Bmw M40i individual with Merino Fiona Red interior

Laguna Seca Blue · 03-23-2018, 10:34 AM

Wait, someone paid actual money for a color indiscernible from Sand Beige?

I understand the old cliche "to each their own" but like, ew.

I wish we could get those rear headrests in the U.S.

which is interesting because on the BMW US page they showed this interior for the X4, so they are advertising something on a US site you can't buy in the US?

Easy on the hate folks. That's why it's called "Individual"

The exterior paint is not my cup of tea. IMO, this exterior color looks best with the 760i individual wheels.

raysspl · 03-23-2018, 11:09 AM

That's a very opulent yet sporty color combo

ron_jeremy · 03-23-2018, 01:57 PM

And it all begun with the ugly E83, X3 have really come a long way since it´s original, this is a impressive SUV.

PARTS@STBMW · 03-23-2018, 02:29 PM

Great combo.

classyfast · 03-23-2018, 07:49 PM

Two tone interior is terrible. Exterior isn't much better. Gold? Really? So bad

Bimar · 03-24-2018, 04:57 AM

Lots of hate here, tha s why it’s individual. The new Cayenne similar color called Palladium also a special color. Each to his own.

Color is subjective. That being said I wonder if Phytonic Blue will be carried over into 2019. I think I’ll need some kind of pill.

I test drove one this month when they gave me a loaner as my car went in for service. They drive very nice. It moves but you have to put the pedal all the way down and then it is not so fuel efficient. A diesel version with high torque would be nice for long trips. You would get comfort,speed and great fuel economy. Due to low CD the wind noise is almost not existent. Very quiet car at highway speeds.

In 5 years heavily discounted and reviewed by Doug Demuro, thanks to Toro. The crappy tasteless red leather is why it is discounted, of course. What a waste of leather.

A few photos of Sunstone metallic. Given comments so far, it seems that it is a good idea that it is not available in the US. The interior is a saddle brown colour that the marketing dept calls "tartufo".

The images have not been edited other than a slight crop. They were shot in mid morning light.

I know colour is very subjective, but I like that - black wheels definitely help the look.

Thanks.
The wheels are my winter 20" with Pirelli Scorpions. I would have preferred to go with a BMW winter package, but there was a supply issue in December - January.

The Pirellis are remarkably quiet for winter tires. It will be interesting to see how the Bridgestone 21" compare.

The video had a tint on it, actual daylight pics of the Fiona Red, a bit too red for me.
