Basically, do you still feel the same about the colour choice after a period of time and do you have the same excitement etc?
If I buy with my heart it will be CR but my head says perhaps alpine white is more practical and the “safe” colour you can not go wrong with.

I went from TiAg, to Sap. Black, to Alpine White, to CR.... I like my CR but Alpine is still my favorite by far. The CR is not as hard as black to maintain, but swirls do show up whereas AW was the easiest color to maintain. My next car will be white, I miss it. The Hellrot on the e36s stands the test of time, a little hard w/ the 1er to know it's longevity, but if it is anything like the Hellrot it is going to be very hard to get it to fade. My brother's 95 hellrot looks as good as my 09 CR.
