Got to choose colour today - Help!
Hey guys,
I need some help please! I've pushed the button on a UK factory order 2015 M6 GC, but i have to choose the colour by tomorrow (Friday 2nd) and I just cant decide! I'm only looking at no-cost options, so no fancy individual stuff. UK no-cost leather is only black, silverstone, sakhir or amaro. My favourite leather is the amaro brown full, but I don't think that will go with the san marino blue exterior. San marino and sakhir leather looks great in photos, but it might be too over the top for day to day use. I don't want silverstone leather, my outgoing E63 has silver leather. Silverstone metallic is a great colour (easy to clean too) and that will go nicely with the amaro brown leather, so that could be top of the list right now. The space grey is too, well grey, singapore grey only looks nice freshly washed. I don't like white or black. aaarrghh! help! Last edited by doughboy; 10-01-2015 at 06:22 AM.. |

Thanks, it's good to have a positive on that combination.
I like it too, but was unsure if it was an ok combo as my wife says i'm colour blind, so I need all the help i can get! |

Check out that combo, looks stunning- not as bright as San Marino so more subtle. Looks like tarzanite blue.

Feeling the love for blue & brown
My mistake, it's ARAGON brown, not amaro! Any thoughts on Aragon? see it here with a flash of san marino blue That san marino blue is a really special colour IMO. Tanzanite Blue is an individual colour in the UK, £2000 extra. Any love for the Silverstone metallic? or the Sakhir leather? Last edited by doughboy; 10-01-2015 at 10:12 AM.. |

We have an x5m in long beach blue and aragon brown. Not the biggest long beach blue fan (that is what happens when you let your 4 year old daughter pick the color), but I really like the aragon brown.
It's a little more orange than amaro brown, but still stunning. Last edited by dsad1; 10-01-2015 at 10:45 AM.. |

I'm linking some pics. They always come out too big on this page, so I'm just using links instead of embedding them in shrunken form. Sorry. http://abload.de/image.php?img=imagen9sxq.jpg http://abload.de/image.php?img=imageb6j9w.jpg http://abload.de/image.php?img=imageoiktg.jpg |

One thing to note with a GC is that you get a strip of leather coloured the same as the leather in them middle of the roof, but for the standard (Aragon, Sakhir, Silverstone) options only, not Individual
For that reason alone with a GC I think it is worth going with something other than black leather but not Individual leather. |

But are you saying standard aragon will get an aragon roof strip? That would be cool. I've gone for the no-cost option alcantara headliner too (which I thought was grey rather than black?) |
