Alpine white or Montego Blue??? help me decide!
Hi
I am choosing between either a montego blue 135 or an alpine white 135... the montego is 2009 28k miles in state... the alpine white is 2009 13k miles 2 states away... Both exactly the same price. Which would you go for? I love lemans blue but have never ever seen montego blue..so unsure how it would look semi-modded few cf accessories and csl reps.. HELP ME OUTTTT |

I'd go for the white only because of the miles. 15k miles vs. Blue paint isn't an equal trade for the same price. Montego is brighter than Le Mans. If you really like the blue though, go for it. White is nice and all, but boring after awhile!

I'd choose the alpine for how crisp it looks and the mileage!

Le Mans Blue was my first choice and AW my second. Pulled on the blue. In your case I agree with those above less miles ='s more than a paint color. Although in reality they both have low milage. Look into service records as Maxnix recommends etc...

I say go for the AW. I test drove that Montego blue and it was obvious that taking care of the 135i wasn't their highest priority. That's why I didn't pull the trigger on it.

Be original and go blue. My wife's X5 is Montego Blue and the color is gorgeous, made me wish I had gotten my 135i that color. In some light, it looks black, while in others the blue just pops. AW is so overdone, I think it is the most popular color, but I have nothing to back it up other than the fact that there are like 1,135 pages of AW in the picture threads and like 5 of the blue (I exaggerate of course...).

I would go for the AW...because of the miles.... even if it is two states away. I flew and drove back from Dallas to pick mine up, and I live in SoFla too. It all depends if you're shopping a good deal or not... but if it is 2000 miles away, that's another story....a bit of a longer drive/more expensive shipping costs, but even then, sometimes worth it.
It is important to me, to see the car before forking a check of that size...so I wouldn't give any money but a small deposit, until I'd have driven/seen the car. But that's just me. |
