Need Help!!!

I have to Decide by Monday, I;m getting a MY2010 E90 AW. I cant decide between the Bamboo beige or the red fox. Everyone tells me to get the red fox because it stands out and not many cars have it, but I reall love the way the beige looks. I had an 08 335i with the beige and loved it, but i like the beige in the M3 more because its mixed in with black and the 335i didnt have that. Then there is the issue about the red fading a lot faster than any other color if not careful. I never had red in any car and I never seen the fox red in person and I wont be able to until I get back from Iraq in October. Please Help!!

Fox red 100%.

Bamboo goes with dark cars like jerez black.

Trust me, this is the way to go. :-)

Sounds like to me that you have already made your decision. You say you love beige and others are telling you to get fox red. Go with what you like.

Bamboo Beige FTW!

Everyone went with Fox Red and Alpine White. But, I would have to agree, the beige with the white might look a little to sedate. Sometimes I think the FR is a little too "in your face". JMHO.

Yes I agree

White + Bamboo is a nice combo. Understated maybe, but there's nothing wrong with that.

Seems like you've answered your own question in there. Something I've discovered lately: The "everyone" opinion is overrated, stick with what you truly want, you'll be happier with yourself that way.

Follow your taste + check this: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56911 + try to see them in person = You can not go wrong!

Thanks for the advice guys, I'm going to go with the beige

Good call. I've had 2 red interiors, and even with my anal maintenance, they don't hold nearly as well as other colors. Plus 2 more things: the 'extended' option is way too much IMO, and the red color on the M3 is the least attractive I've seen (IMO as well). Finally, I had a hell of a time selling those 2 cars because of the red interior; it's definitely NOT universally liked. Black is a safer bet on the M3 IMO, but beige is better than red. My 'lighter' color choice was gray, but black was my second choice, so I was fine with that. Enjoy your new car buddy.

Sadly no, my car is not delivered yet. It's supposed to arrive on Tuesday. I'll see if I can take a few pics before I take delivery.

Despite my LOVE for fox red, you did the right thing by going with your gut/what you really wanted. You'll love it!

let me tell you something you just told me : you want beige and are going to get it. It is a Good choice screw naysayers !

Sorry man, but how ppl on the forum can decide that for you ? You are going to be the one driving it everyday and you should get whatever you like better ...

They didn't decide for me, I really like the beige better. I think I will be very happy with it

Red all day. I have seen this combo and it looks great.

Fox Red, and I say this as the owner of a JZB/BB E90. It's all about the color combo. With AW I'd go FR with brushed aluminum trim. It'll look great. JMHO.
