Go with the white! Even a stock one is a head turner.

Black is so hard to clean. I know because I've owned one. White still looks good with a little dirt on it.

If you really want to stand out order the car with a non BMW color. Custom color of your choice. Cost you more but you would stand out!

With coral red, I don't think you can go wrong with either color. I have a Jet Black M3 with Imola Red interior and I get tons of complitments on it. I think that a black BM with tints looks amazing, but white has been catching my eye lately- especially if you want to go with any carbon fiber pieces, or dark wheels. You will be happy with both, but black gets my vote (by a hair)!

Alpine White would look great with Coral Red. I gotta tell you, black doesn't really stand out in a crowd. If that's what you're after I think AW will be more noticable.
Or you could get Sonora if you REALLY want to stand out!

Hi
I'll get mine in AW... so I'll explain my considerations upon this color: -My last car was black. I wanted to change -AW is more exclusive. Not everybody dares to wear this color -AW is less dirt sensitive. When you just have cleaned your car, if black, you must start to wash it again. Every little particle of powder is visible from miles away... ![]() -AW lets the body profile of the BMW a better shine. Clear colors show best the car's line. Darker colors mask the lines. And the coupe is damned beautiful to mask it. -AW is classy and sporty at the same time -And lately I have discovered that AW is most appealing to women. So if you wanna take lookings from them.... ![]() Well, hope you choose the color you like most. Best regards |

Ahh, I forgot to say that AW is less sensitive to Global Warming, I mean you'll feel more fresh inside your car. Black is a heat cell when parked at sunlight, and even more in hot summer.

Well guys, alot of white cars in the US, also in Asia - white colours = luxury, or high class.
Why is that? ![]() I mean, in Europe it's the other way around, white cars are just not beeing sold. (Cops are driving in white cars, so are taxi's.) Allthought, having said that, i think there are more white BMW on the road with E9*and E87, than before (E46, E39, E36) And personaly i think it looks great. Here we have Le mans blue, black, SG, and S Grafitte, very few white. Personaly, i get a lot of head spins of my Le mans blue E90 M sport, more so when my gf drives of course. ![]() I just find it strange why you prefer white over black, i guess each his own? ![]() So to answear your q, go for Montego, that's a great colour. |

E92 335i is a head-turner in any case, just as long you don't get the green color

He asked for a head-turning color and yet nobody recommends Crimson Red lol.
Personally, I would go with Jet Black regardless of the maintenance. However, BMW's are usually either Black, Grey, White, or Silver. If that irks you, then go with Montego Blue, which won't be the cop magnet Crimson would be. |

get the white. Modded I think white looks better than black because with a black car you can not see the lines of the car as easy as white.

hmm, thanks for the help.. the reason i dont want Black Sap. is because i dont know if its always like this or maybe to my eyes.. under the sun black sap has a purplish color.. i dont know maybe its just me.. the REason why im not getting montego blue is.. because the car i drive now is blue.. and i didnt want to go for another blue color.. kind of got sick of it..i was gna get the red..but i dont know i changed my mind ( if it was imola REd.. i would have jumped on that color).. white will look really hard after mods.. i dont know.. personally having dust on the car isnt gna bother me toooo much... jet black on coral is realllly hard ...
