color combination?

silverbmw325i · 10-20-2012, 08:05 AM

I'm currently looking at a car that is monaco blue which I like but it has Oyster Leather. Do you guys like this color combination? I've had black in the past but it does get hot in the summer.

Trust me when I tell you buy a car based on your preferences... Because your the one that has to drive it and look at it everyday!

Oyster seems prone to show when its dirty, but if you take good care of your leather it looks fantastic.

Agreed - it's about "your preferences".

We all have very different tastes. Recommend you go to a dealer with lots of cars and check out different color combinations. See which ones YOU like the best.

Blue and oyster probably go good together. I think the exterior color is a lot more important than the interior color, so if it's blue and has your preferred options, go for it. Interior colors will grow on you....unless it's saddle brown, I don't like dark brown interiors.

Is it the two tone oyster? My boss at my summer job has a 2011 space grey 535i with an oyster/black two tone. I think most of the interior is oyster, but the footwells and lower zones are black. He says it helps keep it clean.

The question is do you like the color combination? I was looking for the right color combination for a while. My advice is don't compromise.

You'll get so many different answers.

My personal favorite is black sapphire metallic and coral red so that's what I went for (see my avatar), and I'm damn happy I did!

I get so many compliments on this color combo besides the point.

My second choice would've been Le Mans or Montego blue with some kind of dark interior, IMO light colors are just a pain in the ass to keep clean inside.

For Monaco Blue, the best interior color is saddle brown and I like Coral Red on either of the whites

BMW_Belgier · 10-20-2012, 05:59 PM

I like my black sapphire metallic with my alcantara seats... I do find them a bit to blue-ish...

Can't imagine oyster inside... not my style...

I love oyster white interior, very classy

I think the oyster interior looks great, and with monaco blue even better. I hate the common color combos like black on black or white on beige. Be different!
