Lemon + Montego Blue YAY OR NAY?

abuzzl23p · 09-12-2007, 09:47 PM

Up until a few weeks ago i had been sold on a black/coral/alum e92...when most of the new bmw's i've been seeing had this exact color combo i decided to rethink my decision...

does any one have a Montego/Lemon/Poplar e90? having only seen the lemon interior on this board i was curious to see if those who had seen lemon in person find it a good match for the montego exterior?

SlammedR8 · 09-12-2007, 09:49 PM

can someone post a picture of the lemon interior?
dont think ive seen it

SlammedR8 · 09-12-2007, 09:50 PM

and buddy...your not sure about color?
your also not sure if you want a 2 door (e92) or a 4 door (e90)
maybe u should figure that out b4 u even start thinking about colors?!?!??!?!

abuzzl23p · 09-12-2007, 09:52 PM

well its whichever exterior/interior combo works better decides which one i get

jhsti · 09-12-2007, 10:54 PM

Get the montego and lemon. Here's a pic of mine. I love it and most people say they think its awesome too. Definitely dont see too many around.

i'm a big fan of blue cars with light interiors. and lemon is my favorite light interior.

nmulax · 09-13-2007, 12:58 AM

Black and Coral is good (definetely sporty), but nothing looks as clean as Montego and Lemon with the light wood.

abuzzl23p · 09-13-2007, 01:17 AM

wow

montego w/ lemon, but e92

xxE90xx · 09-13-2007, 01:53 AM

if you dont mind seeing a lil dirt/discoloration on your seat, then getting lemon is a no brainer. I have the same exact color combo (lemon- montego E90 335i) and it truly is an amazing combo...

you can't get lemon on the e92. it's an e90 only priority 1 option.

astra · 09-13-2007, 04:55 AM

def. lemon!

you can get what you want, you are paying for it.

Sniz · 09-13-2007, 07:12 AM

never saw that option on the e92

vbb · 09-13-2007, 08:01 AM

Does lemon look good? Yes.

Will it look good after 2 years? Maybe.

It's going to take some effort to keep it looking nice and clean. You might want to keep a bottle of leather cleaner and a rag in the car if you get that color!

CnoteMD · 09-13-2007, 08:13 AM

Definitely go with the Montego Blue and Lemon interior. I think its one of the nicest combinations on the E90/E92. Since lemon appears to only be available as a priority 1 option on the E90, it makes the decision even easier.

shawshank772 · 09-13-2007, 08:23 AM

Yeah, go with Montego blue with lemon. I dont know what grain you would get though. I do like gray poplar, but dont know how that would go.

The only other down side is that with dark cars such as black blue etc you cant see the lines as well. Specifically down the side of the car.

*35i · 09-13-2007, 08:27 AM

What do you guys think about AW w/ Lemon. I am just not sure if the 2 whites will clash or if the alternating white black of the interior with the outside white will look stunning.

Actually no you can't. At least not in the US.

Since Lemon's only on the E90 and Gray Poplar is only on the E92, that combo's not an option to the OP.

I think the 2 whites would clash. Plus the Lemon needs that darker exterior to offset it.

I am in the same boat, I was set on a Montego blue with black interior until I saw the Montego blue and lemon combo at my dealer......
