Combo thoughts...
So, what do you think of the color combos?

i would go for the white but with black.. Red are cool but it is... red!!
orion is a littel borring! Space grey are very nice but i dont think red is a good colour for it. Space grey has a littel blue in i. If you are going for red interior go for black or white.

If you like red interiors (and I like red interiors ), I'd definitely go for white.
I haven't seen the new Z4 in person yet, but I hope to see it soon in white, hopefully at BMW Welt, since I like white too. As for the wheels, I'd go for Style 296, since they have a cleaner design than 293's in my opinion.

I personally love the orion silver color (which is why I have ordered it) but it does not go at all with the red.
Honestly, orion silver and red is an absolute no go. I personally don't like the red since it is
From the combinations you have given I like the white/red most. Silve and red - I am not sure about that one either. I would rather go for space grey in that case. If you really go for red, don't forget that the roof liner comes in beige by default. So anthrazit roof liner is a must for red interior... In any case I think the red is something you must have seen in real life before ordering it. Regarding the wheels: I am not into that - I want max comfort which is why I would always choose 17 inch (even if they don't look as good). Just my two cents. |

I totally agree with aheinz_71 about the fact that before ordering a car with a given colour combo you should have seen it in real life.
Unfortunately white Z4's are not so common to see on the road, and the one exhibited at BMW Welt, in example, has white interiors. It's also true that choosing red interiors the lower part of the dash is red too, and this could be a little "too much red". As for the wheels, I forgot that the 296's are 19", whilst the 293's are 18", so this could be a matter of choice.

It's just my opinion but I don't care much for Alpine white, it tends to make most cars look like appliances and wash out the lines. I favor darker colors for the Z4 which show up the distinctive side sculpturing. Love the red interior though, make mine Sea Blue or Black w red.
If you'd prefer a lighter color, I'd say Space Grey is the best. |

Orion silver makes the car look classy and comfortable (some could argue "old fashioned"). Normal silver is... well silver (everybody has it). White is a fashion in my opinion. How long will it last? (it looks ok though) Non-metallic red - I have not seen one yet but I guess it will look cheap - almost like a toy. Blue gives the car a very sporty look while black definitely has the meanest look of all colors. Havanna is also a nice color but then you are forced to have the white seats (no way!) |

yeah like the Havanna but white seats.. nada.. but looks good - but not for real use...
do like the blue.. too.. and still agree the color choices for the interior are far too few and with red too much on the dash makes it a bit over powering..

Of the three combos proposed I think silver on red looks the best. Personally, white on black is better than white on red. Black on red is awesome and I think dark grey on red works even better than silver on red.
Dark Blue on brown works very well also. |

not ordered yet.. selling private ... dealer not the best offer.. (might order by Tuesday)
and I think I won't be ordering red.. looks good.. but to live with each day.. like white, not the best choice... since this is my retirement car and will be keeping for many years of driving - top down - enjoyment..
