Lightbulb What Color Combination should I get..

At first the choice was obvious, Alpine white on Fox Red interior with carbon top. But as I get closer to the order date, I am starting to have second thoughts. I've seen way to many nice M3s, its so hard to decide. I want to hear you guy's opinions!

2012 E92:
1. Alpine White on Fox Red (non extended)
2. Mineral White on Fox Red
3. Jet black on Fox Red
4. Jarez black on Fox Red
5. LeMans Blue on black.

I must be the only person here who thinks fox red is as ugly as the terra cotta pots my mom planted geraniums in when I was a kid... Black or dark brown only please.

AW & FR looks good ... you need to see it in person perhaps you have ... oh well to each his own we cannot all have the same taste ... life would be so boring

All my other cars had black leather interior I wanted something different this time around ... perhaps my next one will be amber or black interior

I say AW and FR. Or JB and FR. I love jet black, but hard to keep clean. I have an AW M3 and still love it.

I almost ordered MW/FR but decided on AW/FR. Although for this poll I chose the LeMans Blue with black combo since I think the blue is one of the more rare colors out there on the road.

I'm with the guys who don't care for FR. If you do go FR, just don't put it on Jerez Black. You'll have a blue car with red interior. I would vote for Jet Black if FR is your preferred interior. Detailing is fun, and nothing looks better than a freshly detailed Jet Black M3. AW is too common. MW reminds me of those Mary Kay cars--nice color, but something feminine about it.

LB on black is my vote.

The black exteriors will have you in for a whole lot of upkeep, so you may want to factor that in. Le Mans Blue on black is my combination, I barely looked at any other combination -- Fox Red was tempting but decided I wouldn't like it long-term and it wouldn't go with Le Mans Blue, which was more important to me. I find Le Mans on black to be very sporty yet still classy rather than loud. Fyi I chose to get the moonroof with Le Mans because I didn't like the way CF looked with that color -- I also like moonroofs and learned afterward that you get less cabin noise with a steel roof than CF anyway.
