black is a beautiful color, especially in the M3...but to me, it's not worth the added efforts required to KEEP it that way. I owned a cosmos black e36 M3 many years ago....and while I loved it...the amount of time i spent obsessing over it was ridiculous. Swirls, small marks, little scratches...unreal. I swore at that point, I would never own another black car after that one. I've since gone to the opposite extreme with Alpine White. I've owned an e46 M3, a 996TT and now the e92 M3....all in white...and I wouldnt have it any other way. I contemplated Interlagos and I would have done it, but a deal on Alpine came along that I couldn't pass up.

It's a matter of preference and how anal you plan to be with the car. If the car is not garaged nightly, don't even think about it...that's sure to be hell. If you simply don't care about swirls and small blemishes in the paint, then maybe it'll be alright for you.
