Rare colour combo? (E85)

Post by Cruze85 » Sun May 12, 2019 6:32 am

Hi All,
First post, first Z4 :D
Purchased this few days ago and polished it up yesterday and I’m really pleased with it! Just hope mechanics of it are all going to be sound.

Just wanting to know how rare this colour combo is? It’s controversial combo so be interesting to see people options. I believe it’s Monoco blue but not sure and no idea what the tan name is called. (if anyone can comfirm)

Here’s some pics next to me brother in laws mx5 should be a fun summer!

Looks nice to me, not sure why it might be controversial though :thumbsup:

9 UK cars in that combo - I quite like it, blue with tan (caramel) is a pretty classic combination

Monaco blue with caramel leather and piano black. THE best interior combo imho. But then I would say that!.....

It's "sort after" and "should of" that get to me
