Post Opinions on a color scheme

BMW individual is a great program, too bad we don't have it here. In any case, i was wondering what you gentleman think of a color scheme I've recommended for a friend's new 330Ci (assuming, of course, his dealer will allow him to order BMW individual items - cross your fingers Amir!):

The exterior color will be:





And the interior scheme is either Arizona Sun Leather with Birch Blue trim:





Which also looks like:





The other interior scheme I suggested was blue leather with poplar natural trim:





Which kind of looks like:





Sorry about the length, but this should give you a good idea. I think the exterior color is simply magnificent, and a yellow leather/blue trim would really make it that much more special.

opinions?

The velvet blue exterior is stunning!
and I think the the arizona sun leather would compliment that blue well. The birch blue wood looks very elegant and special, but have to see it in person to see how well it works with the leather and the exterior color. Overall, I think the car is going to look great in that combination.

btw, if available in the US, does anyone know roughly how long production is for a car with BMW individual colors/trims?

bah , im not feeling the arizona sun, but the exterior is stunning, same with the wood trim. But amir, i think you should load up the 330 with too much, it will get overpriced really quick i think. Spending 42 to 46g's g's on a 330 i think is getting a little to much up there imo. go for the jet black/ tanin red interior, i think it is pretty hot. also i dont know if you would be interested, but they also have the awd out know, dont know if it comes in conv. or 4 door. dont know if you get enough bad weather for it to matter for you, but they do help in launching the car, to bad they dont have a switch to give you only rwd traction, that would be a nice option.

Thanks for the reply fais, but awd is useless here in houston, the only advantage I would have is to better navigate through traffic, by going through construction zones full of mud and stuff heh. =). But anyway, I told Dan, the interior seems a little too flamboyant (the arizona sun). I was feeling that velvet blue metallic though, and it looks gorgeous on that m5 in the picture. I'm opting for the steel grey on tanin red.

Is it just me? Or does the red leather look stunning?

Gah, and I officially suck at posting pictures, just click on the links and check out the pics =)
