What are the TOP three colors for the E92 M3?

MistaVauros · 07-03-2008, 10:19 AM

I am posting this poll for two reasons. First, I want to know what people think. Second, I want to help narrow down my decision on a color when it is time for me to trade-up to the E92 M3.

Thanks

According to the poll above:
1) AW (big surprise!)

2) JzB
3) Sp Gray

valeram · 07-03-2008, 10:27 AM

I chose SSII but I think it is AW followed by either JB or SG.

White08M3 · 07-03-2008, 10:28 AM

AW is def most popular...kind of regret getting it

ss109 · 07-03-2008, 10:31 AM

I think SS2 is the sexiest, with Fox interior.

Of course I know a lot of people will disagree!

Big Windy · 07-03-2008, 10:33 AM

wow

Not surprised. The guy at BMW Welt told me that they had delivered more AW M3s than any other colour - trendy as hell.

JzB for me! And it's a unique ///M colour

JEllis · 07-03-2008, 11:08 AM

Hands down AW... at least on this forum...not sure if this forum is a good representation of the rest of the world. In reality I think not, my opinion is that in the long run the silvers (SSII, SG) are going to be the most popular....

Avoided AW also, way too common.

MistaVauros · 07-03-2008, 11:24 AM

Do you guys feel that something is not quite right with SSII? I keep looking at it and to me it just appears too bright. When you compare it to TiAg, it almost looks like a silverish-white. I have not seen one in person yet and will probably feel differently once I do. I don't know, it just seems to be a little off from what a good silver should be (Porsche makes the best silver IMO).

SSII is not true silver, it has a blueish tint to it. My previous two M3's were Silver, and I didn't choose it on this one because i didn't like how it looked under certain conditions. If you're looking for TiAg, SSII isn't it.

You have to see it in person. It got this very very light bluish tint (almost similar to the F car)and it look elegant, IMHO, not flashy. I had to see it in person before I commited into it. My initial choice was AW until I saw it in person. It is more on an acquired taste.

gbelton · 07-03-2008, 12:37 PM

Alpine White is Killer!

MistaVauros · 07-03-2008, 01:33 PM

I think I'm at a point where I would only get the E92 M3 in AW (and I don't really like white), Jet Black or another Interlagos Blue (My 05 ZCP is IB).

Thanks

Davinhci · 07-03-2008, 03:21 PM

AW, if I had to order again after seeing all the colors i would still get it. Shit all my cars are white.

TheBry · 07-03-2008, 05:21 PM

White is for rental cars or city services vehicles <--- just kidding.

Jerez Black all the way baby! And, as Voltigeur pointed out, it's a color reserved only for the ///M (won't see this on other 3-series cars).

DonM3 · 07-03-2008, 05:32 PM

AW/carbon roof contrast is too good to pass up

icemang17 · 07-04-2008, 09:49 AM

Its official Melbourne red is the least common color on M3's.....I am surprised to see Interalgos blue the 2nd least common since those are my two favorite colors.... Of course I'm not surprised to see white #1.....

booforty · 07-04-2008, 10:19 AM

Black hides the M3's lines, bulges and c/f roof imo

moog55 · 07-04-2008, 11:54 AM

Space Gray FTW

ayman36 · 07-04-2008, 02:31 PM

I think Jerez black is nice, but I went with the SSII and extended fox red interior. I just think the SSII has more class in it its a very class color and the fox red just makes it look sporty lol. Well to be honest you really need to see the SSII to decide cause i really dont think pics do it justice, pics are always different from real life. What ever color you choose though I really hope you enjoy it

and at the end its an M3

sayemthree · 07-04-2008, 07:55 PM
