Anyone Seen Sonora

shack · 08-21-2005, 07:13 AM

I'm getting ready to order and have just about decided to go with Sonora over the titanium silver on my current 325xiT.

Anybody had eyes on the color - you can't tell squat from brochures or cinfigurators....

TIA

I think it would look great on a T -- it is similar to the look of the olivene on the 5 series, which I think is one of the best colors for the 530i. My only hesitation is that it is one of those colors that goes much better with chrome trim. It just does not work right with the black.

These should be sonora

Seen it on a 1 Series like in jwockys link, and to me it looks horrible

Nikki · 08-21-2005, 10:25 AM

Ugh it looks like the color of vomit.

That would have been Olivine, since Sonora is not available on the 5 Series

Sonora is a bit more beige than Olivine

Oh ok thanks for correcting me, but it was fugly.

Wow, no offense but I really don't like it. Looks like it's a military issued beamer. But it's your car and you have to look at it every day so don't listen to us.

That color on the 1 is much more green than sonora which looks more gold to me. One BMW guy told me they used to have this as a wagon color about 5 years ago.

I guess I'll have to see it in the "flesh." Good news is I can change the color on the order if I want up to 90 days prior to production -- just need to see it by then...

Well that 1 Series is Sonora

Sonora has been available on the 1 series for a while

But as usual metallics look different under different lighting conditions and different in different pictures

Jason · 08-22-2005, 08:16 PM

Here's another Sonora on a 1 series

cannonspike22 · 08-22-2005, 08:31 PM

man thats the ugliest looking color paint that has ever been made in the history of mankind PERIOD!

no offense dude, its all my honest opinion

theclay · 08-22-2005, 10:01 PM

Put some green wheels on it and you'll look like a real PIMP!

Just kidding, it's bad, real bad.

JVFan · 08-22-2005, 10:57 PM

Add black wheels and it would be

IMHO as always

Tierfreund · 08-23-2005, 03:08 AM

I really like Sonora. It´s rare, it´s different, it´s lovely.

Honestly, if Sonara was available right now, it would have been my choice over blue. In every picture I've seen it on the 1 series, it really looks cool.
