AW or IB?

You mean for the E92 M3 "Concept"? That was more like a frozen silver color, and it had black leather interior with more CF bits that didn't make it to the production car.

Perhaps I was incorrect! Though it was used for marketing. Regardless, this is the sexiest I have seen Silver photographed.

I am sure this is not silver , it is FR. Just look at the red stripes on the side of the road. They look silver / gray in the black and white pic.

+1

I have the same combo and love it.

I have IB and Silver Novillo. I DO NOT regret that color combo at all. IB looks great in real life. LMB looks good, but IB is stricktly for Ms and you can get LMB in any 3 series. So LMB is not that special. But everybody will have a different opinion and taste. So I would go with the color that you really like and will be happy with. Just my .02 cents.

AW over Silver Novillo no doubt. Don't get me wrong, I like IB alot, but it's just not as nice as AW. Which IMO is the best looking color for the M3

SG+Aluminum+Speed Cloth= FTW!

AW or LMB, go see both, decide.

Silver interior = light blue in real life, guaranteed to sit on lot for 6 months. Don't do it. IB, Silver look great in pictures, inverse in real life.

My original plan was to order either LB or SG but one day an IB M3 passed by in traffic and my wife and I exclaimed "what was that?!". Anything but dull, and I LOVE the way the color shifts between purple and bright blue. I ordered my car that night and after nearly a year, I can't take my eyes off it. Stunning color in every lighting condition.

My previous 325i had a gray interior which was lighter than the Silver Novillo. When I saw Silver Novillo in person I was hooked. It's darker than my previous interior and while it's a cool color tone, I don't see blue in it at all. Just today I took a colleague to a meeting and upon returning she asked how I could ever leave the car. She even asked if she could spend the rest of the afternoon working from my car.

Get the IB!

Gotta say the IB with BB interior. Silver is similar to the walls of an insane asylum. To each his own though!

I've never been to an insane asylum but I might consider spending time in one if it were decked out in Silver Novillo leather.

Forgot to mention that I have Silver Novillo with carbon leather. Fantastic combo in my humble opinion.
