What Color did you Order?

ChrisK · 12-31-2007, 08:59 AM

I was all wrong about what I thought would be popular.

B25 Jim · 12-31-2007, 10:33 AM

I'm really suprised there aren't more Sedona orders... even with the negative reports from autoshows, people still seemed to be in love with that color.

TunedM2C · 12-31-2007, 10:37 AM

I keep teter totering between silver & black. Life could be worse I guess.

joelk · 12-31-2007, 11:05 AM

so basically 1)white 2) black 3) grey 4) silver

way to go people. real adventurous! (i ordered black so just joking)

ChrisK · 12-31-2007, 11:25 AM

I was 100% sold on the Sedona Red until I saw the car in the shade. Then it looked Brown and Dull.

Random Sample · 12-31-2007, 07:28 PM

Alpine White - no doubt.

Boost TiAg:

ChrisK · 01-02-2008, 11:25 AM

The car looks very nice in TiAg!!!

GatoGrande · 01-02-2008, 03:45 PM

Hmmm.... whick color is TiAG - that is nice! Is that Cashmere Silver Metalic?? Looks beautiful!!! Maybe I need to re-consider my choice of Sparkling Graphite??? Although Sparkling Graphite looks pretty cool too... oh I don't know !!!!

titanium silver

GatoGrande · 01-02-2008, 06:34 PM

Very nice!

ChrisK · 01-18-2008, 02:56 PM

We should sticky this.

dclee1 · 01-18-2008, 03:57 PM

Monaco blue here - not many on this bandwagon but I really don't think you can go wrong on a color with this car...:thumbup:

larryn · 01-18-2008, 07:22 PM

110 cars already ordered from this one site alone... Damn. We should've been more organized and done a group buy. Imagine the Client Advisor salivating when you walk in and say I want to buy 110 1er coupes please. :wink:

infinitekidM2C · 01-18-2008, 07:25 PM

I just placed my vote as i just got my production #...Sapphire Black +1

Khobin~ · 01-18-2008, 08:36 PM

wow...who'd have thought White, Black, and silver would be the most popular:wink:

I'm taking home a Montego.

SA135i · 01-19-2008, 12:36 AM

You will need to adjust the figures slightly for me. I placed my initial order in AW (and voted that here) but I decided to change to Sedona Red (which seems to be the least favourite colour here.)

Changed mainly because there are WAY WAY to many white cars (closely followed by SG and TiAG on BMWs anyways) on the road here and I feel that the special "cult" appeal of the 135 deserves a "different"/unique colour. If these results are reflective of the true orders then I will definately have a unique colour, now just hope I like it.

I like Sedona quite a bit, and I think it will be a great color to live with. The negative perception around here is strictly because it's been force-fed to us so much during these long months of pre-production photos. Some think it doesn't do well under artificial lighting either, which doesn't help car show impressions.

Anyhow, it's a bold choice... and :respekt: for the desire to stand out a bit.

SA135i · 01-19-2008, 01:37 AM

Hi Cracka, thanks for the words of encouragement. I must say I have liked the inital pics I saw of Sedona from day 1. I think I got a bit of "cold feet" when I saw the reaction to the colour from those who saw it in person. But as I mentioned above, I think this car deserves to stand out from the crowd. :roundel:

(PS! Hey, I see this is my 100th post - drumroll....)

ScullyD · 01-19-2008, 11:01 AM

SA135i, i've been hemming and hedging on calling my dealer and changing from Sedona Red to TiAG or White or Black for a while now. Your enthusiasm is for the color is giving me some faith to stick with it. But there still is a distinct possibility I might switch to Titanium and add the sports pack. I think i'm caving to peer pressure a bit on the sports pack for the sport seats, and i don't think Sedona Red looks right with the Shadowline Trim. Unfortunately in the US, we can't have it any other way.
