I think gray leather would look nicest with estoril exterior. It be coolest temperature wise also, I have black and it gets damn hot during the summer.

I would go with Black or Grey. Two tone would only work with estoril leather, don't use LSB leather. :nono:

if EstorilBlue, keep the 2tone in EstorilBlue too! LeManBlue/LSB is just too great of a different!

p.s. hsmith >> tks! ;)

Cinnamin would be my choice on estoril. Flat black would be up there too though.

here we go guys, i finally found some m roadster pics of the estoril 2 tone interior. i was thinking instead of having the blue on the outside of the seats like in the pic, of having the blue as the center portion of the seats. I like the door panels tho... thoughts?

hey stan, nice car.
i saw your car in person twice, and Estoril really looks very very good

just wondering, why didn't you get the 2-tone Estoril blue interior in the beginning when you were ordering the car?

BTW, is it what you have in mind?

hi tifosi,
thanks very much! actually, i didn't spec'd out the car.. it was already spec'd out by the dealer when I put the deposit on it.. my dealer said that bmw individual cars can't be changed once ordered (regardless of status).

yeah, i'm am going to do something similar to that... hopefully the leather would come in soon but god knows when will it arrive!

12:03
12-08-2003, 02:58 AM
isnt that 'ink' blue?

tifosi
12-08-2003, 03:46 AM
i think that's Estoril blue
actually, i don't think BMW Individual offer Ink blue interior anymore.

i am not 100% sure on this though....

tifosi,
that is exactly what i have been looking for!!! thank you for posting!!! You seem to be THE MAN when it comes to interior shots!!! i can only wonder what else you have in your fantastic collection of pics!

edit - only thing to see is if my dealer will allow me to put in a two tone order!!!

tifosi
12-08-2003, 01:25 PM
glad to know those pictures i posted helped you...

you probably want to ask stanmo to post some pictures of his interior once 2-tone interior project is completed....um....his car's gonna look awsome!

i can't say i've thought of that color combo.... pics or p-shop?

update on my car, the estoril paint has been approved, but as for the interior initially i've been told no-can-do, but i believe in being persistent:devillook

check here (http://m3.madrussian.net/modelinfo.shtml) to see why i'm being persistent (at the bottom about individual interiors!)

advice?

very nice!! just like the M Roadster!! love that 2 tone combo!! if I have a chance to redo mine again, I'll most likely get that!! ;)

btw, when you get yours, I would like to meet you and check it out!! ;)

IMHO, Cinnamon goes better with green. If I'd order Estoril Blue ext., my int. would be Grey Leather.

yes from factory. just bicthed at the dealer and said no LSB interior no deal. he got me this AFTER he said no sorry we dont offer. :)

01-25-2004, 01:27 PM
wow. do you mind if I ask how much extra that cost you?

few hundred...

dhruvp
01-25-2004, 03:40 PM
BB8SS5, is that it? you just argued until u got it? what kind of paperwork did the dealer have to do? i heard a custom interior like that will cost around 3700... please, i need more info because that's what i'm trying to accomplish

BB8SS5
01-25-2004, 04:15 PM
3700? wow what a rip off...you just have to be persistant, the dealer has to feed his family doesnt he? keep insisting on custom interior or no deal, its all about acting as if. act as if u got a 10 inch cock. just act as if man, and its 3700, its 2 g's at most.

Gary, did you order your cars from VOB?

I'm heading over there tomorrow to see if they can clear up this whole 2-tone interior thing...

Are you going to order Estoril Blue as part of BMW Individual? I thought they'd replaced it with Mystique Blue for MY2004. My memory could be broken, though.

dave is cool
01-31-2004, 06:59 AM
Just go with a black interior. I think it looks the best.

Is it "blue suede," as in "blue leather" in place of the titan/aluminum shadow interior? How did you get that ordered?
