Ladies and Gents,
I've put in an order for a 2013 E92 M3 with Steve Thomas and am told I'll be getting a March production allocation meaning I have a few weeks before my build has to be locked.

I started out wanting a stripper with no options except the individual color but talked myself into carbon leather trim and competition package. Interior will be black speed cloth and 6MT.

The order is currently approved for Santorini Blue which has been a long time favorite of mine, the intent is to paint the ZCP wheels black and get all the 'black chrome' grills tailpipes etc...

I spend at least 2 hours tossing in bed every night pondering if I made the right choice. I want something unique and flashy...but not too flashy...that will stand the test of time, i.e. in 10 years people won't see it as a 'fad' color.

So I posted a poll of my top 5 choices and am wondering what everyone thinks. Feel free to post more options.
Thanks,
-Curt

In order of appearance:
Santorini Blue
Hellrot
Speed Yellow
Frozen MCB
Frozen Brilliant White
I know what users PrimoM3, Bob Santorini, Ringmeister and Ilis will say...
