After lots of consideration, I have decided to go with the 2011 335i x-drive coupe for my next car. For options going with:

Cold Weather Package$600
M Sport Package$3,000
Premium Package$2,650
STEPTRONIC automatic transmission$1,375
Navigation system$2,100
Harman Kardon surround sound system$875

I am also going to be utilizing the 'EuroDelivery method' which the salesperson completley talked me into, but also from researching the option it seems like a great experience and deal (you save quite a bit of $$$ even taking into account the travle costs, plus its buy one ticket get on free round trip).

Price for the eurodelivery with the model I selected is $41k (plus options of course, which the sales guy said would be invoice cost), it also includes:
European Delivery price includes:

•14 days of free, road insurance
•Tourist registration
•Factory preparation
•European inland transportation from the drop-off point to the nearest port
•Marine insurance
•Customs duty and clearance
•U.S. port processing and accessory installation
•Wharf and handling fees

Besides all the that I am having trouble deciding on a color scheme, since I am doing the M package, all colors are open to me (I think) including the Lemans Blue.

For exterior I am considering: Vermilion Red, Le Mans Blue, Space Gray, and maybe Black Sapphire.

Interior: Saddle Brown (really leaning toward this); or Black or maybe Gray Dakota.

Trim: I have no idea, actually considering Dark Glacier Aluminum instead of wood, as seen here with the saddle leather: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...brown+aluminum

opinions?

also here is the 'build your own link' to view the color combos: http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...T6ll5e7fhOQFs=

I also think white with saddle looks very nice, but I cant get over how feminine the white version looks (imo)

i can't stand white cars unless it's a range rover. red is borderline girly and also catches the cops' eyes. i'd do blue or black if i were you. FWIW i don't like BMW wood trim and the aluminum looks dope.

I like silver, black, or blue. I'm not a fan of white or red. You've selected a good set of options for the car.

I actually think the space gray with the M-package and saddle/aluminum would look nice... its a darker grey metallic. I think this is it:

Definitely brown interior. Black or Grey is just too stale boring. Brown feels more lush and warm.

Red interior is even nicer, with the lighter standard aluminum trim I think would be hot. Dark Glacier Aluminum would be nice.

^ I recently saw the red interior with black ext. and didnt really like it, the red kinda felt to flashy, almost looked cheap to me...

I agree though I think regardless of whatever color I go for outside (or trim) I am going to do the saddle brown.

are you allowed to do Individual colors? Malachit Grun and Calypso Rot are the **** dreams are made of, doggie. Get saddle brown and wood of some sort, aluminum and the 'cube' trim looks cheap. Light wood is comtemporary for our time. It's not a car intended to be a classic down to every detail and it's not an M3 on a weight program, so enjoy a mix of motor/mild lux.

I just sold my 335 on Wednesday, but it was black sapphire metallic with saddle brown leather and aluminum trim. I ordered these colors specifically and its still my favorite combo, although I dont know what options are available today as I ordered mine in '06.

I would go for the red exterior with the saddle brown and the aluminum trim.

Space gray metallic;
coral red/ black Dakota leather;
dark glacier aluminum (or dark burl).

Am I the only one that thinks the blue with brown interior looks a little funky with the aluminum trim? I think it would look much cleaner with a wood trim that would actually compliment the leather instead of stick out like a sore thumb.
