Fox Red Novillo not available with Silverstone II?
That's what I hear from my dealer....maybe it's a good thinkg since SSII has a greenish tinge to it. Has anyone seen this color comobo?

He's a moron and please be sure to let him know we think so and show him a few pics. If you search on Silverstone you'll see hundreds of examples.
The "greenish" hue exists but only under indoor (parking car) lighting. It's mostly silver and under overcast, light blue. It in no way clashes with the FR interior. My 2011 in this combo. These are NOT my pics. Last edited by BigHat; 08-13-2010 at 05:27 PM.. |

This seems to be a fairly common issue! I wonder if the OP is leasing. If he is, perhaps BMWNA has some color combinations flagged as being "unusual" (for lack of a better term) and they want dealers to discourage these orders as it makes the resale after the lease is up more difficult. Just a guess...

Yes, I will be leasing.
He's a good advisor (I've bought 2 other cars from him), and definitely not a moron (he's quite good at Euro Delivery)....it's likely the system rejected him adding the color. Of course, I can push back on this or even look at the two-tone seats that will be availalble with sept builds (black/red, black/silver). Would be good to see pictures of the blac/silver first (black/red is on the frozen gray cars). I just checked the latest 2011 M3 borchure and sure enough it shows only two interior options are avlaible with SSII - Black and Grey. Hmmmm.... Got to say the color options on the M3 (especially the exterior ones) are really poor. You can get more options on a 335....and I dont want to pay $5k for a special order color on a lease My SA |

Fair enough but it is strange that SA's are telling buyers this combo is not available...

As far as the brochure is concerned I'm puzzled a well. Take two seconds and try to b "build one" on BMWUSA website like I just confirmed is doable. The system couldn't have rejected the color. Last edited by BigHat; 08-13-2010 at 05:36 PM.. |

Big Hat: Any more pics of your ride? I'd love to see more
BTW: I've already locked in the price for my car and have my allocation for European delivery. I have about a month until I need to lock on final colors. I hated selling my E46 M3 coupe last year....happy to be getting my "M" back! and man....these lease rates are amazingly good. Less than $800/month with no money down, fully loaded with 12k miles/year (yes, I had to max out the MSDs). Tnx

August residuals for the E93 are at 66% for 3 years with a money factor of .0018. Super good. Figure in euro delivery pricing and its a great time to get one. Actually less $ than a loaded 335is convertible.

when I bought my SG M3, that particular color combo sat on the showroom floor for months because a customer ordered it then backed out. The salesperson said that it appeals to some but not all people.

I have an E90 in SSII with Fox Red. When I went to order the car the dealer did not have any trouble ordering this color combo. I also am leasing. I think the combo looks great and it is not something you see all the time like AW/Black or Black/Black.

There is a hint of blue under certain lighting but no green. I've gotten many compliments on the color from NON car people as well as car guys. I think its stunning in person.

When I ordered my SSII via military sales in 2009, Fox Red and Bamboo would not "recommended" by BMW, as printed in a brochure at the dealer.
I ordered Bamboo and love it. The local German dealer had a E90 in the FR/SSII as well. At least this was for 2009......
