I guess maybe BMW knows their customers and I may be the exception, but I would think offering a bit more color variety would be reasonable for a $50,000+ vehicle.

Prepare for this, because I was given the following answer by board members and the dealership... because BMW is an engineering / performance company, not an aesthetics company. (I asked why the interior/dash was just ho-hum.)

Congrats! That's pretty loaded! I'm expecting to pick mine up today or tomorrow and this morning I had kind of an emotional drive with my car, she knew we were over. When it's just not the same anymore, you need to move on...

That is the color I have chosen. I think it is classy and easy to maintain. Mine is bronze on tobacco with bamboo, 4.8 2008.

any opinions??

thanks

Was this car at Century West BMW? If so, they really, really!!! tried to sell me this car on 12/24/07. I went with the Alpine White 2008 4.8i instead. I like the platinum bronze, but the brown leather and the wheels didn't grab me. Auto tailgate was also a MUST, ane the platinum bronze didn't have it.
