Best color combo

Rosho808 · 03-07-2018, 11:44 PM

What do you think is the best color combo for the m6? With CCB's of course..

av.7447 · 03-08-2018, 01:40 AM

San Marino Blue on Sakihr Orange extended leather with grey poplar wood of course! 🤣

Isn’t it more of a personal taste though? 🤔

BMWDriverX · 03-08-2018, 02:51 AM

White on red.

mjposner · 03-08-2018, 06:48 AM

San Marino Blue over black (I have silverstone, looks good, but gets dirty easily.)

Flying Ace · 03-08-2018, 12:33 PM

personal preference questions is going to get you a ton of varying answers....lol

If I were to build my own car... Frozen Black on Amaro/Canyon Brown

ayhsmb81 · 03-08-2018, 04:41 PM

Exterior Color: Space Gray Metallic
Interior Color: Platinum
CCBs

Bobby_Drake · 03-09-2018, 08:12 AM

Sakhir on Amaro.

Rosho808 · 03-09-2018, 11:30 AM

Yeah sorry for the vague question, I was really just trying to see if anyone would say sakhir ext, with black. There was one at auction with fully loaded with CCB's, 20K miles for under 50K, but not sure if I'd want that color everyday. I know I could wrap it, but if I'm gonna spend another 3-5k on that I should just wait for color I really want.

Flying Ace · 03-09-2018, 12:39 PM

Sakhir looks amazing in person. Check out a Sakhir F80 at a dealership if you have a chance. It's probably my 3rd favorite non-individual M car color today after Moonstone and Silverstone.

Is this a coupe?

DRKNTM6 · 03-09-2018, 03:07 PM

I was actually looking for Sakhir when I bought my car about 18 months ago, but couldn't find one for decent price, so I ended up with Sapphire Black instead. I think Sakhir looks great personally

Flying Ace · 03-09-2018, 04:28 PM

funny, I specifically did not want a BSM car when I was looking. It's the most common color. IMO, BSM doesn't pop and doesn't highlight the sharp lines of the GC.

My preference was Silverstone (other than individual frozen colors). AW was my 2nd least favorite after BSM, but I wasn't ruling out AW like I was with BSM. I just wish BMW didn't offer just AW on the M6. It' so pedestrian. They should have offered Mineral White.

Yes it was, why do you ask lol?

Rosho808 · 03-09-2018, 07:18 PM

I would love a moonstone on sakhir but that has proven to be quite the unicorn to find

I used to have Sakhir Orange exterior on black interior and full leather. The best color combo ever IMO

mgmarsh39 · 03-12-2018, 10:08 AM

Mine is BSM over Sakhir full leather. Gives it a bit of a pop to contrast all black.

brad850csi · 03-12-2018, 12:40 PM

Azurite Black with Platinum

Tanzanite Blue with Champagne

a Sahkir GC is pretty rare in itself.

sure...you can say that for any color combo.

There were about 12 base exterior colors combinable with 8 base interior colors (not counting extended vs full).

So you have 96 possible exterior/interior combinations across about roughly 3000 GCs, 2000 verts and 2000 coupes (rough numbers) across all model years in the world. Couple with the likelihood that most M6s were custom ordered, you're going to have very unique cars. I want to say, in any given city, you won't have 2 exact same M6s.

The most common combo I've seen on GCs is Black/Black
