I think that white is the best colour for seeing the shapes and lines of the cars. However, I hate white cars. The best looking colour in my opinion is the Sparkling Graphite. The Electric Red looks to orange for me, but the Imola Red is awesome(they should use it on the E90).

Titanium Silver. Never looks dirty and from further than 50 yards, the clear quarter of the tail lights disappear.

Darker looks better with the E90's lines. The crease along the side of the car looks oddly misshapen on the lighter colors. The darker colors mask the more Bangled styling elements better.

Hence mine is black.

I suppose some people might either be disappointed with theirs or own more than one. Others may believe that one color (Black) looks best but decided not to get it because they're tired of washing their last one. (See related thread).

I'm pretty happy with black, but then I would have liked about any color except for that Barrista.

So far the best pictures I've seen of the car are in white, with my Titan Silver comming in second, Artic looks incredible in person.

The best SG I've seen is in this video:

Is there a point to this thread? The poll results at present do not indicate that there is?

Even though I chose Alpine White and Arctic when purchasing, I voted for Jet Black. Nothing is as pretty as clean glossy black. Angle and light have no effect on it, and it's the one true classic.

That said, I think most every color looks great, which is an indication of a well designed body.

I think in print the Saphire Graphite looks amazing and was the color I went to buy, but upon seeing it in real life, I thought the silver showed off the lines of the car more clearly. I'm also not very good getting regular car washes and the silver looks great for 2-3 weeks if it doesn't rain. Funny...I was just thinking about that this weekend...that I absolutely love my TiAg and the way the car has nice shadows under the crisp lines.
