Bluestone Metallic and Night Blue Upholstery
So, I discovered today that somehow the lease company screwed up my order, and it can't be changed without causing further delay... my car is in production now...
Question: anyone seem Night Blue Upholstery in the new G30 in real life? What are your thoughts. (I have Bluestone Metallic on order) The online configurator probably does not do it justice, BMW Sales Exec says Night Blue 'looks great' in the flesh... I ordered LCNL (Black with blue stitching/piping), but they somehow got Night Blue because of the abbreviated description on the lease order site... I really didn't want blue leather ! I know it is personal preference... I just think blue and a black dash clashes

In the photos forum see the thread "HD Photos...Back to the Track"
On page 2 there is a photo of night blue interior. I'm on mobile so I'm having trouble posting direct link. |

Ugh. Thanks for the pics E90 (I'm not OP). I think I'm going to really have to find the midnight blue locally, then.
In the previous pictures posted, I really liked the look...or at least I thought I did...and that was what I was planning to order . However, in your first pic, it looks like a washed out blue. Also, I had not previously noticed that it's only the seats and doors in blue. Everything else is in black/grey leather (see steering wheel). I guess I'll have to try and see this color in person to see if it works or not.

Wow, terrible news.
Sorry to say, but I saw the sample of it, and it looked just as bad as in the pics.

I saw it today on a white g30, looking at it I didn't notice at first glance, only when I looked a the vertical part of the seat did I notice.
This was inside the showroom so will look different in day light. I wouldn't buy it, and wouldn't accept it if I came by mistake. Depends whether you can wait again |

Interestingly I showed my daughter and wife the night blue colour pictures and they thought it was brilliant ! Fascinating dynamics there...

I liked the blue interior when I saw it, which surprised me since I tend to think leather should only be dyed colors that actually appear on cows. However, I also saw it on a Bluestone Metallic car and did not like the combination. It is just too much blue on blue.

My Client Advisor saw the Night Blue at a BMW event and he thought that it looked beautiful.

Bad enough having to have some mangy old cow slaughtered to line the inside of your car let alone it looking like a friesian.... Just sayin'

I liked it at first but that picture of the sunlight hitting it sort of ruined it for me. I'll reserve final judgement until seeing it in person.

Thanks, actually it does not look so bad there... much darker and classy looking, without the high contrast between blue and black
