JB or JzB would also look fantastic with RB if you were ok maintaining a black car.
If you're worried about resale value, I think RB would be a much safer bet. Brown is a more popular interior color, and MCB is an awfully bright blue that some people might not like; I personally preferred LMB since I like that deeper royal blue. As far as repairs, on the other hand, I think MCB would actually be far easier to get replacement paint for than getting replacement RB parts. MCB is still an official BMW paint with an official paint code that can therefore be matched by body shops, whereas I don't think there are "dye codes" for leather, in which case if you did need brand new upholstery you'd have to go through BMW Individual for spare parts, which could be tricky. I could be wrong about not having dye codes though.
Good luck!
UPDATE: Found some great shots of MCB with LMB: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showpos...56&postcount=1 |
I agree, he has to see Fox Red in person to appreciate it. Pictures do the Red Fox no justice at all I find ...
