Very nice indeed Pete! What did you have done in the end - ceramic coating?

Blue stitched interior is nicer than expected with a little stitching on the dash too.

So much tech to learn compared to my outgoing F30.

The blue stitching on the seats and dash cow bring out the blue in the seatbelts just lovely imo

Hi Neil.

No, the pocket couldn't stretch to a high quality ceramic coating so I ended up getting it machine polished to remove swirls(there weren't many at all to be fair) and a ceramic sealant to finish.
Usual Snow Foam, Fall out and Clay before. I did get the wheels ceramic coated though.
A bit of a compromise but it's come up very well.

Thanks.
I agree that the gloss black diffuser would look great. I need to wait until my insurance renewal as my current insurer accepted the splitter lip and side skirts but won't allow any more modifications.

Neither. Looks like mineral grey to me.

[Xsapper]

Yep it is Mineral Grey

I can't find any photos on here showing the Oxide grey. I was only given the option of Dravit Grey, the blue and Oxide grey so opted for the Oxide and now panicking

Stop panicking. It's not bad at all

Cheers, I assume it's the same on the July build of 330e. Can't wait to get it having had Audi's for the last 30 years. Was going to go for 420d M sport but the 330e reviews were raving so opted for that. Couldn't find any reviews between the current 420d and the new 330e...

Oxide grey is an ace colour. Would have had it if o could find a Touring at the time. And the G20 platform is miles ahead of the old one to drive, so no comparison needed 💪

Hi guys,
first time poster
Seen all the pictures and they look great.

Just placed the order on my BMW 330e M Sport with the M Sport Pro Pack,
I'm just worried about which colour - I've gone with Black Sapphire Metallic but seeing the Mineral Grey Metallic, I'm struggling to make my mind up!

The car will have the black front grill plus the bigger wheels (19)

anyone want to give their opinion?

Thanks

I went with Portimao Blue with oyster interior. Mine went into production this week, gets to the dealer in the first week of August but the lease company (company car) have said it can’t be delivered until September! I ordered on the 29th Jan!

I think the Carwow review might be Oxide grey, looks awesome..

Don't panic. Oxide Grey is superb. I ordered a 330e Touring with Fiona Red Full Merino leather last week. I've seen the colour in the metal a few times and it's stunning.

My spec is exactly as seen below...

Looks awesome colour and with the MSport plus edition it should really rock! Shame I'll probably have to wait ages for delivery but still excited to be getting it as soon as poss. Thx for the resonses

My demo car was mineral grey. I didnt like it, it looked dull and didnt stand out, Portimao,sunset and mineral black a superior colours imo.

Having seen dravit in the flesh, thats a stunning colour, esp when its clean and its a sunny day. Oxide is nice, I prefer the Dravit just because of the rarity.

Each to their own mate, after all it’s an opinion.
I personally like the blue best. I personally avoid silver and black cars in general, silver reminds me of company cars, and black is gorgeous for 30 minutes whatever the weather! Also I personally think scratches stand out more on black.... however black also polishes up the best imo, but doesn’t last long - dust, general weather, then again we all suffer from this.

I do like the greys, that would be my 2nd choice to blue.

Did you add on Tech Pack or anything else?

Silvers coming back 😀 the way Matt cars were a few years ago. Lots of interesting shades coming, Oxide has an edge to it that’s really nice. Agree black is a total nightmare for maintenance, ceramic coating helps but it’s still a pain. Tanzanite is also a high maintenance colour whereas silver looks spotless all the time.

Think you may have quite a wait. Mine was ordered 26th November and, fingers crossed, arrives 17th July!

Colour is such a subjective thing, to me silver cars are so boring, its the most unimaginitive colour out there. Mind i prob am in the minority, I still think red is a good colour. Ive owned black in the past, never again, i'd not have recession white either. At least bmw have some decent colour options, audi colours are duller than dull BMW blues are the pick of the bunch, but are getting quite common now.
