Have u got an Xbox with the 1M on. If not get one and have a play with the palette on there. It's close to photo quality.

My vote is Orange or lime green!

With your mods including the coming CF roof in mind I voted for your actual color AW. You got to stop at some point too, a few of us might be getting intimidated a bit

dark blue or gun metal

Robcut1 · 03-04-2012, 10:24 AM

If you are not happy with the way it is now, I do not think changing the color will provide a long term solution. You will possibly end up unhappy again at some point in the not to distant future, and then repaint, or try to sell a car which would be considered "unpure". If you want to "play", do a wrap. Otherwise, keep it the way you have it for a few months to let things settle a bit. Before painting, I would probably find a different car if I needed a different color and the wrap wasn't sufficient.
Just my 2 cents.

This sort of reminds me of those who are addicted to cosmetic/plastic surgery. Didn't Michael Jackson look far better with "less"? Leave the car as it now, love the white and it is not overdone (yet).....well except for the spoiler!

Papethova · 03-04-2012, 10:49 AM

As everyone has said the car does look great as it is. That doesnt mean changing the color will make it look worse. This is not like adding another wing. You can even have it wrapped for a few weeks to see if you like the color.

1SerieStud · 03-04-2012, 11:34 AM

I think the poll results speak for themselves. Drive it more and worry less about how it looks...we all agree it looks amazing!

nachob · 03-04-2012, 12:10 PM

Red is nice but there are already Red 135i. Dakar yellow, no likey personally. Laguna Blue...there are no 128i or 135i and it is a cool color. Let me know if you do it, where you do it and how much. My personal favorite color is Interlagos Blue and have been considering it.

I think Le Mans blue is very nice but more on the "pretty" side than "cool/aggressive" like the LS Blue and Interlagos Blue. If you leave it alone, the car looks awesome already and no one will confuse it for someone else's 1M.

2 cents.

IMO, if you are going for a different color, make it something REALLY different and bold. Blues/Red/Yellows are played out. Think along the lines of something like...

Here is what she looks like currently (For those that don't already know)

I see a 1M and I want to paint it black

No colors anymore I want it to turn black ...

Don't resist. You know you wanna

Hmmm. All the blues are looking so good.

If going with the Lambo color pallet, the Glut Orange would look better IMO. I think Orange Pearl Mica would be too close to a VO color (similar to the render below someone called 'tangerine').

I absolutely love my car but there really are a lot of things it should have came with from the factory, especially considering what they do for every other ///M car......
