Monaco blue under carshow lights (NY Autoshow)

wyrm11 · 04-24-2006, 12:00 AM

It looks so blue in those pics, and yet SO black in the other ones. Which is more representative of what Monaco looks like most of the time? Is it really that hard to tell that it's blue?

This Blue is so nice. I just ordered one. If you like the dark colors it will please the eye. Changes from morning sunlight, afternoon and night time. Looks great. :rocks:

Are those chrome 162's?
Where did you get them?

Yeah, they're factory chrome 162's. We got them from our dealer. We made them throw them in for free as part of the deal. They look amazing on the dark colored cars!

if you opted for monaco blue/gray/walnut combination, would you care to post couple of shots of the interior ? I've ordered this combination, dying to see how that would look like, haven't found this combo in my dealer's lot

Thank you in advance.

One more set of pics after completing my last mod, the blackline tails.

Rorschach · 05-26-2006, 04:20 PM

Love those puffy clouds.

deltron · 05-27-2006, 10:31 PM

Rorschach, nice pictures of your car man. The shot with the clouds reflecting on the hood are awesome.

What do you use to keep your car so tidy. I have a Monaco Blue 325xi crossing the pond, and I've read from some posts the color is hard to maintain. Any secrets?
