This is the exact picture that made me pass on the SGM. Just too much blue and red. Color (interior and exterior), wheel style, CF stuff, ect. will always be debated. Otherwise these cars would come in only one color...

for all colors, except cashmire...

Red??? Not red...no red flecks in it...lavender flecks...I agree with you on the Cashmere though and I am not j/k

The thing is I was over here in Iraq ordering the car through the internet sales manager and I wanted Crimson Red...I would have had to wait an extra 2 months...so he told me he had SGM....I looked at the SGM 1ers thread here and I was sold. Then when I finally saw it in person I was doubly sold on it.

Sorry...but I too see red. Maybe the seats pull it out, but especially under fluorescent lights in my garage...redness.

All the paint colors look good, but SMG is my favorite. Black is also hot when freshly waxed.

SGM FTW... Im so glad I got it before the discontinued it. The E92 M3 in SGM with OEM gunmetal 18's was way too hot as well.

Limited number of them and dirt is negligible if you just detail the wheels when they start getting dark. I'd like to know how many were produced before the switch to Space Gray................

Well there is at least 1 SGM vert. Its in my driveway!
