Any chance the US will ever see the lemon interior? I love the light colored seats but I hate light colored floors. The lemon interior has the black floor which makes it sharp as hell and a lot less dirty

[Paul330d]

I usually go with the now slightly boring black on beige, but when I discovered the lemon interior (thanks, it has to be said, to this forum) I ordered that. I don't understand why it isn't offered in the US.

Pics?

[Paul330d]

This is the first pic I saw of the lemon in real life (it's in the colour thread in the photo section). I was hooked!

Broken1 has Black with Lemon

That is the same pic that hooked me. I know it is not as white as it appears here and it is indeed a lemon color, but I love the constast of Light and dark. I think in the US, the only thing that comes close is the Dakota but it is a bit too dark and a bit too brown for my tastes but I may have to go with it.

I love the look of the aluminum trim and black interior but I do not want to deal with the scratches and dents in the trim. Not sure if wood and black is the best option for me.

Its nice, but I still like my beige...

[Paul330d]

Black on beige is a great combo, too, and I would probably have chosen that, had I not seen the above photo on this forum. Also, I have already had 3 black/beige cars and wanted a bit of a change.

I'd take the lemon over biege anyday.. I've seen em both live and lemon is ownage! It's almost like a individual color!

That's what swayed me. e90s are pretty rare where I live anyway, but nobody has got lemon. When I ordered mine, the dealer had to look up the reference code, because he said it was the first time he had ever specified lemon

Is there a BMW Individual option for the 3 in Europe?

Yes, about a half dozen extra colours.

There're only 2 interiors with great reflection: Terra and Lemon. I like terra too.

Terra may be the way to go with the wood trim. I love light interiors but hate light carpet.

I am getting a black car. I want the interior to always look clean if the exterior will not be

Hi Paul330d, you just have to go over the belgian Border, the dealer tried from the beginning to sale me a lemon interior!
I was already on the way to choose this combo, but i wanted to see it in live. 2 Weeks later when i was going to sign, he managed to get a 320d, jet black, 18 inch wheels, lemon interior....
He was trying to get such one for his showroom since weeks.....
as mentionned in other post, it is VERY sensible...the last WE, i gone to the showroom, just to see it once more time, and after 2 WE, it is already dirty (a little bit), OK i saw also 2 Guys seating in the car with black jeans.
But when you sign your order with a lemon interior just 2 meter behind you, if you like ligth colored interior...then you simply can't resist.
for the US market, i think the only workaround is BMW individual with for example a "champagne" (i think it is still available for the e90).

Otherwise you are rigth the ligth colored are in North France not usual. Here in HH, Germany, i tried to find a lemon during 3 weeks in all dealers in the town (4)...Nothing!

[Paul330d]

I still haven't seen the lemon interior in person and ordered blind from the pix on this forum! I have visited 6 local dealers, including one in Belgium, and none had one to show me. Everyone takes silver with black interiors here (or, if they're feeling adventurous, black on beige), so that's what the dealers order for their showrooms.

I am expecting the worst with regard to cleaning the seats, but as you say, it looks so good I just couldn't resist. Maybe I could find some lemon-coloured jeans on the Internet somewhere

[dtelle]

During the last winter sale off, i bougth myself a lot of ligth colored trousers ...........
Otherwise i can give you the address of a dealer in Bruxelles with a lemon interior....it is just 1,5 hours away from Douai...you know for the next WE, because i am sure that you will find that end of mars, it is still to far away....it is already the second time, that during a WE in bruxelles, i go to the dealer just to see it once more time!

It is the same in Germany...mostly Arktis or silver with black interior

[Paul330d]

Yes, please tell me which dealer in Brx has the lemon!! Is the car black? Must go & see that!!

P.S. I can't believe we are actually buying our clothes to go with the interior of our cars!

[3s-a-charm]

I believe Canadians can order the Lemon interior as well. Not my cup-o-tea but I did see it in the brochure.

[rickb]

Just a little off topic, but since someone mentioned it: I have a sapphire / terra 325i and get nothing but compliments on the interior. Generally folks will want to see the new car, comment on how nice it looks, and then as they get in and see the interior, say something like "Wow, this is really nice! Very cool colors! I've never seen this before!"

OK, back to your regularly sceduled (lemon) topic...

[dtelle]

Paul330d, you will find a 320d, 162 Wheels, Saphir Black with tinted windows (i don't really like it but...) AND Lemon interior at BMW Brussels, Avenue L. Mommaertslaan 2 1140 Bruxelles, (in french the street is "avenue Leonard Mommaerts", you know in Belgian you better have to notice any address in french and dutch.... ) You can contact me by privat message i will give you the phone number of my dealer.
open saturday till 5.00 PM, close sunday.

Do you know how to post a picture? i want to insert a screenshoot of my Navigation software; but i don't know how

[dtelle]

Otherwise terra is great, a good compromise "easy to care"-"NOT A BLACK INTERIOR". But my wife said to terra "NNOO".

and when she says something

May be she will regreat it, when i will repeat over and over."take care of the seats"
