Hello all - great forum and tons of valuable insight on all things 1M so kudos to everyone for posting!

I have my eye set on a 1M being my next "fun car" and wanted to get feedback on color from some 1M owners. I grew up in a black car family and although I fell in love with the Silver Grey Metallic on my E86 M over time, historically black always wins out as the color of choice - it's timeless. So for those VO drivers - did you have any initial thoughts that it's a bit too flashy and did it take time for the color to grow on you too? Any comments from BSM guys who were in the same situation are also appreciated.

Of course I could hold out for a BSM 1M with low mileage to come on the market but there are already a few nice CPO VO cars out there waiting for a caring new owner - hence my dilemma.

Cheers and look forward to hearing your feedback.
