So I got a new lens and was bored...might take more exterior pics some other time

grey on grey not exactly the most exciting colour combo ever...

Very nice, my E90 has almost the exact same colour as your E93, with dakota grey and burr walnut, but only with a regular steering as opposed to the sports steering. The colour is a bit reserved, but it's more interesting than the even more common and boring beige dakota colour. And grey is functional and hides the dirt better, haha. With certain special colours may look great (i.e. "space grey" on the M3), those colours are more "fragile" and can't really stand the wear and tear of frequent driving. I prefer a relatively more "mundane" colour that can be more easily repairable. Of course, there are exceptions to my acceptance of "normal" colour. That brown "dung-like" colour on certain BMW and Mercedes model for instance I really cannot stand. Why offer a colour on your car that reminds you of what you did in the toilet? Hahaha.

My exterior is alpine white, which I did'nt like at first as it is not the most exciting colour, but after a while, the colour grew on me and it looks good on the E90. I find red (interior and exterior) is often the most aggressive colour (even more than black) but a red colour will mean you stick out like a sore thumb in the traffic and you will be the first one to be targeted by the police.
