Color Hierarchy

fortressmaximus · 03-30-2011, 12:46 PM

I may be of the minority here, but I actually like all of the standard colors on the m3. I have seen all in person, except mineral white.

If I had to pick colors that stand out a little bit more I would say silverstone, Melbourne, Interlagos, jerez, and alpine white.

That being said, I like them all!

I have AW, if I could do it again I'd go MR without a doubt

+1. They all look very nice in different settings and set ups.

I happen to think that the sedan and the coupe looks best with each of their own color choice.
eg. The coupe is probably best in AW and the sedan in SS
But what do I know...just my 2 cents...

I was actually gonna say the same. They look diff, I def like the silverstone on the sedan 100x better than on the coupe.

ps. When are we gonna incorporate individual colours. MCB ftw!

Sh!t, let's do this?! Just need a list of all Individual colors and we can start ranking them... Azurite Black ftw!

kmarei · 03-30-2011, 02:14 PM

i wish there were more colours on the M3
and by colours i mean non white/black/greys
yellow, orange, green etc etc
sick of white silver and black
i would have gone interlagos blue, but i can't stand that it looks purple in some cases.
if they had le mans blue when i bought mine i woud have gotten mine in it

Interlagos Blue
LeMans Blue
Silicon Graphite ('08s only unfortunately)
Melbourne Red (best with gunmetal wheels)
Jerez Black
Monte Carlo Blue
Space Grey

I would hold out for the above colours in order preference, and although I don't dislike any of the others, I would need a better deal on the car to but any of the colours I have not mentioned.

^This, especially since M3's don't come in colors like Burgandy (like M5's). Or, does it??

I think they actually look pretty good. I'd rock it. But this should be in the individual thread, right?

Oh my... Individual, indeed.

I would like Indianapolis Red M3. The Barbera is a little different, I think think I could rock it. Though the pics from the ebay add look pretty good but again dark pics to hide the true color

Seattle S65B40 · 03-30-2011, 03:49 PM

Nothing looks better in sunlight than Carbon Black!

Prince_of_Persia · 03-30-2011, 04:31 PM

I have AW and I dont change it with anything !!!!!

crackberry · 03-30-2011, 04:55 PM

1 silverstone

2 le mans blue
3 melborne red
4 mineral white
5 interlagos blue
6 jb
7 jet black
8 alpine white
9 space gray

i think SG is the absolute worst. its just a boring gray and u cant see any of the lines. also, the m3 comes in so many different shades of white and black.....disappointing
