I was particularly fond on steel blue on the E46 as well

You know what, I bet an F30 M Sport could pull off Atacama Yellow quite well!

Nobel Spinel Mica, a Lexus color. The best "red" ever. Yeah, I know, it's not a BMW color, but what the hell, some guy painted his M3 that color, so we can hope, right?

None of them. IMO they are pretty rubbish. EBII rules.

I realize I might be in the minority here.. but wood interiors on something other than a 7-series just look awkward. Our cars are a sea of plastics, rubber and LCD screens. Some fake-looking wood grain is a screaming anachronism. A nice wood dash on a '36 Jaguar? Sure.

I HATE WOOD INTERIORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's such an old man trim option. If you're after luxury sport you have to go with Alum, Piano Black, or Carbon Fiber I'm also a fan of Graphite Gray in the 08 M3 (i believe).

Forest Green
I would also like to see "Forest Green" as an optional color on the F30 in addition to those other colors. I had it on my 2001 E46 330ci coupe. I got many compliments regarding that color over the years that I owned my E46. IMHO, that shade of green really looks great on a 3 series BMW.

I couldn't find a current Dark Green so I just went with their current offering for the poll. But I agree a British Racing Green like Jaguar's would look great on the F30.

Well, I did have a tan interior with a wood dashboard once upon a time. The year was 1973 and the car was a brand new TR6. And it worked because the TR6 was an obsolete british sports car from the get go. The engine pulled nicely though and the exhaust note was great! I haven't had a car that sounded that good until I got the 335. I agree that wood in a modern German manufacturer's car does not work. The aluminum hex trim is what I opted for in mine along with the basic black and it works well. Nothing distracts from the driving experience. BRG with tan leather and a wood dash belongs on a Jaguar - that is Jag's heritage. |

Should have included a choice for a darker red/maroon color. I'm not a fan of really bright red cars, but a very dark ruby could be interesting.
