125i BEST COLOUR

Franheff · 01-18-2011, 09:41 PM

HI,

I JUST BOUGHT MY NEW 125i. I BOUGHT IT IN BLACK, BUT STILL CAN CHANGE IT FOR A WHITE ONE.

MY QUESTION IS: BLACK OR WHITE?

THANKS, I APPRECIATE IT.

Warm climate get white. Black is great and how much time do you want to spend keeping it looking sharp? Be a little practical.

Black has a nice look to it, however the drawbacks are hotter seats especially black on black, and harder to keep clean.

White is a nice color (keeps car cooler relatively speaking) and stays clean longer.

Its all personal preference.

jpd,

Here we have warm climate in summer, but the rest of the year is fine, is not like Miami hot all year round.

Why do you say how much time I want to spend for it to look sharp?? The black one requires more maintenance? You mean re-painting or just washing it?

thanks

Keeping it clean - dirt shows up a LOT more and a LOT earlier on any dark coloured vehicle than a lighter one.

Thats very true, it does but if you're prepared to put in a little time and effort and keep on top of the waxing etc then it looks AMAZING, especially in the sun.

With white you dont get decent reflections and depth to the paint. With black you most certainly do. I like cleaning cars so Im a 100% black man but if youre not into it go white.

I had white e90, I bought my 128i black, if I get another chance, I will go with white. I miss white.

Go with the black and then complain about it for the time you own the car. Threads like this should be reserved for drunken banter.
