Please help with M3 Color Options.. Space Gray on Red or White on Red/Bamboo?

M3M3CAR · 04-09-2010, 11:40 PM

Guys I'm going to the dealer to pickup a car this week.. However I'm stuck on stupid trying to figure out which color combination to get..

I'm in love with both the Space Gray on Red and White on Red or Bamboo..

My concern with the white is that when dirty it will be too noticeable and require too much cleaning and too often.

Which one do you guys recommend?

So you already have an 2010 M3, but you are getting a 2nd one?

White on Red is the best

Personally for the m3, my first choice would be Jzb on fox red. 2nd would be AW on fox red. So go with AW!
Space grey is also very nice. I have it on my z4. Looks great at night.

IMHO, get what you want, what moves you the most.

The other day I was at a dealer and saw for the first time an Alpine White on Bamboo Beige E92M3. The combo looked okay. Individually, I think AW looks terrific, and the bamboo beige, which is to my eyes a light-khaki, oozes class, but something seemed to be missing with the AW+BB combo.

SG on FR is, again IMHO, an unbeatable combo for space grey although SG on black looks every bit as good IMO.

T89 mentioned JzB+FR which looks amazing. JzB+BB also looks amazing, IMO.

Whatever you opt to get, enjoy; which I'm certain that you will.

Anything on fox red... I was nervous about the interior until I saw it in person and it is amazing. Space grey or AW (whichever YOU like better) as long as it's FR inside!

AMOCHOSTO · 04-10-2010, 11:20 AM

Space Grey!

M3M3CAR · 04-10-2010, 01:00 PM

Guys I'm going with the SG on RF but my only complaint about the car I'm getting is no PDC .. The car is fully loaded and they didn't add PDC !?!?! WTF?

Anybody know how to add this option to the car and have it integrated into the NAV? ?

Alpin3_F30 · 04-11-2010, 05:58 AM

white on red no doubt about it.

white stands out

and red looks amazing inside a white car. go for it and dont be lazy

and wash the car often to keep it looking amazing

I think space grey with black is a combination you will continue to like over a long period of time. Especially with carbon leather trim.

I became tired of the silver with red interior combination on my Porsche after about a year. I wished I had selected a black interior. Obviously color is a very personal choice, but I wanted to share my own experience.

I had the opposite experience. I found my all black interior on my last few cars to become so drab and boring after a while I wanted something else. I don't think I would like red in extended form... just too much. But red, non-extended, with the carbon fiber trim is both classy and visually interesting IMO. But, for some, maybe too much.

Forget PDC...I didn't order it...damn thing beeps every time I started my other BMWs in the garage. Car is small and has great visibility...you'll have no problem parking it without PDC.

SG on FR are very sexy

GewoW · 04-11-2010, 06:38 PM

I think SG on FR will look sick...especially with a tint. IDK is seems like a more aggressive color.

you can have my PDC! I can park just fine without it.
