SSII - cool or not?

[redline9001]

Not a fan of color but who cares what anyone thinks.... Get the car you want

I had a silver Evo once. That was cool... but that was an Evo.



For an M3.. it's black or white baby!! If I didn't have jet black.. I would most definitely have white!

WHITE FTW! (and i'm not a white car guy either.. or at least I thought I wasn't until I saw the white ///M3)

silver with black interior is quite possibly the most resellable color combo in automotive history (other than Model T black).

there's a reason why like half of all BMW dealer inventory is specced in silver on black

Depends on the shade, and silver hides both dirt and scratches very well.

I am personally not a huge fan of Silverstone, but it looks decent with the Silverstone interior and charcoal 18" wheels. Would prefer a more pure silver as opposed to the slight blue tint with Silverstone.

Ssii not bad in those pics but I prefer it on e36. Silver is a must for that model

[gblansten]

I'm not a fan of SSII and quite honestly I question the manhood of a guy who would get this chick color. Here is a pic of my car.

I think it looks good with a few mods.


I'd definitely get it.

[MUFCbmwbear]

Good sth park episode, get that sweet nar nar!
Yes, SSII is awesome imo.

[DDS2015]

Silverstone is my favourite colour on the M3. I'm also 23 if that clears up any issues of it being an old man's colour.

[///M Ryder]

Well I don't know about the old man comment......but I will say a "Grown Azz Man" can rock it and rock it well. SSII-------> FTMFW .....................Phil

SSII is the best color to bring out the distinctive lines of the M3 and it always looks good. So good that despite 6 hours of washing and detailing, I can't tell any difference from before when looking at the car from a few feet away. Miss the dazzling look my black 335i had after each wash.

[glockperfect]

I dig it. There is an e93 in my area in SS and it always looks sharp when I see it.

[WRXXX]

Hate to say it but I find SSII a bit feminine and plain for a ///M. There I said it. Only girly men pick SSII

But seriously, as long as u like it who cares.

[BeamingE39]

I love SSI, not a fan of SSII. Too light/feminine/soft for me. I recommend Interlagos Blue instead. M Exclusive, and very, very nice.

[luis_m3]

I've seen one around here... And don't like it. My opinion anyways...

[fortressmaximus]

The first two comments I get from people are either "nice wheels" or "amazing color."
The fact that this color changes based on lighting makes it hard to get bored of. I had my car parked next to an alpine white m3 last week and an overwhelming number of people commented that SSII was striking--and in a great way.
The color really stands out nicely in bright sun and looks like traditional silver at night. The only time it doesn't look spectacular is when it's very overcast.

[PutterMcGavin]

Personally I don't mind SSII but as others have said (to most people) it is considered somewhat common. I prefer SG as it has much more "range" if you will going from light gray, to dark gray and even matte looking at certain angles...

I will agree that both look better IMO than AW. Just more dynamic.

[JohnnyRoaster]

I like SSII and it was my second choice. I like how it changes under different lights. I don't think there would be any issues with resale as silver on black is extremely popular.

The one thing I was worried about was how safe silver cars are on the road. Most studies suggest that black and red are less visible than silver for car colors. I used to have a silver GTI and people would pull out in front of me all the time. Granted that was before DRLs were standard.

[Dustybones]

SSii is a great unique colour for the M3, every time I look at my car I just see that awesome colour that shows the subtle lines and contrasts the carbon roof perfectly. I have an anthracite finish on my wheels which just finishes it all off.

SSii is a winning colour

Good luck and enjoy your car. Cheers

[py0413]

This color would be my first choice if it was available back in when I was making a purchase. I needed up with black/black and it was indeed the most difficult thing to maintain a good look.

[jmgM3]

I love my Jerez... when it's clean!
SSII is the best color for everyday enjoyment of this car. It was my first choice until I fell in-love with a clean Jerez Blk sitting inside the dealership.
SSII always looks good and scratches and spider webs don't show nearly as much. Go for it!

[lorinzo]

If you like it, get it!
