AW grows on me more and more everyday. I have always been a black (any variation) on black guy. Has anyone out there who owns an AW M3 (or has seen one) become a convert (from black cars)? The pics look nice but I am afraid to order AW without seeing it in person first. I always loved the way black cars look after a nice wax and tire/rim detail. I just want to know if you black (car!) traditionalists get that same feeling from AW? No regrets? Right?
Thanks for any insight!

White has become a very clean color. And it's popularity is growing alot in recent years since manufacturer's have been releasing more Alpine White's and less Pearl Whites. Its a very fresh color.

I, myself, am very tempted to go white but I've never owned a black car yet and thats what my heart is set on.

///Mardor forgive me if you have already seen this video, but Chris Harris' first M3 video shows just how good AW looks while Chris walks around his new purchase.

In the sun it is to die for.

I have never been a fan of black not because of how it looks but because of the difficulty in keeping it clean. However my last 6 cars have been silver and my present car is BMW sterling grey, (which is a pretty dark grey).
I went in to my dealer a few months ago, they had an AW M3 on display and it looked amazing, so good in fact that i bought it and will be picking it up in exactly 25 days.

AW looks fantastic in the "flesh" and in my opinion you should absolutley go for that colour.

Thanks guys! I am just nervous about ordering it before i see it. Don't want to regret not going for black. So far it seems like i won't!

I found these on the Australian BMW website. I wonder why BMW didn't include these on other sites because they are really nice.

The last one is a wallpaper I made.

///MArdor · 12-12-2007, 09:52 PM

I just put that first pic as my wallpaper. Wife is already bitchin!

nice find

savage.ulm1 · 12-13-2007, 01:12 PM

I would say that all people looking at the car say that it is the right choice. Not because it is mine, but I want to confirm that after a month I am totally convinced about this colour....It is pretty also when the car is dirty...Really...

Bye bye now

Those pics are amazing. I am sold out on AW.

UltimateBMW · 12-13-2007, 01:45 PM

I like the filters you put on that last pic with the 2 planes.

nusevad · 12-13-2007, 02:01 PM

those are some nice pics savage, do you have the last picture in high res??

mofomat · 12-13-2007, 03:59 PM

Now THAT'S how to take a picture of a car!

Champagne?......Champagne?.....CHAMPAGNE?!!

which one sorry?do you mean the 4th pic or the photoshop (5th shot)?
this one I haven't sorry...

///M3 · 12-13-2007, 08:06 PM

Do you have any of them in high res? I'd really like to make a wallpaper with those.

By the way, did you guys see the new 1:18 models that are out now? AW, IB and MR are the colors available as dealer editions with SG coming later as a regular edition along with IB.

Mines on it's way!

///MArdor · 12-13-2007, 10:23 PM

These models should come with the car (or do they?). Anyways I called my dealer and officially changed from Jerez to AW! Thanks Savage and others for your great pics!

Would "SG" be space grey or sparkling graphite.
