what colour

tinka · 01-23-2009, 04:22 PM

, im bored.

If you could get your current car again, what colour would you choose?.

For me it would be, white or the same colour again, le-mans blue, i also like bluewater which is on the facelift e90.

I like my Space Grey, but white does look good.

I would like a red BMW but the paint is supposed to be a nightmare to keep looking tip top.

Space Grey is low maintenance.

sheps · 01-23-2009, 04:34 PM

Another white from me.
Not only is it an incredible looking colour (and has outlasted what people called a fad of 12 months) but my current black car looks horrendous 50 miles after looking gleaming.
I've given up trying to keep it clean in this weather, although it now resembles the 'Gaffers' car, less the parking tickets on the back seat.

Have you seen Moonstone: not quite silver, not quite grey? Really effective on the M3; looks "metal" if you see what I mean. Makes Titanium look quite washed out...

Le Mans Blue....if we only got that option.

M3-FAST · 01-23-2009, 05:02 PM

White with saddle brown leather (+ hifi option!!!!!!!)

Gibbo · 01-23-2009, 05:10 PM

Avus Blue if BMW would do it special order.

rup · 01-23-2009, 05:34 PM

Titanium, still looks great and hides the scrathches!

dxb335d · 01-23-2009, 06:02 PM

I like my Monaco, I would love JET BLACK thats the bollox.

Sapphire black is nice but Jet black is the nutz. But would show imperfections easily.

Also I Like crimson red.

TMP · 01-25-2009, 04:17 AM

I agree mate - I do like solid black, esp just after a good wax'in so it looks deep n wet

.

I am really into my TiAg at the moment though - makes a change as last 5 years I kept away from silver

ed335d · 01-25-2009, 05:48 AM

I would go for SG again, but it seems to not be an option any longer (when you look at the car configurator on the BM web)

beemerbird · 01-25-2009, 06:19 AM

That bluewater is a lovely colour imo though I did like my space grey on the 335d..............shame BMW don't do a Porsche GT silver metallic, think it would look good, especially on the E92's.

Geoffo · 01-25-2009, 06:37 AM

Mines black & it looks great...from a distance,but up close it shows up scratches.next time I'd choose titanium..

atariboy · 01-25-2009, 07:02 AM

Well I opted for white with red leather upon the advice of my local stealer and some of the guys on this site and I tell you, I dont regret it for one moment. It is simply stunning.
It depends on whether you want to be noticed. There arent many white cars around and it does stand out. I lose count of how many admiring glances the car gets every day. I guess the only downside is that no doubt some of the mindless idiotic vandals around may just target it one day

booforty · 01-25-2009, 07:32 AM

Still love SSII on the M - its my favourite M colour and contrasts well with the c/f roof

Yep, your M3 does look stunning in that colour

. Is the SSII a shade or two darker than TiAg (havent seen one in the metal)?

Its actually more bluey than it is silver.

CD · 01-25-2009, 12:47 PM

Black just looks

... it really is the new black

but if i couldnt have black then deffinately Onyx Blue ... its a paint from the BMW Individual Collection. I saw it on a Z4 Coupe in the dealers, it looked amazing !!!!!

G33 · 01-25-2009, 12:54 PM

another vote for alpine white for me. if only they did a pearlescent white i wud have opted for it...

That onyx blue looks like a lighter shade of carbon black under those lights

tinka · 01-25-2009, 01:54 PM

dont know why, but the white on an e90 makes it look, how can i put it, butch, it highlights the lines down the side more.

tisme · 01-31-2009, 06:03 PM
