I just wish I could see the AW/Red combo in person. No such combination locally available to view.

It really is. It's service like this that will make me loyal to a particular brand.

So did you place the order yet??

I'm living vicariously now..:-)

I'd go with the AW and coral red...I have the same combo in the msport and it is absolutely stunning. The coral red is such a great contrast. You will not be disappointed...If you were in the New York area id be happy to show you the car.

AW + coral red

Great service by BMW team/dealer

EBII is nice but everyone has it... To steal a line from a song 'and having the same as six other people in this club is a hella don't'... Sorry to those who have it, to each their own but white with red would look more unique IMO.

my dealer had one as a loaner, it's nice. Not as much panache as eb2, more classy and elegant, but blacked out trim like grills, and maybe a black roof wrap and thats hot.

Today walking into work I saw one of those Airport Shuttle Vans that was painted Estoril Blue I swear.

EBII just looks like a toy/plastic colored car to me. I really wish I could like the color, as it's fun to have exclusive paint.

As soon as BMW offers something similar to Tanzanite on an M-sport in the US, it's gonna make me rush to trade in my current car :-)

One of my tail lights was replaced early on because the housing was defective (the tail light was literally hanging off the truck lid). I have rust on my seat frames. The list goes on.

Both my dealer and BMW have handled the situation brilliantly. I'm very, very satisfied with the service I've received. Both my local dealer and BMW, unbeknownst to me, worked together to order me a brand new car (optioned identically) within a week of my asking them to explore the buyback option. It will be delivered in March.

As much as I enjoyed my EBII w/ Black leather interior combination, I'm thinking of changing it up. I know that I am the one that has to make the ultimate determination regarding the exterior/interior color scheme, but I wanted to post a poll in order to get some feedback that will aid me in my decision regarding what I want the replacement to look like.

I'm obviously very familiar with what the EBII w/ Black leather interior combination looks like. However, I'm interested in hearing the thoughts of those who have an AW M-Sport with Coral Red interior. Pictures would be great as well.

In sum, should I get another EBII w/ Black leather interior or change it up and opt for an AW w/ Coral Red interior?

Thanks in advance.

Man, I'm sorry to hear about the troubles, but glad to hear that it's being resolved without too much headache. My wife/ex-wife (separated..never know how to refer to her??) had an ongoing issue with her first 1 series and I was SUPER impressed with the way the dealership and BMW NA handled the process of getting her a replacement car...they even replaced her aftermarket tint for free before delivery, from the same original tint shop.

Anyway, I LOVE my AW and coral red combo...I regularly get compliments on the red interior. I wear jeans every day, so the driver's seat picks up some of the dye from the denim and requires cleaning more frequently than black leather, but I don't mind at all. The red is bold, but certainly not overpowering or obnoxious. Here a few pics for you from my ED trip, and outside my office...not the best pics, but the more pics you see, the better you can judge if you can't see it in person.

Damn I find myself agreeing with every post with SamS.

I honestly think BMW best color is Alpine White. I have never owned a White car and would probably only do so with luxury Coupe.
I think Black is very played out now unless you do it right with sweet wheels (HRE P40 or LMs).

I'm a big fan of BMW's Sparkling Graphite. Although it has some purple hue in it, its the best looking Gray most of the time.

I know this is not available without extra $$$. I would settle for Mineral Gray.

Good luck.

[dmontic71]

Change it up! I had the experience of buying a brand new car once, and totalling two weeks later. Went out and bought the same exact car/same color. Afterwards, I felt like I missed an opportunity to revisit my options...

I rue the day BMW took SGM off the regular, exterior color offerings list.

Thank you. And yes, I agree!

Haha thank you for the perspective. The only other F30 M-Sport I've seen in my area was . . . an EBII.

I sincerely appreciate all of your input.

I am also seriously thinking about Glacier Silver with Coral Red now. I really like the look of the silver on the F30 328i loaner I have.

at the shuttle van comment. My buddy said the exact same thing about EBII looking like a toy car color. I see where you guys are coming from but it's nice to have something unique when 99.9 percent of the cars you see on the road are white/black/silver.

I won't be switching from EBII (if I do) because I don't like the color. I think it's gorgeous on the M-Sport. I will only switch if I really feel as if another combination looks better.

Thanks for the kind words. Sorry to hear about your girl troubles man.

And thank you very much for the pics! Absolutely beautiful M-Sport you have there. I would love to do the European Delivery experience some day.

I'm starting to lean toward changing it up. As I stated previously, I'm also considering Glacier Silver w/ Coral Red.

[ybbiz34]

As an update, I decided to go with Glacier Silver and Coral Red with Aluminum Hexagon Trim/Black gloss highlight finishers.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to share thoughts, photos, etc.

Haha that is pretty funny. As much as I love white and thinks it looks great, I just need a little hint of color. And thanks I'm looking forward to it.

I saw a couple of pics on here of the Glacier Silver/Coral Red Combo and it just clicked for me. I really did like the EBII and I'm glad I got to experience it for a while but I really needed a change. Got the color change in just under the wire. I'll still get to rock the EBII until March (if my water pump and relay ever arrive from Germany).

Ive appreciated your posts on whats been happening with your car. It does suck that this is the end result (in regards to having to lemon it), but it is good to hear that they did do the right thing and are keeping you happy, and potentially giving you more than the original!

I feel like I might be on the same road unfortunately. What are they doing for you in the meantime (waiting for this new car while being stuck with a broken one)? Do you have any advice on how to initiate and execute what you did without having to do backflips through legalese?

Sure I'll send you a PM here sometime tonight.
