MSport

Alex@ONEighty · 07-27-2012, 08:04 AM

Call me crazy but I love the color combination. Sold my B8 S4 last week and ordered myself an MSport 6MT RWD in Estoril Blue w/ the Coral Red Interior. Car is pretty much fully loaded except rear heated seats, rear shades & the top view cameras. Can't wait to get my hands on it and let the modding begin.

Yeah...about that...

Don't forget to put a big red and yellow 'S" badge on your hood or else it won't be complete!

Alex@ONEighty · 07-27-2012, 09:14 AM

It's a love it or hate it color combination. Not something you see everyday but I have seen numerous BMW's with similar color combos and it looks great.

chrisny · 07-27-2012, 08:36 PM

I think I would actually like this on a dark blue, almost ordered it on an S5 I had (ended up with phantom black/red magma).. But estroil is too light for that to look good, to me... But good luck, can't wait to see how it comes out.

To be honest, I considered it. But my wife, the color coordinator for for everything from clothes, furniture, and paint, said not so fast. Then as I looked at it, Coral Red is pretty bright. Would've loved the saddle brown or a more softer red (orange) hue. So, we went with the black. On second thought, blue and orange are UVA's colors. Never mind!

I ordered the same a few months ago, its on the boat now! I still say you can't ague with the color choice. It's the classic BMW M division color combination. Just wait till it comes in. I'm sure I'm going to love it. Not sure about everyone else. Some naysayers will be jealous, others might vomit. We will see...

Can't wait to see it, I though I was the only one who put that color together guess your another brave one

When are you expecting it?

johnofcross · 07-28-2012, 10:11 AM

Ordered the same one couple of months back. Doing an ED late August and PCD after that. I personally think the color combo is classic and patriotic

Walt · 07-28-2012, 07:54 PM

It's on the dorado leader. It arrives august 16 in port. Not sure how long it will take after that. I'm very impatient right now! I ordered back on April 10th.

nano10 · 07-31-2012, 11:10 AM

i actually am contemplating putting down my deposit for same, an IT WILL be this color combo. the day after i put the deposit down i will be buying superman plate frame!!!

NateDog07V · 07-31-2012, 11:21 AM

That's a brave color choice but i think it'll end up pretty cool. Just curious, but why did you decide to move away from the S4 ?

I had my s4 for a little over 2 years, which I guess isn't that long but I really wanted something different and new. I also wanted a RWD car which I really missed after getting rid of my e39 M5.
S4 was an amazing car though, highly recommend it to anyone and will highly consider having another S Model Audi in my family.

cardnation · 07-31-2012, 02:17 PM

I dig, the blue/red contrast. Plus its different.

Alex@ONEighty · 08-03-2012, 11:36 AM

Now I'm having an issue with the dealer. I'm getting told I am unable to build the estoril blue on red interior. Whoever built that color combo, anyway you can show me your invoice. I think maybe the issue can be with the trim combination.

Walt · 08-03-2012, 11:38 PM

The dealer didn't have any trouble with mine (although he checked with me a few times to make sure it wasn't a mistake!). I had some trouble on the online configurator, which wasn't actually available when I ordered it, but I have gone to look at it a couple times! I have to select m sport / estoril blue / coral red / black dash accents / hexagon aluminum trim. If I select it in any different order it defaults to wierd sh*t like alpine white with red and mahogany. I have also bad trouble saving the config and when I open the saved config it doesn't get it right.

Walt · 08-03-2012, 11:39 PM

Yeah the problem was if I selected the trim last, that's when it changed everything around.

Alex@ONEighty · 08-04-2012, 12:58 PM

Hey Walt do you have a Invoice or some sort of document that says your car is being built with that color combo? I want to show my dealer to confirm with him it is possible.

schnell13 · 08-04-2012, 02:48 PM

Artem,

Congrats on owning what will most certainly be THE rarest color combination on the new 3 series. I thought about it as well after I saw a deep blue coupe with a red interior on base before leaving for deployment. I however went with a slightly more tame MG over coral red. Also, as was stated previously, classic M colors. I applaud your desire to be different, sir!

Walt · 08-04-2012, 03:46 PM

Artem,

I have a screen print from tracking my car on bmwusa. Do you have an email address?

Walt · 08-05-2012, 09:22 AM

Artem,

Email sent. It shows my production number too so they should be able to look it up. Good luck.
