That shot of yours with the sun shining on the rear really shows up how stunning a colour Marrakesh Brown is You were lucky you ordered it when you did, as BMW have now dropped the colour as an option for the E82 coupe (well it's been dropped in the UK at least?)

Yep, the Marrakesh Brown is no longer available. The color is very different. It can look deep brown, root beer or... ?? My client advisor told me I have a unique car... one of a few that aren't a 3 series white or silver in the Bay Area . hehe. |

Thanks
My best friend of 30 odd years, married an American girl and emigrated out to your part of the world some 10 years ago, so I've been a regular visitor to the Bay Area during that time.

I had a MINI in Hot Chocolate... looked like a big rolling terd. At least this brown has some color to it. The color I really liked on BMW was the copper color they had back when - don't know if they make that anymore.

Realized today that the car was half in bright sun and half in the shade, which might a good way to show the variety of colors this brown paint displays.
It looks different again on a cloudy day, but you can't have it all at once.... Even the dealership doesn't quite know what to make of the color. The last time I brought it in, in the "color" space on the tracking sheet, the SA wrote "gold". I guess "brown" is just not a luxury car color.... Anyway, it's a camera phone photo, but it's something....

this color is just awful. I am very open minded but, all I see is poopy spread across every inch of the cars surface.

Sorry you don't like it. I get compliments from random strangers a few times a month, so I guess it really appeals to some people, and others don't like it. I really like it much better than the frequent black, white and gray that most people seem to choose. Those feel so boring. But that's the wonder of selection. We can each get what we want.

Pulling this post back from the dead...
About 3 months ago I came across the 1er I currently own. Previously owned by lovelife. I was hesitant about Marrakesh and Coral, but wow does it just work. I'm in the same boat, non stop compliments on the color. Thank you for ordering it that way!! I'll try to upload some pics later on Last edited by ITSSTI; 01-23-2019 at 10:52 AM.. |
