Colour choice

Definitely Melbourne Red for me. Although I now own a white one.

I do like MR, would be my choice if i bought again.
But not if it looks like post office van in the flesh. Much like a deeper cherry red.

Not keen on white, especially later, looks like part of bumper missing.

What alloys are those on your old red one?

I bought them from another Forum member. I’ll look back through my posts to see if I can find the make . I loved the look but they were beggars to clean.

Beyern Aviatics, if I remember correctly. They were on Bobs car before we bought it.

Absolutely correct. Just found the info in my old PMs. They are Bayern Aviatics Front 19 x 8.5 ET 30
Rear 19 x 9.5 ET 35

Nice wheels suits the car and looks a little like Alpinas but true must be a pain to clean!

The colour you’re talking about can take a long time to shift if you choose to sell in future… so that might tell you what you want to know about the colour’s popularity

Certainly don’t pay a premium for that colour.

I’ve seen a couple in the metal and they didn’t do it for me, but we’re all different.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This, but it’s obvs your money and choice so if it floats your boat all’s good.

Pity they don't do it in Sterling Grey, big mistake IMO

VO for me, just a gorgeous colour for me with DSB second, one thing I find frustrating as new models are released by BMW the colour choice gets less adventurous, think Sapang Bronze and Phoenix Yellow for e85/86, then Havana Brown and Atacama Yellow for E89 and then frozen grey for the g29.

think how good the e89 would look in Sepang Bronze or Phoenix Yellow

What 'dog shite brown' or 'baby puke yellow'? I've thought about it ......no thanks!

Why would it worry you?
Would only be on your drive a week.

enuff_zed, great point, the more he spouts off about what is or isn't attractive the more I think he's visually impaired, just the civic!
Even with the grille, this looks stunning, makes the white g29 behind look plain.

As an impoverished student, I had a Ford Orion 1.6i Ghia that was metallic bronze(ish) in colour. I was terribly precocious. Perhaps someone from BMW spotted me wheel-spinning away from traffic lights in Saaf Lundun and was inspired to create the polished turd colour that has become so popular

Still brown! Brown should stay in the 1970s where it belongs.
