Osten that teal colour looks good to me but then I'm biased as its only slightly lighter colour than my 1930 Sunbeam. I would not choose quilted leather as I associate it with dressing gowns. Fluted leather is more in keeping. The side pockets are of little use, about large enough for a phone.
I took over a cancelled order ready built & the spec was good, Sport Blue, tan fluted leather, mohair tonneau. Not sure I would have ordered the bright pack but its fine apart from cost. I got the car in 3 weeks.
Its your money so get what pleases you without worrying too much about resale just as long as its not pink.

Thank you everyone for your honest answers. I've already reached out to the factory (and awaiting their answer - which in Geneva Motorshow week might be stupid).

========================================
=====QUESTIONS I NEED HELP WITH=========
========================================
I have a few questions that maybe you guys can help me out:

in the EU4 configuration what is:

I. EU3 appearance pack (any pictures of with or without)
II. Replacement of light tidy & mirrors kit (what's that?)
III. Removal of intake piping kit (is that the awful pipes in front of the v-twin [why would you want that - does it affect homologation?])
IV. Can you get the exhaust painted black - If yes for how much (it is not listed)
V.Also Is the full windscreen a better choice ? I'm 186 so I doubt it will make much of a difference. Interested in your feedback.
VI.Heated seats - Well i have 340 days of sun a year and it rarely goes below 15 degrees where i live - Can it be retro fited when i move back to France ?
VII. Moto-Lita steering wheel? It comes with the 110 - Any idea what it looks like ?

My mind is pretty much set on what i want - The last hurdle is the EU3 vs EU4 questions above.

I am going for a new one for two reasons:

1. Depreciation/availability/cost of newer "used" generations is very close to the cost of a new one
2. With a vehicle that specific you want to make your own

You can have your cake and eat it. If the colour you want is too wild for most tastes, then order a 'sensible' colour, then just get it wrapped in plastic, any colour your heart desires, it will protect the original paint, and can be removed at sale time like a chameleon shedding its' skin.

Additionally, a lot of little extras like union jack badges, better steering wheel, full windscreen, etc etc can be added later and for a lot less money than MMC will charge you. It will then truly be your car, specc'd by you and modded by you.

You know it makes sense, go for it.

The hardest part of ordering my M3W was colour choice.

With main street cars you typically have half a dozen or so colours and a few trim options.

But when someone says you can have ANYTHING YOU WANT, that really does get the grey matter on overtime.

+1

In my opinion, being able to spec the color is the best - and most reasonably priced, relatively speaking - of all the M3W options!

I also pondered how to pick a color, but then decided to stick with choosing among the colors available on the Corvette in 2017. I selected Admiral Blue - a deep metallic iridescent blue - that I still really like on the M3W. When I ordered my 2014 Corvette convert, I went with silver metallic, primarily because I wanted the red interior, but I still liked the blue.

Go with the light blue you like; it's quite visible too which is a good thing.

I've seen a blue like that with the 'Lipstick Red' interior and thought that was a bit much. Maybe a chocolate or dark tan for the leather.

Buy it for you and enjoy!

Buying it with a bright color is excellent advice! I've almost been hit too many times as the stock blue is dark and if I go behind a car or to one side I am not seen as the top of the roll hoops are a bare meter off the ground! Tempting to fix a bicyclist neon orange flag on the thing so that others can see that there is something there!


What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.

That’s the reason I’m still very happy with my Gulf colored M3W !!

Go with polished aluminum for the reflective sunshine and headlight effect!

Honestly, too many options is guaranteed 'paralysis by analysis'. Custom is fine but if a good opportunity falls in your lap, a full vinyl wrap is a legit cost-effective option. You are the only one who will know. Plus, the ear-to-ear grin on your face while underway will never notice the color.

The latest 110 M3W have black Exhaust and black Heat grille so should be possible

one of my Car have small Aero screen , it's the car i love the most but i drive it the last due to the wind in the face, wear goggle always is not so nice, so if i have to go in M3W i will go in full windscreen (you have several option in that point)

The question of E3 looking, you better discuss that with a dealer
