platinum bronze opinions?
 

im about to go to the dealer to look at a platinum bronze fully loaded 4.8 that I could get an amzazing deal on considering i have to end my E53's lease early..The color is platinum bronze and I usually hate bronze colored cars but maybe this will be diffrent?

any opinions??

thanks :thumbup:

Ask Kaify!! He's probably snooping around here somewhere with a fake moustache and sunglasses......

It looks amazing with the aero kit. Not so much without. Imo.

THAT' S GREAT!!!!

now that was funny!!!:bustingup

Thanks everyone for the opinions...

I didnt like the car at all, I really wanted the 20" Y spokes and it had the standard sport 19's. The papers were all ready when I realized the car didnt knock me out like the E53 had when I first got it. I'm not going to drive something that I dont love despite the great deal. I am going to go tommorow and order an '08 and get everything exactly how I want it.

Thanks anyways..

Apparently it is very hard to come by certain countries!

the platinum bronze is very sexy indeed LOL .. i think it suits the x5 a lot !! but white is better looking , i admit ..

I like the Platinum Bronze a lot, but I always wonder by BMW seems to have such limited color choices, e.g., I really like the metallic whites that many companies are putting on their cars, but if you want white, you can only get a plain-jane non-metallic. Same with Reds for the most part. Yet, they will do odd things like the Urban Green on the Z4 a few years ago, of which they probably only sold a dozen (My salesman when I bought my Z4 told me that one of their customers ordered an Urban Green Z4 and when it got to the dealership, the salesmen were making bets with each other as to whether he would accept it or not.)

I would love to order an X5 in a nice bright red metallic, or a more subtle white-metallic, or even a light blue metallic. Instead BMW give you a Blue so dark it could almost be mistaken for black when not in the sunlight, a couple of silver/grays (would you like your gray light or dark Sir?), and two blacks (plain or metallic Sir?) and two greens (light or dark Sir?.)

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.

I agree - On our E53 we ended up with toledo blue, because it was the only colour we would 'tolerate' that was compatible with our interior colour choice. Result being we have a nice interior but an entirely boring and un-eventful exterior ... black and white - its the new beige :) (joke)

I wish they would make some brighter colours available. There is a bourdaux coloured E53 in our area - what a beauty :)

lol I wouldn't ride the gold.

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.)

well I did it...

I ordered a '08 4.8i
Saphire Black
Tabbaco with Bamboo

Technology Package

Im so excited...Im kind of glad there is a bit of a wait as it will take some time to get rid of my beloved E53. :bawling:

nice nice.. CONGRATS! you will love it. The idrive and the camera.. man can't live without.. (HUD too)

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.:damn: When it's just not the same anymore, you need to move on...

take a picture

Bronze
 

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.

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.
