Do you wish you had a different color combo?

M3maniac20 · 04-21-2011, 05:03 PM

I would for sure stick with the same color. But if I felt like paying 10k plus for paint and interior...

I would have done ruby black with the rust interior. I'll always spend way too much on a car, but I can't justify spending $8,000 for a paint color.

A few days ago, I would have said yes - I wish i had Jerez Black. However, today, as I walked through downtown I saw a JZB M3 with many paint swirls on it. They were screaming look at me as the car glimmered in the sun. Even though I would not run the car through the wash - it is bound to happen at some point. Dealers do it shamelessly to cars that are serviced.

AW is great because not only does it make the car look awesome, but the paint stays in pretty good shape. I have 3M clear bra up from with additional pieces in key spots. The car is in great shape.

Interior-wise, I would swap my black extended for red extended.

To this day, I still love my color combo... Hellrot is such an amazing color...

Hellrot / Rust Brown.

Hellrot / Rust Brown.

Rust Brown I debated when I ordered mine but couldn't justify nearly an extra £2000. It does look amazing though!

Totti · 04-22-2011, 06:15 AM

Imagine that Rust with black contrast stitching - wowwzers. Car looks dope though.

Poofyo101 · 04-22-2011, 08:28 AM

Love my car.
Only color I would switch for is AW/FR

What didn't you like about the silver novillo? It wearing out too quickly or something?

vfour · 04-27-2011, 02:36 PM

AW FR/Black/Black..... would order the same in a new york minute!

Seattle S65B40 · 04-27-2011, 02:41 PM

Wow - just now seeing those pics of Hellrot and rust brown interior. Amazing. I take back what i said about that color before. very nice.

VenomBMW · 04-27-2011, 02:50 PM

Best combo is space gray/FR with black mixed in.

RandyB · 04-27-2011, 03:19 PM

I would go Hellrot over Black leather with red stitching possibly, ZCP, CL Trim, 6MT.

Curiously, that WAS my second choice

How's my old friend treating you?

Car is great. Wish the weather here would cooperate a little better though. Dont't you have ED on ur AW zcp in a few weeks?

That hellrot/rust is awesome!

That's a great look. If money were no object I would have gone with Black Ruby and Rust Brown, but that Hellrot looks great. But money is an object and I would rather spend the $12g on performance down the road.

knifegun · 04-27-2011, 04:33 PM

I'd love the GTS orange with a black interior, orange cross stitching, real carbon fiber trim and black or body matching orange wheels,
