Help Me Choose My Color Combo- Need Some Feedback

M3ryder55 · 03-26-2010, 03:33 AM

Hey Guys,

This is going to be my 3rd post on here. If all goes well I should have my 2011 M3 ordered by next week, possibly the week after at latest. I'm in the process of selling my IS350 on ebay and am hoping I can get around what I'm looking for it. See Link-

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lexus...spagenameZWDVW

In the meantime, I've pretty much figured out every package I want. However I'm having a really hard time on deciding with what color combo I want to go with.

Everyday I seem to be liking a different color. However I think that they rank at-
1. Alpine White on Red (Major drawback..my brother in a different state has the exact combo)
2. Melborne Red on Red/Black (possible drawback.. i don't know if I can do red again, although I think Melborne red looks amazing)
3. Metallic Grey on Red (caught my eye of late. and that combo imo is classy)

I plan on keeping the E92 M3 for a very long time. Being able to own an M3 was a dream for me. And now that it's coming true I want to make sure I get what I want.

What do you guys think?

If you intend to keep it for a while maybe you should consider Individual Paint and Leather.

I think Silver Grey on Rust Brown Individual with Piano Black Trim would be amazing!!!!

Whatever u do dont get white on red

ASGM3 · 03-26-2010, 03:59 AM

karussell · 03-26-2010, 04:40 AM

i'm waiting for someone to order a Sterling Grey / Fox Red M3. miss that color and its stunning in any light. go for that if you can get it.

I was thinking the same. Maybe its the fact that the car is RHD, so he's further away (and therefore smaller) than your brain thinks he should be. Either way, nice ride and interesting photo.

Maybe he IS a little dude, and "compensating" with the M

I was thinking the exact same thing! Either that's the biggest M3 in the world or the dude is 4 feet tall LOL

+1000000 That thing looks bigger than a Phantom!!!

corrupt23jj · 03-26-2010, 02:03 PM

The image is a bit stretched/warped. Look at the wheels.

richardg · 03-26-2010, 02:08 PM

I haven't seen this combo but I personally really want space grey with bamboo beige and CF leather trim. Something in my head says this would look amazing

IE#02 · 03-26-2010, 06:33 PM

AW / Black, looks best and better resale.

John Tanglewood · 03-26-2010, 06:36 PM

I like Gray/Red.

But +1 to the above post, if you get black, resale may be higher.

You going with CF roof or Sunroof?

Kdawgm3 · 03-26-2010, 08:18 PM

I have SG/black. If I had to do it over I'd go SG/red

Dieselino · 03-26-2010, 09:10 PM

Space grey fox red

kloh · 03-26-2010, 10:06 PM

Another vote for SG/FR. It's what I got and I love it. Fantastic combo.

I also had that thought........

Nawaaz · 03-26-2010, 10:32 PM

Out of all three of your choices, I pick Melbourne Red on Black.

I think that looks the most aggressive & 'racy'.

klammer · 03-26-2010, 10:34 PM

thats what im waiting for, sp grey fox ext. e90. think its great combo. s/b here end of apr...
