Exclamation Do You Ever Think This Color Combination Would Match?!

Good day,

I think I am stock here!

The thing is, on M5 F10, although I do like several colors such as Singapore Grey (SG), Imperial Blue (IB), and Moonstone... I do not see myself buying any color other than Monte Carlo Blue (MCB)...

And as much I like and most of the interior colors on the car, I do prefer the Sakhir Orange (SO) interior as a combination with the MCB exterior. I mean it is really a great combination..

Having said that, I am so much in love with the newly offered BMW Individual Interior; Amaro Brown (AB).

Although I believe that one of the best matches for MCB would SO...
I thought of getting your advise if it would be matching to consider MCB from the outside and AB from the inside... I personally am very concerned it would not match easily... Check the attached PDF to see how looks according to BMW configuration Website...

What do you think?

I think Amaro Brown is definitely a better match for Monte Carlo Blue. The SO is very clashy I think.

Not sure about the peanut butter brown which is conservative on a not so conservative color car. Sorry the orange looks best or silverstone, or black. That color belongs in a Stuffy Bentley. My two cents. Hot car needs hot interior not peanut butter brown.

agree with silverstone but if you want a dark color, consider cohiba. that's a styling brown.

I would strongly consider checking out Nutmeg (a new offering for MY14). I don't believe Cohiba is still offered (as a standard menu item).

I was still able to order Cohiba with no difficulty on my '14. Best color IMO.

Good to know. I would have given it a serious look had I known. It's not listed as a standard checkbox item in the US. It would have been my pick for MY13, no question. I'm excited to see what Nutmeg looks like in person. I paired it with Sapphire Black. Should be another 3-4 weeks.

Best look I have seen on MCB so far is black.

Cool. I think SSII looks very classy with MCB. I was close to ordering that combination myself.

I ordered LSB with AB. I think it will be stunning. MCB/AB will also be fantastic.

I paired Nutmeg with Moonstone. Haven't seen a single real world photo of Nutmeg, been searching and Googling for hours. Can't wait to see it finally... My car is on a ship.
