Le Mans Blue with Platinum Extended Interior

Just wondering how common the color combo mentioned within the thread title is?

I would imagine not very common at all.

i have the beige novillo extended leather with mine and really like the contrast.

Le Mans Blue is the rarest color, not counting individual custom order colors. I think only about ~500 of them were brought to North America, there's a thread around here somewhere that breaks the numbers down nicely. I would imagine Platinum leather is the rarest interior color based solely on how relatively infrequently I see them, not sure what the actual numbers are on that. On top of that extended leather is a fairly rare option. So basically finding a Le Mans Blue M3 with Platinum extended leather would be like finding a unicorn, especially if you have other must-have specs like a 6spd or carbon roof. I don't think I've ever seen one. Good luck!

Snow day here in the Carolinas. Bored as heck. Waiting with baited breath for them pictures. That is one awesome (and rare) color combo.

thanks man!

Agreed, I've owned too many cars with black interiors, so tasteful alternatives nearly always look great to me. My LeMans Blue has the Bamboo Beige interior, which I was looking for when I bought it partly because of the heat factor with black (and partly because it doesn't show as much lint, etc. as a black interior does). For whatever reason, beige and tan are popular on Italian sports cars much more so than on the German sports cars.

Beautiful!!!!! Extended leather was the way to go with that color combo; classy.

Was Platinum ever offered as an regular option? I thought it was just Bamboo Beige and Platinum required going through Individual.

I was thinking he meant Palladium Silver!

Me too, but then somebody above posted what does in fact appear to be Platinum. Hard to believe those first and second pics are of the same interior too....

I think this is what OP wants. This is the only car that's listed in the individual thread so I'm not sure if a Le Mans/Platinum combo even exists. It's probably the most beautiful individual interior offered for the e9x. I would never be able to drive it though.

Yeah that's most likely what he's thinking of. It is beautiful, it's almost white.

Here is my IB on Beige. I like the contrast:

Glad to hear it's a rare color combo. Would love to find out actual numbers.

Here is a bad pic of my e93 m3 with extended platinum. Will have to take some better pics once it is back on the road.

Yeah, I loved the white interiors on the Z4 and M6 but also knew that it would probably be an even worse upkeep nightmare than a black exterior. At least that you can easily clean. If you stain white leather with blue jeans....

+1

I agree, it looks amazing when it is new. I think it will be hard to keep clean like darker colors when mileage goes up
