E92 with Champagne interior?

[JBG84]

Hi Guys =)

Looking to become the first BMW owner in my family!

From online photos I think I love the Champagne leather interior colour but...

Am I chasing a pipe-dream?

Have yet to find a single one for sale among 50 or so viewed and listed E92 with DCT across Australia.

I think that in the E92 period, at least in the E9X M3s, the colour you're talking about is Bamboo Beige. Pretty rare I'm afraid but I have seen a few come up in the past. There's no doubt the bulk of M3s came with black leather interiors; smaller numbers had Paladium (silver grey) or Fox Red.

And there is this one >

I've looked over that one. There was some wear on the driver's seat back side bolster, but apart from that the "white" interior seemed to be standing up okay. There are a lot of horror stories on the internet about white leather being very hard to keep clean eg. blue colour off jeans marking it.

Seen optioned on a few examples of E60 M5s and E46 M3s in their day here in Australia.

I've had those same horror stories from a couple of friends who are also fellow BMW drivers!

Keeping the white/champagne colour clean and stain free is actually pretty easy.
You need the right products and maintenance but otherwise don't let the colour deter you if that's your preference.

Shit that's priced really well. I love the piano finish trim I haven't seen another apart from mine in a long time. Sets of the colours nicely. That's a really good buy IMO

Couldn't agree more, the whole package (except for the sunroof) is great for the price, if i didn't already have an M3 I would be looking at this for sure.

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I have an E92 brochure that list Champagne individiual Novillo colour, unfortunately not date marked so I don't know which year.

I do have a 2011 E92 brochure that excludes this colour so quite possibly a limited run.

Yea I have the darker champagne colour - I love it on mine. Mine is on a Jerez Black 2007 M3.

Easy to upkeep and I havent noticed too many colours rubbing off on it. There is some wear on mine and it is very noticeable in the Novillo colour unfortunately, but thems the brakes!

Good luck with your search!

Awesome car! Enjoy.

I've been very pleased with the Bamboo Beige in my car, so over cars with boring black-on-black interiors. Teams with the carbon leather trim very nicely.
