"2014 330D" What beautiful color



Not sure if this car is 2014 but it is unique on its own way, What beautiful color on a M-Sport package.

The color that i like right now is mineral gray. With tinted windows and msport package, it's a mix of sport/classic/modern

Wow, the colour is pretty nice. I like the interior too but that's gonna get dirty real quick!

Very nice color. It goes nicely with the light interiors. However I do not like how the back of the seats are all jet black while the seats are themselves light oyster. The seat backs should have blended in with the seat colors. Plus the color of the plastics should have been oyster too (not black). This is something I do not like much about my beige interiors too. The black plastics just don't do justice to a beige interior.

looks like the iDrive is still the same (not touch drive) and this is similar to Australian style M Sport Package with 403M wheels and fog light with white leather (individual?)

That color is awesome I'd rock that exactly as it is with the white interior and all. I agree about the black seat backs but, that is where my daughter kicks the hell out of my car and if they were white, I wouldn't let her in the car!

I'd like to know the name of the color...

It be nice to see it in daylight. I like it though.
As far as two tone seats, I had it in my e92 (saddle/black) and it's very practical and looks fancy.

The colour is a BMW Individual paint called Smoked Topaz. It is available to order on the F30's in the UK.

This is BMW Individual Opal White, not the beige Oyster Interior.

Yes, this is not the 2014 F30 and is available to order in this spec as an MY2013. Not sure when the new generation iDrive (CIC-HIGH) will be implemented.

Is that mineral grey? Looks so much better in sunlight!

We're certainly lucky in the UK that we can have almost any option with any option! Much stricter in the US, especially with the different Lines. Here, the Lines are purely aesthetic so a Modern or Luxury line will drive identically to a Sport or M Sport if you so wished on the option list.

Not to make you jealous further, but take a look at our configurator - BMW UK really love us!
I think I've set you up a 330d M Sport not too dissimilar to the one featured in the OP.
Mind you, we really pay for the privilege! That said, I have almost fully optioned this up.

Wow...I'd definitely pay the extra price to own that.

Perfect...

Smokey Topaz/Opal White = perfection, with 403M. I'd probably only get Heated Front seats and VSS as options, though, since VSS isn't bundled in the same package as Adaptive. Then add M Perf stuff on...

Wonder if that will ever come to the US...Tanzanite Blue, Smokey Topaz, and Moonstone look stunning on the F30.

Thanks for the config link!

No prob! At current, my next car in 2015 will likely be the F30 LCI (though that's looking 2016 unfortunately) or the 4 Series Gran Coupe in 430d or 435d form - cash dependent! And Tanzanite Blue has been there a while so that was the plan. Then they added Moonstone with Smoked Topaz and, well, Moonstone is going to make my future choices difficult!

I specced out a 330D and it ended up being 70k USD...with few options. That's M3 pricing...whoa.

I'm skipping pre-LCI, and waiting for a LCI F30/1...idk, I don't want to buy a car that's 2 years off from a refresh.

The E90 was around from 2006-2008, and LCI 2009-2011 (probably because the E90 pre LCI was ugly and ridiculed).

F30 LCI is rumored not until 2016, and non LCI will be 2012-2015. After the LCI, we will probably see the new chassis in the 2018 or 2019 (at the latest) model year, so by the time the LCI comes out the new chassis will be "right around the corner" (with your mentality).

I think you'd rather miss out on the LCI than the new chassis?
