with that modern shape the car needs a fresh colour...gray and silver isn't really doing it any good. there are way too much silver cars already thats something for boring people bothered about the resale value (and incorrectly choosing a colour thats on its way out?!...)
My salesman said the samething. With the 5-spokes, it looks great, but the grey just isn't an "awesome" color anymore.
dark green and dark red are something for old people's cars, just like these weird things like atlantic blue (where is the blue in there?)...
The only BMW I feel Dark Green is suited for is the E36 3 Series. Of course, I haven't seen it on anything but a 3 Series, but I can imagine why.
Atlantic Blue looks amazing, but imo, only on the 650. The way the 650 is designed, really allows the Atlantic Blue to look good. But according to my salesman, the blue must be really good. Take it as you will, but he said when 1 is ordered and comes in, people really like it and there are at least 5-10 more orders for it.
black of course always works, but isn't anything special.
True. I suppose if I wanted a black car, I would have gotten the TL in it. But the wheel design I'm getting always plays a role for me.
more usual blues also do the job, although i would very much prefer monaco blue over montego, because that montego hardly looks different from the rubbish blue thats on the vauxhall corsa next to it, its a cheap blue you'll find on any cheap car. monaco blue in comparison is a lot more elegant and just looks classy.
Monaco Blue is def. 1 of my choices. 👍 It looks great on the 5, and I'd totally like to see a 335i with it. Montego was my original choice, but the color looks different outside from in. It's not ugly, but it doesn't quite have the same effect as it does in pictures.
however, my absolute favourite on this car is alpine white. white is doing quite a comeback lately and just fits some of these modern shapes perfectly.
Definately. I'd love to get Alpine White, and slap some sort of dark 5-spoke rims on it. That would be copying a friend though, who's getting something similar, and mine will be a lease. Either way, the white definately looks good. However, I'd have to either A)Opt. for the 2nd set of 5 spoke rims as they really pull off the color or B) See a white 335i w/ the standard 5-spokes.
Monaco Blue is what I would choose. It's a deep blue that's so much more inviting than the other blue.
Sapphire Black will reveal surface detail as the sun moves over it. Black is tough to keep clean, but is very classy.
Agreed.
Babera Red is something a little different to the normal 3-Series red.
It looks strange though. I've never seen one, and I think I'd have to.
I don't really get white cars, and would almost certainly never have one. The bright colours are all a little too garish for my eyes, and silver is what you should choose when you can't be bothered choosing.
Good points for many. As much as I love Alpine White, I don't want to order the car without seeing it. I almost made that mistake with Montego until I saw it in the flesh. Silver looks great, but it gives off a "Meh. Awesome. But Meh."
Sparkling Graphite Metallic or Black is what I'd choose if it were me.
The rims really pull off the black, but I imagine it'll be a pain in the ass to keep clean. It already is for my Carbon Bronze TL. Sparkling Graphite is supposed to look amazing, and different, but I still want to see it outside. I wasn't too thrilled to see it on the M6 Cab. on the floor although...it looked ok.
Black is also nice. It looks rich, and if you tint the windows and get chrome rims you can build your own pimp-mobile:tup:.
I'll be tinting the windows, but I don't think Chrome rims are on my list yet. For 1, it's a lease, so they'll just be going back (although, I'll have a couple years to enjoy them), and 2, they have to be aftermarket. I've seen chromed BMW rims, and they just don't look good. Only the 760iL, M6, and 550i really seem to pull it off. And unforunately, none of these are my list though I wish. The 550i was originally, but they're all way over base price, and the lease on one is something I don't want to ask.
I voted for space gray mostly because there is one cruising around my Seattle home in that color and I think it is probably about the coolest car in the area, and I guess the color helps it stand out. The last grey is a bit of a German car staple and the titanium is just different in a cool way.
The Space Gray seems to be a popular alternative for the other, but I'm not really keen on it myself.
I'd recommend Sparkling Graphite Metallic as my uncle has a 335D coupe in this colour combined with red leather seats and I think this is a great colour combination for this car:tup:
These cars really stand out and go like stink!
Cheers

Another Sparkling Graphite fan.
Although...I'd never go for the red interior. Not the way BMW has it, and certainly not with the Sparkling. I would only get red interior on Alpine White, but with red in the center, and black all around. Red leather seats just don't look good to me. I did see a M Roadster silver, and have red leather, but that was still borderline good looking.
Barbera red. All real men get their cars in that color.
Real men must like to lay low as I've never seen one.
). Anyways, I need to make a color decision somewhat soon (and decide on the car), as if I want the car by the time the lease is up, I'll have to order it by next month.
