M5 wrap

Hello

I have my M5 booked in for a wrap in February.

I am unsure whether to go matt orange or matt grey.

My interior is red leather. I feel orange would be the bigger change and much more unusual but not sure how the interior would go.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Mat

Go with grey. I think the orange will clash with your interior.

I have owned a frozen grey e92 for 4 years and its a great colour which shows off all the lines

I have seen Orange on Orange in person. Not as beautiful as any dark color (or even white) on Orange

Another vote for grey over orange.

If your not limited to one grey, I reckon a matt version of grigio telesto may work well with full SO.

Yeah grey is the fav at the moment. After matt grey.

I do love the orange here though...



I just really am unsure what red interior would do with it.

Orange. Although it will look like crap with your interior it's a much more exciting exterior choice than matt grey. Plus, matt grey is played out.

Thanks.

I have aeen these... but the outside is not really orange in my book. Am interested to see matt orange with red interior. I am going to try photoshop something.

Still not convinced but I would like to see it mocked up.

Thanks

I say gray, considering your interior.

If you want to go orange, i'd love to swap my black interior for your red. If dealers are willing to swap it over. I wanted red interior but bought the one off the lot they had with black.

Better than expected, or much worse?

Going to do a few more colours including the grey.

Nonsense. That's like saying a navy blue pinstripe suit is played out. Some things are just timeless classics and the Frozen Grey BMW is one of those.

Don't like it. I think you should try the Grey. If you want something more unusual, a darker matte gray like frozen Singapore Grey, frozen silver, or something like that. Frozen Silver would look amazing with the red leather interior.
