Haha, I used to play WoW, sucked up way too much of my time.

Good thing about EVE is being able to queue skills up to train even when you're not logged into the game. Took away the grinding aspect that a lot of other MMO's suffer from. Was perfect for me since I don't get a lot of time to play games anymore. :P

Bot & Sell.

Best supplementary income in the world.

Been doing it for about 2 years now - a good 500USD a month. Never play the game, just reek cash off it.

White BMWs aren't popular in my neck of the woods but they aren't exactly common in any colour around here either. Mostly I see blacks, greys, blues and silvers about the place including superseded models. I would definitely say that for the current shapes white is far more common than previous models. I chose white as I thought it emphasised the overall creases and shape of the car the best. For BMWs in general though I don't think white will ever be particularly popular as it is a prestige brand and most would prefer a prestige colour other than white I'm sure. Considering the vast majority of new BMWs sold are from dealer stock it's really the dealer that determines what colours are popular and what colours aren't. The fact that they can make an easy tidy profit margin on metallic paint that probably costs them a negligible amount more to do also doesn't help the cause for white being a popular choice...much the same argument for manual transmissions IMHO as well.

White is the new Black

FJP135i · 05-12-2010, 09:18 AM

I know exactly what you mean.. I too was sure I would get black.. then I saw my car... it was sitting right next to a black one and it confirmed it for me... So I now have an AW 135i.... and I still can't believe I bought a white car... but I love it! I think 135i s look great in any colour.. but its a personal choice.. for me it was AW.... any other car I would have got in blue or black.
I think the AW shows the lines of the car much better.. and as others have said it is easy to maintain clean. looks amazing under lights at night too..

Hi Zoperd,
keep an eye down pako, mine is a 3 week old 125 Alpine white vert M sport with coral red.
Much easier to live with than black.
Been there with another blackvehicle, great for 2 seconds after you've washed it.
I hadn't thought white was too popular until I had ordered and then found this forum, seems like white has been the new black for some time...

YES!!! I was just thinking of this epic story the other day.

Hmm, don't know whether this is politically correct, but during a visit to Europe a couple of years ago, I was told by a local that white BMW's and Mercedes were most often driven by migrants from the Balkans and Turkey (after installing skirts and spoilers, of course).

Totti saw my car in BMW when he decide on colour and he chose my combination.

Copycat

. just kidding.

My last 4 cars are 3 whites and one black (because I could not get my RX-8 in white when I brought it). I have 2 white push bikes too.

Totti's car has been the reason i'm trying to source some stripes

My last Subaru was a whitey as well, prior to that a red Subaru.
