id go with a light shade interior. Beige is a good color for that color of a car.

I think Oyster or Grey will go well with Blue Water.

I ordered blue water w/ oyster. Saw the combo in person the otherday and it was perfect. don't get anything but oyster

Personally I like light against dark, I don't like a light color exterior and a light color interior. I like to see a contrast. So if I was going to pick BW than I would get black dakota leather.

Dave4501 · 11-19-2008, 08:50 PM

My first choice would be Oyster. My second choice would be Black. You could also go with the black leatherette, save some money and hardly anyone would know the difference. Beige would come in third and not be nearly as impressive as the first two choices.

Chestnut could be a possibility but I've yet to see photos of it. I know most on this board would say no to the Chestnut.

I think grey would look pretty bad since the car is already close to gray. I've got gray in my Silver 330 and only like it marginally.

Definitely not a light color. Light on light = bland.

For instance, TiAg with beige or grey is horrible looking. It's the epitome of blandness.

I'd go with black or some other dark-colored choice. Oyster isn't that bad only because there's black inserts. The white is at least light enough so that it's not too bland.

I have to agree with this combo. The two tone effect with the lighter BW will be perfect. If it were solid oyster, without the black, it would be a different story all together.
I have the oyster with AW and love it. I had Arctic with the beige and it was a bit too light with the carpets and all being so light. Oyster is the ticket!!!!

Bluewater335i · 11-19-2008, 09:54 PM

I went with black leatherette and aluminum trim with my interior. I should get my car in about 3 weeks... I'll post pics then.

BMWMC · 11-19-2008, 10:57 PM

Saw a 335i Sedan at the plant with Saddle Brown, and it looked great.

Go with Saddle Brown, very nice combo

Deda · 11-20-2008, 03:24 AM

i will go for contrast,so saddle brown or chestnut.

rickston69 · 11-20-2008, 12:23 PM

for contrast i'd go with saddle brown or black but if you go light then i'd go with beige. imo the oyster gray only looks good with a dark exterior color.

Blue water? I'd go with oyster (E90,91) or Jade Grey (E92,93) and contrast that with the trim. Black is a sportier choice too.

Mk23 · 11-21-2008, 11:37 AM

Beige or Black leather with Aluminum or Dark burl. Both will look great. I personally would prefer black with aluminum.

Blue Water Metallic W/ What Interior???

Easy. The interior color you like the best with blue water.

Bavaria330 · 01-03-2009, 07:52 PM

I just saw a BW with Beige (my fav int) and it look terrible, the beige looks yellow in contrast to the BW

I'm glad I saw one I, almost erder this combo.

cn555ic · 01-03-2009, 07:57 PM

I think the OP is a bit confused as to choosing between Blue water and Montego Blue at the moment!!!

cgpublic · 01-03-2009, 08:30 PM

...beige!

I'm not sure if living in Buffalo is a consideration with all of the snow/winter, but if it was me I'd stay away from something too light and select either Saddle and Burl for luxury or Black and Aluminum for Sport.

Pimp Star · 01-03-2009, 10:41 PM

Get Oyster Leather and get aftermarket Piano Black Trim, that would look amazing.

Or the opposite, Black Leather with Aluminum Trim.

1. oyster
2. black
