Would you select a different color combination if you had to do it all over again?

Westside Guy · 07-22-2022, 03:43 PM

I absolutely love my Misano Blue/ Ivory combination but recently while at my dealer I saw a Frozen Grey/ Magna Red Z4 in person and it was absolutely beautiful. If I had seen this combination at the time I selected my Misano Blue/ Ivory combination it would have been a very hard decision to make.

Has anyone else felt the same about possibly selecting another color combination?

ebirotedu · 07-22-2022, 04:41 PM

No, I'm happy with my color combo (FG, Shadowline, Magma Red).

I'd have been happy with any of a number of other color combos as well too though.

Only color combos I would change are unavailable with the options I wanted or not available in my country.

CJ421 · 07-22-2022, 05:53 PM

Nope, I am satisfied with my choice (Frozen Grey/Black).
The car looks unique - the matte paint isn't something you see everyday.

Such as?

Horseman · 07-22-2022, 06:46 PM

Frosted orange in black or white interior

Other option would be that dark blue and congnac interior. Couldn’t get the blue with M Sports package.

Westside Guy · 07-22-2022, 06:48 PM

I saw pictures of the frosted orange that was offered the first year but they never shipped to the US. It is an unbelievable color!

I think we once discussed the Mediterranean blue/ cognac color combination and we both agreed it was a classic look. I really don't understand why they would offer it on the base model and not the M40i.

Doesn’t make any sense why any color combo wouldn’t be available if you’re building it custom. Same thing with Mineral White. Mid mich Esther have a more metallic white than flat white.

TAZ007 · 07-22-2022, 09:41 PM

They didn't offer mineral grey metallic so went with frozen grey metallic with black/alcantara interior. Never looked back

interesting note, had someone recently ask if paint was a wrap and I proudly said no. It is an amazing color.

Speaking of wraps, does anyone know if you put Xpel Stealth PPF on frozen grey does it change the appearance of the color?

I did see a sample on my Z4 and it did change it negatively for me

Kwajtrader · 07-23-2022, 10:09 AM

Nope. I’m still happy with BSM, Shadowline, Cognac and red calipers.

Yours is very distinctive - looks great, and no risk of running into one that looks just like it!

If they offered carbon black I would have chosen it. But love what I have.

Westside Guy · 07-28-2022, 06:09 PM

If I really wanted to dream about a color for my Z4 it would be my all-time favorite, Yas Marina Blue!

I occasionally see one driving around my neighborhood in this color and I am really jealous.

Thanks, but I switched colors 3 times before i found what i wanted

If i had to do it all over again it would probably be straight to this one.

jdhiro · 07-29-2022, 01:54 AM

If there are no new colors I like introduced in 2023, I'm going for AW/Shadowline/Alcantara!

TBH I think I'd like to see the car in Brooklyn Grey, or... Interlagos Blue... (*cough*withanMbadge*cough*).
