Or that. Having a hard time choosing one. Never seen SO and SinGrey in life((

SG and SO leather is the way to go

steveM5-UK · 06-08-2015, 11:23 AM

SO full leather defo, and in the outside, hmmmmm well that depends.

Depends if you want to turn heads, have other drivers drooling, stand out in a crowd? If so then SO Metalic on the metal. It's a killer combination.

But I'm biased lol

I know you had Sin Grey color M5. Can you please write more about it. On pictures it seems that Sin grey can not shine well as other colors. Is Sin grey is hameleon like color? Changes shades?

Your pics have steering on the left side. I see you are in Central Asia. Which country is that? From my experience all Asian countries have steering on the right side of the car. Are you using BMWNA configurator???

Go with singapore grey. I almost went with the Sahkir Orange interior but then decided against it as I didnt think I would like it after a yr or so.

MCarsFan · 06-09-2015, 11:23 AM

Sahkir Orange !!

All Asian countries?

China is LHD, Korea is LHD. They're pretty big Asian countries.

I stand corrected. Never been to China. And I remember Korea is LHD. India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia are all RHD. Probably a result of British rule. Those who escaped it get to drive on the correct side of the road...

There is a difference between asian and central asian countries. Central Asian countries are mostly Soviet union countries before.

Bönz · 06-10-2015, 06:05 AM

Darn Brits.

When I lived in the UK, it took no time to adjust. I felt perfectly normal with RHD on the left side of the road. The weirdness comes in when the car and road don't match - certainly makes passing a pain.

HappyMan · 06-14-2015, 02:47 AM

Thanks for all the help. Car will go into production in July. Singapore grey it is. Interior still not decided.

If you're going Singapore Grey then it has to be the Sakhir Orange interior.

Not that I'm biased or anything...

For interior, are you going individual or standard? Either way, I recommend FULL leather. It makes a huge difference. Without it the IP has a cheap looking grain and interior is less cohesive.

Problem is the only std color I like is black. Silverstone is boring and cheap looking and SO is too red for interior (great on exterior), although it certainly stands out. All IMO of course. I went black with ind wood (red sycamore) to add some color and make it pop.

To go ind full leather costs $9.5k in the US. I'm sure it's pricy in UK also. Just my 2 cents.

Agree with FULL leather.
SO interior is too red for light exterior colors or SO exterior (I have seen SO/SO in person) but with exterior in SG, I believe SO looks stunning; however for me the only interior color that works is Black, since most of the time I am wearing jeans
