Mineral!!

Hisam135i · 10-27-2011, 04:46 PM

Depends what's the interior? I'd do space grey

Syndicategt · 10-27-2011, 04:49 PM

AW on Coral Red with Aluminum trim FTW

- Mineral looks to pearlescent and I'm not a fan IMHO
- SG 2nd - but too common among other cars on the road

*The CF roof will stand out more on the whites .... I saw a Mineral at the dealer and it was hot with that roof and contrast!

space gray hands down, especially if he plans to blackout kidneys, side gills, and other stuff. The gray + black goes together I think better than any color. I actually think black + white is too much contrast, and the CF roof while standing out more on white, looks better against the gray IMO

AW on Coral Red. I'm not biased like most of responses so far.

Dark_Knight_335 · 10-27-2011, 06:33 PM

Space grey, then vinyl it in FROZEN GREY!!!
I am a bit partial to the space grey ;-)

Wild Squid · 10-27-2011, 07:00 PM

None of the above. Only way to go on M3 is Laguna Seca Blue, and pay extra $5k for it!!!

guribeng1 · 10-27-2011, 07:00 PM

What do you guys think about Silverstone?
