Either AW or SMG seems to be the most popular 1 color.

I thought most people got white because they're lazy and it's the easiest color to keep clean.

You got it! Black is a great color but so hard to keep clean, plus the white looks great and it doesn't cost $500 extra.

I would respond with something witty, but I'm too lazy to put any thought into it :wink:

PS. You know you're jealous of our easy clean paint!

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.

I said no white because in FL its a PITA to keep clean when the pollen starts flying and the wife said no black because the last cars we both owned were black and even worse to keep clean. Ordered Sedona sight unseen and, for us, couldn't have been a better choice. Some love it, some hate it, but who cares...it's not their car.

Personally, I like all the color choices on this car. A couple more than others, but still all look at least decent.

Everyone has a different look, style, aura. Alot of us apire to make cosmedic changes so we keep the color of the car in mind. The aw 1er is the only other car i could consider based on cosmedic changes. Furture and present cosmedic changes swayed my decision. AW 1er look great with CF parts i love that contrast dont get me wrong. But For me when that sun hits that blk shapphire and it sparkels with the contrast of Coral Boston interior the decision was easy. Once you go black you never go back also CF parts looks impressive. I just think blk shappire 1er looks incredible when the sun hits it. A new AW 1er reminds me of a untapped virgin.

White is just okay for me. My old AWD DSM was white and I had that car for almost 5 years, so I'm a little over that color. I think it'll be JB when I order my 135. Just depends on what you're feelin at the time I suppose.
