what do you guys think about space gray with chestnut brown inter, alum trim? i have gotten mixed reviews....

skimmilk20 · 02-24-2009, 09:21 AM

Honestly, it doesn't matter what we think... don't listen to those haters out there who wanna bag on your car.. SG and CB is really nice. Aluminum is nice too... I would personally go for maybe dark burl with that color interior but aluminum looks nice too.

Do you have any pics?

Raja Ventureshield · 02-24-2009, 09:35 AM

i think it would look good.

stay away from alumium trim unless you have a black interior.

Your steering wheel is on the wrong side. That BMW is defective. May I suggest you go the lemon route.

Ditto!

And for the OP, do what you want, if you like Chestnut Brown + Space Gray DO IT!, i think it would look nice, I'm a fan of the CB interior, it's different, and i think it'll look cool with Space gray!

I think you should make up your own damn mind about what you like and don't like.

Leaves your right hand free to do other things in your wanker cockpit.

this was the combo i was considering when i was going to order an e90.

i was originally thinking dark burl with the chestnut which i think would look good.
but since the car has interior bits with aluminum finish...door handles, switch trim, etc. i now think your interior combo would look great.

BTW, it really shouldn't matter too much how the interior matches with the exterior (and grey is pretty much neutral anyway)...when you're sitting inside you don't see the exterior of the car anyway. And if you tint, you won't really see the interior from outside either.

IOW, if you like space grey exterior and chestnut interior---go for it and enjoy!

JBiddy · 02-24-2009, 02:22 PM

i think that aluminum trim looks awesome on any interior just my .02, bro just go on the bmw website and see it for yourself... build the car and see what colors u like most

I drove a stick over in New Zealand for a few weeks a number of years ago. Shifting with your left hand isn't as strange as it may seem. Thankfully, the pedals are the same, otherwise, it would have gotten ugly.

The REALLY weird thing is that (at least in the car I was driving) the blinker and windshield wiper stalks are reversed. So every time I wanted to signal, I'd end up turning on the wipers. That got really old really fast.

Space gray with chestnut will look great. I have e92 space gray with saddle brown and love it. I would consider a darker color for the trim like gray polar or dark wood. Anway...very good choice of colors...just go by what you like, not by what other might look...you'll be the one driving the car

LI E90 · 02-24-2009, 04:19 PM

SG and chestnut is beauty.. do it

AKE084 · 02-24-2009, 04:35 PM

thanks for all the suggestions...I already ordered the colors three days ago, but the sales guy at the dealership was like....that wont look good...."im thinking does this guy want to sell me a car or not?" But he made me rethink my choice...but now I have tons of people that say it would be hot...so f* u sales guy.... LCI E90,SG,CB,Alu

In that case, I suggest going with the easier-to-clean leatherette interior. Also, might want to invest in all season mats.

Space gray + chestnut = sex

I'm not a big fan of aluminum trim, but I think it looks fine. For myself, I'd prefer the black or dark gray wood trim, or piano black if that were available here.

He's already ordered, let it go. The last thing I want to see is another thread started . . . ."I'm ordering the beige leatherette - what do you guys think? I'm getting the battleship gray or elephant gray coupe with aluminum trim. I want the best combo to pick up chicks."
