Interior Preferences

[MrRetrofit]

I like how one of mine was ordered with champagne seats and armrest but requested the doorcards to be kept black

I love some of the individual paint an interior colours!

Silver or black paint is my least favourite and ive owned a lot of silver and black cars! Not a fan of grey interiors at all!

two of my E46 Alpinas have been individual, B3S convertible was Atlantis blue with Ecru Alcantata and the B3 3.3 Saloon Orionoco green with piped great leather and Rhombs.

Also owned an. E46 330i Sport touring in techno violet with light yellow nappa leather.

When i finally could buy a new BMW it was always going to have individual paint and interior.





Its not an Alpina but never the less its a special car to me. I actually picked the interior colour first, Golden brown merino, extended including the full dashboard.

The toss up in pain colour was between, Avus blue, Techno Violet Petrol Mica and this, Verde Ermes.

Its a Lamborghini peal effect paint that changes quite a bit depending on light. Quite dark like Boston green when its dark, a brighter green in daylight and really bright green with a gold effect in direct sunlight.

Green over brown is not your typical M car combo! So happy with my decision.

its a great combo, my old E36 B3 was also same style.

Simon, that was a beautiful car. Must have been a hard decision to sell? Do you know where it is now?

shes a high miler Paul! its on about 255k last i heard. Its on this forum still Shaziman has it. I sold it as i had the E46 B3S touring and i didn't need both and my opinion was i think the E46 is the better car in terms of how they drive mainly and the stlying i prefer. The e36 B3 is still the best car i've owned in alot of ways

Nice to know it’s still going strong and being looked after. E36s are a real modern classic now, they just get better. In green, with gold deko and that interior.... Super special!

Green and gold wheels is absolutely right. My 3100 was Modena with gold revolutions, I loved it.

Off thread subject but your colour choices are close to mine, Avus is the colour of my e36, both techno and Daytona violet have always been wanted, but not found and velvet blue is similar. I also like ruby black, but it’s a very rare colour and again never found the right car at the right time.

I really think we all must be on the OCD spectrum. Why else would we even be in This thread!!

Is it not a pre-requisite for any car enthusiast? Although being enthusiastic about certain marks must mean a higher reading on the spectrum (like anything built by British leyland )

I love that combination, these new greens are very appealing to me. That interior colour too, in my eyes a perfect compliment.

Just caught up on this thread. That is a lovely combo.

Thought this was the new M5 CS for a min then, very similar to that look. I love it, I think the Green is very cool and the interior really pops against it.

Here’s a pic I took of your car at Ace

As we are talking about classic looks here, Champagne really is one of the all time classic BMW leathers, just beautiful

Yours must be merino? Lovely car Shailen!

If anyone would like to be in the driving seat of this interior, I'm selling the car! See viewtopic.php?f=56&t=25094

Many thanks,

Shailen
