Your Top Color Combo

[gr330zhp]

Whats up guys

So post up why your top color combination is in a ZHP, if it's not what you have, what would you want?

My favorite is what I have, Imola Red with Alcantara interior. Only other combo I would want is Alpine White/Alcantara

How about you guys?? :)

[Hermes]

Are we limiting to available or theoretical combos?

[Meric]

Black exterior with red leather interior.

[SoarinZHP]

Imola/black leather.

What was available on the E46.

[Hermes]

Imola w/the ultra rare M3 alcantara seats (the opposite of the ZHP seats, alcantara was in the middle of the seat and not the bolsters)


...or CSL interior

[M3TA5IN]

Black on Brown interior is my favorite on the ZHP and the BSM on the Terra like my car :)

[gr330zhp]

Imola w/the ultra rare M3 alcantara seats (the opposite of the ZHP seats, alcantara was in the middle of the seat and not the bolsters)


...or CSL interior

Ohhhh smart man! I love those seats!

[Hochspannung]

Alpine White on the darker tan seats

[Hermes]

Black exterior with red leather interior.

Which red, Cinnamon or Imola? (I think Tannin was an option too)

[zj96sc]

orient or mystic on alcantara or tan and black leather interior.

I would've killed some puppies for a sparkling graphite on alcantara sedan, but no such luck.

[Crickett]

Anything over the Natural Brown leather :drool

Closely followed by Imolarot & Alcantara.

[GMATT]

White with Brown Leather.............. followed by white with Alcantara

[danewilson77]

AW OVER NB

HTC Thunderbolt+TT

[aurelius]

Which red, Cinnamon or Imola? (I think Tannin was an option too)

M3's Cinnamon is similar to Natural Brown. M3's Imola is similar to Tannin. At least in the US, NB replaced Tannin for MY 2002. Therefore you won't see Tannin leather in a ZHP.

I had an '01 330 ZSP in AW on Tannin. Worked well because as with NB, it's essentially a 2-tone interior with the black dash, center console, & carpets. Plus the actual 2-tone door panels.

[Meric]

Which red, Cinnamon or Imola? (I think Tannin was an option too)

Cinnamon looks much better.

[GSEN820]

ZHP would have to be Silver Grey Metalic with Alcantara

M3 would be Carbon Black with Cinamon or Interlagos Blue with Cinamon (cant really decide)

[Meric]

Oh 1 more

Estoril Blue :drool - Natural Brown.

[spencers]

Silver Grey Metallic, Natural Brown

[elric]

Imola with Alcantara .... especially after 6 hand rubbed coats of Zaino Z-2 Pro polish.

YESS!!

[Hermes]

I guess I would also say Midnight Blue 2 Metallic on Cinnamon. I've almost seen it once, but this had the black nappa seats:

[nike001]

Ah man. IMO, Imola on Alcantara is the epitome of ZHP.

I honestly like every color with alcantara interior. My favorites are orient blue, imola, AW, and black sapphire. I'd only take Black Leather, Alcantara, or Natural Brown leather. Not really a fan of the tan or grey.

On an M3, my ideal car is AW on Cinnamon. God damn I can go on and on with my favorites. I guess it would just depend on the overall condition of the car in question.

I'm wit dis guy... Natural brown is king :rockon

I will say that Imola on Natural brown I almost bought from Idaho was BEAUTIFUL, Alpine white on it would be so clean but I don't think anything can top TiAg with it... just the cleanest, classiest combo out there. Sporty but refined, classic yet contemporary.

all in all its just :wub

[Hermes]

Seriously... To all the Alcantara fans, how come only two of us lust over the M-Texture? I'm guessing because you don't know what it looks like. Well...

Because I like rare things, my top color combo would be:

Oxford Green on Natural Brown. That's right, Meric; you have the ONLY E46 with this color combo that I've seen in a picture. I have never seen this in person. In fact, I've never seen Oxford Green on an E46 ever, in person.

Next up would be Imola on Natural Brown. This is the most striking color combo, IMO, not for contrast, but for "freshness" and "sexyness".

Then, Mystic Blue on Natural Brown. Catching a pattern here? This and Oxford on Natural Brown are the two classiest color combos, IMO.




JP,
I have considered redoing my interior and that fabric was one option, but decided against it for contrast reasons. Still too much dark in that interior, though if I wanted a dark interior, I would definitely get M-Texture fabric in that exact configuration (centers cloth, leather bolsters)!

HTC Thunderbolt+TT

[zj96sc]

Yeah would've said M fabric or M texture if it were a ZHP option. Saw a couple E36Ms and E46Ms with it, ultra sexy stuff.

I looked for a green zhp for a whole year and never saw a single one. Meric is a lucky man.

[BRGcoopahS]

Top 3

Imola red with natural brown interior, with the alcantara accents

Mystic blue with the light grey leather (almost white) and alcantara accents

Silver grey with all alcantera interior.

and probably all of them with the black cube trim.

My buddies dad had Oxford over Natural with his E39, it was beautiful. Plus it was rolling on style 5's

[Nomar06]

I'm loving the Orient on Alcantara but I would kill(not really) for AP on M-Texture or Alcantara.

[HokieZHP]

My car is my ideal color combo. Black exterior with tan leather interior :rockon :thumbup

[2kBMW3Series]

Either:
Alpine White with Cinnamon Red seats
or
One of the blues with Alcantara seats

Imola Red with Alcantara is really nice as well.

[Hermes]

Haha... no it wasn't. I thought it was just what was available on E46's in general. I'm sure you could have had BMW Individual build a ZHP with that interior, but for how much

[llll1l1ll]

I wanted Imola Red with the alcantara or black leather, but I'm happy with Black Sapphire on alcantara.

BP,

You have to remember I'm driving Imola/black leather/black cube... anything would lighten up my interior. Part of the reason why I bought the billet pedals and performance shifter/handbrake

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c288/jhermes/e2257ea4.jpg

I guess I should add that M3 GTR Titan Shadow Cube Effect Trim is very high on my list. I'm honestly trying to figure out the part numbers, but no luck yet.

Yes it actually matches i like the colour difference between exterior and interior. I can get a picture of it if you want me to.

[ryankokesh]

I've never seen a zhp I didn't like love :)

Although AW over an imola interior would be hott. I'm also pretty excited to see what my imola looks like after some paint correction and a good waxing...

[Rock Nova]

ZHP = Imola/Natural Brown
M3 = Steel Grey/Cinnamon or Silver Grey/Cinnamon

[gammagoblin]

Orient blue + natural brown
But I'd rather have alcantara over leather, so there is a tradeoff there.
Black cube

Gotta admit my silver grey w/ alcantara, black cube, (and black kidneys, debadged, clear corners, tinted) looks pretty damn good though :p

[RVAzhp]

black with brown leather...one day...

[328ioc]

This is my fav. AW on Imola. :drool

It's just the shmex isn't it?

[bullfrogs_M3]

I jumped on www.bmwtechinfo.com and looked up my car. Interesting thing about the Natural Brown interior color. It is actually coded by BMW as:

N6NG Leather Montana/basic equip/mahagoni

It also showed my car as having the "smoker package"?!?!?!?! weird.

Anyway, original question...favorite color combo. Would have to be what I have, Jet Black w/ Natural Brown Interior or Alpine White w/ Cinnamon Interior

[ryankokesh]

I think almost every car has the smoke package... Is it just the lighter?


Doh!

Jet Black on tan moves my needle, but for a Vert, black interior hides the dirt better so that's what I drive.

[webster]

Top choices for me would be:

- Alpine white over nat brown w/ black cube
- imola over alcantara w/ silver cube
- silbergrau over alcantara w/ silver cube

Last one is almost my interior (I have black cube :/)

[Meric]

@ryankokesh My friend has a non-smoker package which is so useless.

You have excellent taste, good sir! Oxford Green over Natural Brown does really look stunning, though I too have never seen it in person. Yes Meric, awesome color on the zhp in stealth mode!

That said, Carbon Black (which is a very, very dark navy metallic) over Cinnamon (found on the E46 M3) is awesome, and would be even more awesome if available on a zhp.

Alpinewhite over NB would be cool too, as the AW zhps seem few and far between, and it looks saweet in AW!

All that being said, I still like the IR over NB in the garage too.

I agree, clears look strange on a green car... The orange looks good though. It's the only color I would leave the orange lights on...
