeah... That's what I've got in mind. We're on the same page. Looks terrific, IMO.

Which top? Standard black or Moonlight? I'm thinking Moonlight is the one.

Oh yeah!... Especially with the convertible to get the 18" wheels. But I'm going for those painful seats, too... LOL!

Moonlit top looks great, will be easier to maintain and is only $100 bucks more.

I agree. Looks like you are getting close to yours. Should be a beautiful car.
