Yeah I forgot about the metallic paint costing extra.
For me paint color isn't a choice, it's a destiny! When I decided to get a new car I told myself that I would not get another blue car. (I've never owned a car that wasn't blue) When I put my name on the list for an Evo X MR I told them that I wanted the dark gray color. However when I gave up on the perpetually delayed Evo and decided on the 135i instead somehow I ended up back to blue. I'm not sure what it is about blue, but for some reason I can't seem to buy a car that's any other color.
