Don't do AW
Everybody and his brother will be driving AW 1-series. White is the new Titanium Silver. So, the logical thing to do is to go with Titanium Silver since most of the silver guys will be driving AW's.
Seriously, silver is a great BMW color and it is by far the easiest BMW color to care for and keep looking good. However, if you go with a leather interior I'd go Terra or Coral Red. If leatherette go with black. Black cars are a royal pain in the ass. AW ones are going to be a dime-a-dozen and will elicit ho-hum looks after the 1-series newness wears off. |

IMO..Montego or AW for a sportier look, Ti for simple good looks and easy maintenance, SGM or Black for a classier look. I have never been a red car fan. So, it really depends on your tastes.
I went with Montego, cause with the black shadowline, tinted windows and hyperblack CSL wheels, it will look very sporty. |

My preference is for Montego because I think it is not as common as some of the other choices and I think since it is a lighter blue it will still have a sporty look to it. Like Templedogg said above, black is more for the classy cars as opposed to sporty, and silver and AW are going to be very common.

Well I have to say Sedona Red - cos that is what colour mine will be :-)
But more scientifically, go for a colour that is totally differnet from your currrent car.....makes for a more diverse life. |

Sparkling Graphite Metallic is the fastest color.

Definitely stay away from the AW... Who would want that. And the horror of AW with Coral Red. Definitely go Black or SGM

I'd go for either JB or CR. Getting screwed for the metallic premium is against my religion. AW will be popular in the warmer places. We don't see it too much in Canada...
For the metallics, SGM is cool, especially with the red leather.

It looked really nice in Jet Black at the Boston auto show - really brought the lines together into a nice package. You also save $450 on metallic paint that you can spend on CA or seated heats or whatever you like.

Seriously, everyone will have a different opinion. That is why the car comes in a variety of colors. Get whatever YOU like, and please don't ask again :-) p.s. Get AW |

I have to see how they all look in person but I really like montego blue in the pics. But if I chicken out of getting an unusual color I can go with the always sexy black.
