I would order the old crimson red non-metallic. I LOVE that color.
I was going to get it on my 135i, but I really wanted the coral red seats, and that wouldn't work with crimson red.
Then, BMW pulled the crimson red when Melbourne became available.
I'm disappointed with that. I've had a darker metallic red and it's too hard to keep clean. As soon as I washed, only a couple of days and already it dulls with dust settling on it.
A bright non metallic crimson holds it clean shine for a much longer time.
Melbourne looks good in picts, but it's a shade too dark and it'll be a bitch to keep clean. I have space gray on my 135i and it's very nice.
I don't want to get another gray though, and this "mineral gray" is darker than my space gray.
I'm actually considering silver with coral red interior.
Estoril blue is nice, but I don't think I could handle it after a couple months of seeing it every day.
A crimson red Msport would be AWESOME.
I really hope BMW brings that red back for 2013.
Crimson with black with red accents, nice.
