I saw Leland but for some idiot reason was thinking Newland, which is in the mts. No wonder, you are in the low country, and I was thinking Blue Ridge Parkway, hah. Still like your ride. Cheers

Red interior's really look sharp against dark exteriors, for those of us not bold enough to choose an aggressive exterior color, Coral Red is the answer for the most aggressive interior choice.

Quite surprised at this. Here in the Eastside of Seattle I'm seeing a couple every day now...and they look great!

I first saw MG on an M4 with black wheels. Killer combo. Maybe the best of all of the non-individual M4 colors.

Few Quick pix of my F32 sportline MG/Coral:

Wow very nice! Did you plasti-dip your OEM 442's? If so could you take a closer photo of it or a side shot of your car in better lighting so I can see how they look.

Thanks! They were powercoated gloss black.

I've only had my 435ix CG M-Sport in Mineral Grey for a couple of weeks, but I am amazed at the number of very positive comments I hear (and overhear) about the car and especially about the color. Mostly from women..

Here's some pics (admittedly the car needs a washing.. hard to keep clean here in northern New Mexico).

Excellent pics!

Tried to capture some of the effects at dusk light conditions, lots of red hues coming off surfaces.

I think white cars are back in fashion now.

Very nice...this is the money shot. Always kinda liked the sedan profile better, but this makes me a tad jealous.

I heartily agree with all the good things being said about Mineral Grey. My 435i is being painted that color at the factory in Munich as we speak, and I also went for the Coral Red leather. It's the same color combo as the car on the cover of the 4-series coupe brochure, so I'm guessing MG/red leather is the designer's favorite as well. Can't wait to see how it looks in real life - I'm picking it up at BMW Welt in 3 weeks...

Congrats! Fantastic choice.

What color did you go for as the accent trims in the interior? Wood? Aluminum?

I went for the Burl Walnut - there was a car at the dealer with that and the Coral leather and I thought it looked awesome.

I had Sparkling Graphite several years ago, which was darker than Mineral Grey, but SPACE GREY is still my all time fave. Wish they'd bring it back to the 3 series.

Your cars are so nice!!!! We all made a good choice with MG!
