^^^ +100

Chris, i dont think that grey will do you car any justice. It doesnt pop at all and gives that Beemer ZERO personality.

Thanks for the comments/feedback guys/gal I appreciate it.

When the time comes (saving up for it) I may not be brave enough to pull the trigger but I do want to consider other color options. I just keep mulling over the fact that if I go white again, even if it is a whiter white, is that really a change? I have to admit, seeing Veronica's (I ride G) car next to mine makes mine look yellow compared to hers lol so I see what everyone saying go with a different white is saying...I really do love white cars, always have.

Is this the color you're talking about? Yeah, not so hot.

They do have a dolphin gray but the TT gray I was talking about is called aviator gray.



I love the Berylium color but it's been done already. How about a Ivory Pearl?

Chris, when I did color change I seriously considered blue... I did a bunch of research (internet and in person) to find some cool/unique shades of blue... I like the idea of OEM blue (for touch up and repair) - PM me if you want some of the colors I considered (I have color codes for some of them).

As for Grey – check out GMs Cyber Metallic Grey – they can be found of the new Camero and the Z06 Corvette – it’s a little dark, but has very faint blue metallic and looks very cool – I almost did that color.

I definately don't want a dark color. I have alot of time to think about this so we'll see what I end up with.

the grey I mentioned will probably be too dark then, but the blues wont...

No one has done a yellow sedan (that I'm aware of)... however, I think theres a reason for that

There is a place I found that will do true black chrome! But its 20K-25K for the whole car - they did chrome flames on an MTV Pimp My Ride car... I wish I had the ballz to spend 25K on a paint job, I would love a black chrome car!

Chris, if your going to go with a blue, why not Interlagos Blue from the e46 m3 comp package??? It's a SICK shade of blue. Here is a pic for reference




Also, if I ever did a color change to my g, I would have went with that z06 vette burnt orange. I think that would look SICK on a g with black accents and everything.

Thanks Chris, thanks Steve.

Those are some nice colors but I do think I'd like to stay on the lighter side of things. I like that I can hide swirls unlike other dark colors

Yeah Steve...thats why I posted this now. To get feedback and start the long crazy process lol
