Cant decide!!
i cant decide what color to get it in.
i was looking into AW/Coral but then is a very common color. But then now it came down to BSM/Cora, Crimson/Coral, SGM/Coral i like red but would it look weird coral and red? i kinda want SGM but when your really looking at it is nice but when you just kinda look at it, it just looks like a normal car. And finally i really like BSM and Coral look but its annoying cause black gets dirty instantly and it is a common color car but still looks sharp. I also plan on getting the Performance rims so if any one can throw some pictures up of these colors with those rims to try and change my mind that'd be great :biggrin: thanks for looking |

me too
i know what you mean about having trouble picking a color. not too many to choose from. in the end, my decided for me (had to get her blessing on the car somehow) that BLACK METALLIC is the way to go because of it's sharp, classy, manly look. as for the interior, i'm going with black leatherette and alpine silver aluminum trim. my sales advisor suggested it's much easier to keep looking clean than jet black. i think he's right. still, my preference was SPARKLING GRAPHITE. my wife thinks it's boring, but i think it always looks great. good luck!

Alpine white is very popular on this forum but not on the dealer lots. Go to Cars.com, not many Alpine white cars available. I would say at least 50% are black. The other 50% are a mix. And Alpine is the least. I have a black car now and love how it looks 1% of the time when its clean. Even though I clean it often, it gets dusty very quick. I suggest staying with Alpine/Coral. Thats what I will get IF I buy a 135i. Just my 2 cents. I think the best sporty colors for the 135i are Alpine, Black and Silver.

White is the least poplar 135i being built. Go checkout Cars.com. 650 135i's in the USA and about 30 are Alpine. |

I went with the SGM because black is a real bitch to take care of. If I had the time to wash the car every 3-5 days I'd get it without a doubt.
Getting black on black with a 30-40% tint and the shadowline grills. The crimson red is certainly a standout color! I strayed away from it onyl because it's a porcelain-flat paint and I had a Prelude back in the day in almost the exact color. I was pulled over amost monthly in NJ. |
