I don't like any other yellow since I saw Speed yellow on M3.

Santorini blue or Atlantis blue are also great colors.

Those yellows are looking pretty phenomenal.

Seeing all these awesome color options - it's times like this I wish I could afford to own an entire fleet of sports cars.

And lived in a warmer, sunnier climate.

Speed yellow is individual color for price of $6400.

I am sure you can get it done cheaper and have a good body shop in your area. If not I recommend iND's body shop. Anthony does a great job as we have seen on the 2 Atlantis blue M3s they did. I believe I also saw a Java green M3 in their lot one day.

To me, any of the blues work, I actually love the wrap on all 3 cars we have seen (the blue, the matt grey, and orange). Considering how good all 3 came out, I would prefer the wrap over the paint, because there will be areas you will not be able to reach and you'll see the white. Assuming you are as anal as me, and the near perfectionist it seems you are, consider if that is something you can live with. If you go with paint, and they remove the windshields (even tho most shops won't), perhaps perfect time for the real CF Revo roof.

PS: I think a lot of people will vote for blue partly because of the psychological factor of lusting after something that was not given to you/you couldn't have. Imagine if we had blue among the three factory options (along with VO an BSM) but not white. I can certainly bet you would have considered a white in the above options. (as an example, the B7 RS4 sold in the US did not come in white, and you had to pay $3K for Exclusive paint option, and all you got was the same non-metallic color as sold on every bland A4, and there were a good amount of people that paid for that!) It's in our nature to want something we can't have
Im sorry I forgot to mention that I will be doing a CF roof


Than definitely go with ORange!
