Le Mans Blue or Space Gray?
okay, E90 sedan, what would you guys pick, Le Mans Blue (all I have seen is pictures, haven't found one in Chicago to look at in person) with black leather or Space Gray with Red Leather? I figure the gray can get boring but red leather should be a great combo and make it more distinct, Blue won't get as boring but I will have a boring black interior (don't like the beige or gray).

I say Space Gray because it's pretty close to Silver Gray, the color of the CSL (as well as Jet Black). I think the color makes the car look more aggressive for some reason.
EDIT: This reinforces my opinion Quote:

How would you guys who have seen LMB describe it compared to other cars blues? I mean is it more electric or a dull blue? I have seen the new Land Rover LR2 electric blue which I thought I loved at first but then got to be too much after a while (had it as a loaner for a day), and today I just saw the new WRX bright blue and liked it. Pictures never show how these cars really look. |

I've seen both that you list, and both look good IMHO.
However, last month while passing through Baton Rouge, LA, I saw a Jerez Black / Bamboo Beige sedan. If I were going to get a sedan rather than a coupe, that combo would be the ticket for me. Having said that, I'm probably a little less prejudiced against the relatively "neediness" of black paint that many regard as "high maintenance"; which it is: To me, I can't imagine Jerez Black being any more difficult than black sapphire metallic paint on my wife's ride. |

I say do Le Mans Blue just because it's a rarer color. But either one looks good. You really can't go wrong with any of the color combos offered on the M3.

I voted LeMans/Black, but Space Grey/FR was a CLOSE second to my Interlagos. I could barely make the call, and if the lighting were different on order day it probably would have been SG for me.

Lemans blue is much more of a younger, vibrant color.
Space Gray is more serious. It has that expensive, mature look to it I guess. For me, I chose IB. It's a very nice color with a whole lot of emotion in it. |

This my same issue...
I love Le Mans blue and I love the Red Interior....cant do Le Mans + Red as I dont want to look like Superman. So I have to decide if I want the Interior I love (Red) on exterior I am ok with (Gray) or Exterior I love (Le Mans) with Interior I am ok with (Black).

Previously had Space Gray and colour didn't really change when clean vs. dirty and IMHO didn't have the wow factor after a good detail. Wheras LMB after some TLC looks AMAZING and like new every time! |
