Marrakesh Brown for the 1-Series LCI?

bbbradley · 12-21-2010, 12:25 PM

Saw a smokin', sexy brown Impala on the road today.

Yeah I'm gonna want to see the color first hand but if I order my 128i LCI today I would get MB/Oyster with the Sport package and tint it as well. It would be quite the looker.

This color looks out of place on the 1er, it should be reserved for the SAVs and the 7 Series. The color says I'm a expensive and rare luxury machine.

...or flush me down the toilet.

I have seen a few 1er's in this color. It looks good if you ask me. Here are some photos. Sorry they are not the best quality.

here is an X1 taken at the Leipig Factory.

I actually like it better on the 1 than on the X1, or maybe it just because I find the X1 ugly no matter what color it features...
The color as a luminous feel, it looks deep, not just brownish.
Saab had a great black with a brown hint that they used to call Espresso Black, a bit the same idea as the Jerez Black on the M3 but with a brown hint instead of a blue hint...

I'd just go with the classic black interior with a brown car.

It looks great. First time I've been MB on a 1er. Gonna have to seriously consider MB as a option..with black leather as my interior color.

I also remembered I took these pics of a lucky German owner taking delivery at the Welt.

and this one...

Brandon26pdx · 12-22-2010, 09:31 PM

It's not bad, not my style though. Looks like something a college professor in a corduroy jacket would go for.

Brandon26pdx · 12-22-2010, 09:34 PM

These 18's are pretty fly though

Agreed. Wish the offered more wheel options over here.

Dackelone · 12-23-2010, 04:43 PM

^^^The above wheels are available thru BMW Performance catalog. They are the same 18"s that come on the 335is.

Note - the small-ish brake calipers bc this is a diesel model 120d I think.
