black or silver?

beemerbird · 02-18-2010, 02:02 PM

Out of the two colour choices posted, has to be black imo. A bugger to keep clean but with decent products applied to the paintwork and some TLC you can maintain a decent appearance.

But why is it most Mercs seem to look better in silver.

Sorry, just thought of that one lol. AMGs notwithstanding.

black looks good but its a pain to keep clean,also shows up all the dinks. Silver doesnt need cleaning as much and hides the dinks

Would you rather have a woman that wakes up looking average and stays the same throughout the day no matter what she does to herself...... or a woman that wakes up looking a bit rough but after a bit of TLC is applied looks stunning?!

Black on a 3, Silver on a 1er

Does this apply to blokes as well..........if so I'll have one.........ie. the latter

Just realised that youre right about the analogies, maybe there is something wrong with me! It seems only fair that it applies to blokes as well, however lets be honest its quite difficult for a man to scrub up and look that much different, women can push things up, pull things in and paint over the cracks.............if youre looking for a man that looks rough in the morning but scrubs up well in the evening you'll be hard pushed to find better than this fine specimen......

N'owt wrong with you at all!

I beg to differ, men can scrub up very well. Don't like painting over the cracks myself can emphasise rather than hide lol.

But jeez those pics you posted.

I had a black E46 sedan and now a silver E92. Black BMWs are just damn sexy. Silver however shows the lines of the car better (also looks amazing in low light).

I wouldn't say silver is any easier to keep clean though. Road dirt and tar is much more visible on silver. The rear end of my e92 is usually filthy within a week.

BLACK. Can't believe you even had to ask
