Color dilemma as always POLL

Buschy · 09-28-2011, 08:19 AM

Yes I know been here done that, and yes colors are subjective but we all love opinions. I already made up my mind but I am just curious to see what people have to say. I also think that these type things open people up to something they may not know, ie: someone may post a color or combo that I was unaware of.
This will be on a fully loaded e92.

See the poll and vote away, if you vote other please list in comments.
I have not even seen these colors in person so I hope I love it when I do.
Also I tried to get frozen silver/frozen polar silver/frozen sparkling graphite/revention grey, and I was unable to get approval for that.
I want to get a color that won't be seen so much and I want a color that will pop, but still remain classy/civilish. I like dakar, hellrot, and some blues, but Im not a red blue or yellow person, they just wouldnt fit on a daily driven(by choice not necessity, have a truck) car for me.
And, if anyone has seen the black interior with red stiching, is there any stiching in the back seats, how bold is the stiching, it looks hardly noticable in pictures, and in that case not near worth 5k.
I love fox red extended but in older cars it does not seem to be holding up as well as black.
if you have them, post up any pics we always love pics.

Those colors are ok, I would rather wrap the car in one of those colors since it's more of a fad right now than anything.

Cyrax91 · 09-28-2011, 08:44 AM

I think if I were to buy a matte color it would be because of a special edition M3 like the matte black/frozen model. I dont think id paint or vinyl a regular M3 that way. Definitely a fad.

abehwang · 09-28-2011, 08:44 AM

dakar yellow and red interior O_O

Frozen Black for me since that's what I'm getting. However, I wasn't able to get the black interior with red stitching since that's only reserved for the 20 special editions. However, I would love the Frozen Grey with black/red stitching. Haven't seen one like that yet anywhere.

I have seen the Extended Black Novillo with red stitching in real life (forum member Bokke's car), and it looks incredible.

chris s · 09-28-2011, 09:15 AM

Contrast stitching is Sick in person....and well worth it. Frozen colors, as mentioned, imho are a fad that is not here to stay. Go with an indiv color like MCB... my .02

I really need to see his car.

askharjoon · 09-29-2011, 08:53 AM

I think when it came down to it, most popular color is boring old white. So I'd pick the mineral white on black. Not exciting, but shows the lines of the e92 the best.

Buschy · 10-26-2011, 07:45 AM

how about frozen grey with ext REd with grey stiching.

Richbot · 10-26-2011, 07:48 AM

Hellrot/Black with red stitching

+1 on Fox Red not aging as well as black. The CPO cars I was looking at made me want FR really bad but the black always looked better with similar mileage, so I got black. Most of the difference is in the bolsters and shoulder wings so maybe the FR/black combo is right for you

Buschy · 10-26-2011, 08:17 AM

or frozen silver with frozensilver interior(whatever that is).

Buschy · 11-10-2011, 08:25 AM

I think ill do boring old alpine white withe ext black and red stitching. oh well.

anyone know if there are stitches in the back seat area?

+1, give greater flexibility for the future, and it won't be a PITA to upkeep.
