Your car looks great!

I just picked up this E90 from a dealer (these are their pics)...2 tone palladium/black. Haven't gotten around to taking better pics yet, though. Palladium seems to be a bit darker than silver, but I really am liking the combo.

I like the color so much I got our 135i in the same blue.









Even looks good dirty.

I think this is my favorite color for the E92 M3. Really shows off the lines well and contrasts the CF roof perfectly.
Also its not as common as white or black.

I love the LeMans... they only make the m5 in Monte Carlo Blue but LeMans is where its at

Just couldn't get there because of the odd tones they took on in different lighting. I get that that's what BMW was going for with these colors - uniqueness. But the variations in Melbourne, Silverstone and Interlagos just lost me. I feel like the car in either shade of white looks too hippy - as in overweight. Either of the blacks? I have another black car - and I'm not making that mistake again. And my '08 was Space Gray. Process of elimination leaves Le Mans Blue. I would have preferred to have been really drawn in by Le Mans Blue, but have to tell you that once I saw the color, combined with the Bamboo leather and the Sycamore Anthracite trim, which has a subtle tan fleck which picks up the seat color, I question why I made myself suffer over this choice in the first place. I got LOTS of compliments on it from people who saw it on the street in italy (as in the pic below - me looking smug with my arms folded), and people who saw my ED trip pix. Can't wait to get it back.

Thanks for the nice write up! I feel the exact same way as your write up. I kinda wish LMB was a little darker, or had more dark gray tones in it. But alas, for the sake of something attractive and beautiful on the car, LMB it is.
