M135i - colour advice! ?

Hi all - looking at an M135i to replace my 997 C2S - but cannot decide on the colour combination! My favourites are:

- Mineral Grey / Ivory
- Sapphire Black / Ivory
- Glacier Silver / Black

All with the streamline wood interior.

I know this is a very personal thing and looks are in the eye of the beholder - but what views are out there on these?? Any comments most welcome!

I'd go for mineral grey but with coral instead of Ivory

I've always found MG a bit dull unless it's spotless and a sunny day, SB looks great when it's clean but a it's a pain to keep looking clean, can't say I've actually seen a GS 1 series in the flesh, but as you said it's a personal thing, I've always liked EB but some think it's a bit loud, I like the ivory interior over other colours and that's what I went for even though it needs cleaning once a month, not really a problem as a quick rub with a leather wipe does the job

Had a good look at a AW / coral this evening - coral really not to my taste! Looks good though...

MG / Oyster is leading the charge at the moment!!

It's apparently Oyster instead of Ivory - my bad. V similar though...

Valencia Orange which is an M colour and only recently has it been offered for 1-2 series. I don't like the ivory interior go black

I'd be disbarred from the marital bed if I went VO!

I already have a loud car for the occasion when that's needed (attached) - want to go incognito with my DD...

Mineral gray + coral red

Does wood and M135i fit in the same sentence?

Of your preferences I'd probably go for the mineral grey with oyster interior.

My F30 is mineral grey with oyster seats, looks very nice. A year on the seats still look like new, no problems with dye transfer or getting dirty, only cleaned them 3-4 times in 13 months

Thanks for all the replies guys - I saw an SB / Coral car at Goodwood today and definitely think the MG is nicer. Coral isn't for me - it's lovely but a bit too much - so I think it's MG/Oyster with streamline for me!!!
