Best looking color on E82

sprp85 · 05-01-2018, 09:38 PM

There is a reason why the finest examples of 1s are alpine white.....

Missing from the list:

• Carbon Black Metallic
• Crimson Red
• Monaco Blue Metallic
• Sedona Red
• Sparkling Graphite Metallic

Any more or is that it?

Edit: add Marrakesh Brown Metallic.

OMG, I wanted the brown soooooo bad!

YearOneOne · 05-02-2018, 05:28 AM

Marrakesh gets me all hot and bothered

Personally i think all colours good really good on the E82 (factory colours not the special green or yellow individual).

Saw some really amazing looking Reds and Maroons.

I am just a fan of LeMans Blue Metallic, or any Blue metallic colour on cars though.

minirips2 · 05-02-2018, 06:35 AM

Valencia Orange looks SO awesome on a 1M

I’m biased:

That's gorgeous!

I voted for my favorites, but a few important tones are missing from the pole as others have mentioned.

I'm a big fan of the different blue colors offered on the E82, but at the end of the day I went with Space Grey, twice. I'm a big fan of Sparkling Graphite Metallic, but it's specific to early models and I wanted an N55 with DCT. I also like Carbon Black and Mineral Grey quite a bit, but they're both a bit too dark (as with the Blue colors) and would drive me crazy in relation to keeping the car clean. Space Grey is the perfect balance in my eyes.

Since Interlagos was shamefully not offered on the E82, its certainly between Deep Sea Blue and Lemans Blue for me. I think DSB might win since it really changes color nicely.

Coming from a Jet Black owner.

Same here, plus I have the vert. And even though I got the moonlight top, which is a little less black, it's still closer to black than gray; so for me, that eliminated the blue exterior options. Plus, I don't want a black exterior on a summertime car.

swagon · 05-02-2018, 10:55 AM

Depends on the interior as well tho. Black or silver are boring, but add a bright interior and it's a different thing

As a dood with deep sea blue, I'd vote for Mineral White, TiAg and Le Mans. White and silver with coral red, Le mans with oyster

Mine is Space Grey Metallic w/ Alaska Grey interior. It's the only Alaska Gray leather one I've seen. I wonder how rare it is?
