Hm well then if you like both maybe you should think about resale value then? Which car would be easier to sell the black or saddle brown? Maybe the black would hold its value better becuase more people would want it? Or maybe since saddle brown is rare it would hold its value better since more people would look hard for it? Honestly I have no idea which would hold its value better but if you decide not to lease maybe its something to consider.

Well i figure my resale wouldnt be that great now since i ordered black leatherette. Im sure most people want a BMW with real leather.

Which is kinda the reason if I were to get leather then I would want something other than just black. After all its $1300 more.

I love the 335i, but what will you be driving in the winters when it snows?

Saddle is my second fav interior color (aside from black), it's way more brown in person than in those pics. I'd avoid a black exterior e92 like the plague, personally.

I second that for almost any car. My wife just had to have her TL in NBP and she's regretted it ever since. They are difficult to keep clean and nearly impossible to maintain swirl-free without a ridiculous amount of care (which neither of us have time for).

I'll happily admire someone else's black car from now on...

Congrats on the purchase. Hopefully I'll have one by next winter. Regardless of the car I own, I'll be a consistent member of this great forum.

You can go ahead admire it. I'm already tired of cleaning this thing after 7 months of ownership.

à The fact that I chose Sapphire Black instead of Monaco Blue is killing me now,I've never regretted not choosing a color so much in my life . I have sleepless nights.
