Can't decide which color >=/

Bx Tpr · 03-07-2009, 04:11 PM

I'm close to pulling the trigger and placing an order but I have absolutely no idea what color to go with. I've searched and searched and I've narrowed it down to two choices. The Silverstone or Space Gray. I've seen the Space Gray online and have seen the Silverstone in person at the dealer. Both are great looking but I'm looking for the more rare color which I think is the Silverstone.

Wrong or right?

All comments/jokes are welcome.........except the ones that make me feel stupid =)

I've had Sparkling Graphite, Silverstone and now Space Gray with Fox Red interior. I like the Space Gray by far the best for what it is worth. I love the different shades that Silverstone takes on in different lighting conditions. But I think the lighter color softens the car's muscular lines. And the FR with Space Gray looks awesome IMHO.

I didn't know that about the Silverstone. Thanks and I agree, Space Gray is awesome.

Rare color? Yea, I never see silver or gray cars

You want rare? Go with blue or red

LoL. Rare for the M3 i meant.

The blue and red are great looking just too dark for my liking.

Space grey is the way to go. I would have ordered SG if my X5 wasn't SG already. I saw the SS yesterday actually. There is a blue tint to it. I didn't really like it. You have to see in person to decide. But SG gets my vote.

M3MIKE · 03-07-2009, 07:39 PM

coupe=Space Gray
sedan=Jet Black

Or how about a special order color? Imola Red, Brilliant White, Moonstone???

spyderco10 · 03-08-2009, 12:37 AM

I'd say Space Gray. If I didn't have a Gray Pcar for the past 5 years, I would've picked that up vs. the red.

Thank you to the few that actually helped. =)

I'm torn between AW and Silverstone. The Silverstone looks very light-blueish in the sun which I think looks amazing. But then again white looks pretty much amazing all the time.

Juano11 · 03-08-2009, 02:45 PM

I'd say Space Gray with Fox Red interior...but, of course, I'm biased.

I do get quite a few compliments on the color of my SG coupe though.

If I lived in an area with more knowledgeable BMW enthusiasts, I'd love to have that Laguna Seca Blue coupe that's been posted here. Unfortunately, around here I might as well cover the car in rainbow stickers. Everyone would think...who's that super gay gayetty gay dude with the baby blue M3?

AW's all over the place. Great color but I want something a little different. Those Silverstone's look badass!

Thanks for the pic.

That Silverstone picture above made me fill a cup!

As far as silver goes, I would rather have Titanium Silver. I don't like the blueish tint of silverstone. In your situation, go with Alpine White
