I would say black is most popular, then white not far behind.

Hey Zo,
Keep an eye out next weekend as there definately will be a AW 135i Coupe driving around. Probably will be around The Edge or Burger Inc in Newtown depending on what we feel like eating. But I will be driving so keep an eye out. |

Hey Zoperd & welcome to the forums!
AW tends to be the choice here in Sydney. However, there are an increasing number of Blacks going around. I personally really enjoy the AW; you'll find that the cars tend to put out a LOT of brake dust. When i mean a lot, i mean HEAPS - and that ends up all over your wheels and the rear of the car very quickly. As we all know, black is very hard to keep clean and appear clean. So unless you're a cleaning fanatic, i'd suggest AW, just because they look utterly beautiful at night, day, whenever |

I see a lot of black bmw's around my area. Quote:
Keeping the car clean is one reason I want a lighter colour, I have a sparkling graphite 320i atm and it's difficult to keep clean, even though I work next to a car wash, haha. Thanks a lot for the replies so far, really helping the decision! |

Over here in the west, if you were to believe the BMW Car Club WA meets, all 135i's are Le Mans Blue!

White is popular with the same people that thought wearing a white tux to the school formal was a good idea...

AW/Black interior here. All my previous cars have been black and they are real PITA to keep clean. When black is clean it does look the best imho. I chose the 135i in AW because I really like how the carbon accents stand out so if you plan on doing carbon fiber diffuser etc, I think it will look most noticeable on AW. I think the new M3 looks fantastic in AW and it's an easy way to save 2k on metallic paint as an option. Also, AW is pretty hard to keep clean but it's so much easier than black. Of course, at the end of the day I'm biased because I love my 1er!

Welcome to the forums mate.
I'd go getting a black car up in Darwin was one of the worst decisions I made, it's a nightmare to keep clean and shows up all defects. I get mine detailed every 2 weeks and it's still mostly covered in dust and bugs! I had a Le Mans Blue 525i in Perth and that was much easier to keep clean, but Perth probably had a lot to do with. Next car is going to be White or Space Grey! |

My first car was Black which is why I'm tending to lean towards not getting another black car. I love the colour, but I don't have the time to wash it multiple times a week. Having said that, I haven't completely ruled out getting it in black though. :P Quote:

Probably one of the nicest photos of an AW 135i I've seen was posted in the Alpine White photos thread, new2the3 was the owner of the car I believe. [/QUOTE] The 261's look awesome on it, it's probably my favourite angle for the car, shows of the lines perfectly. Quote:
Thanks again for replying everyone, it's much appreciated. |

Put it this way, ANY BMW looks good in any colour. It's just a matter of choice. For me, i would disown you if you chose Cashmere.
I find white looks particularly brilliant in dusk/night conditions. I think it stands above the rest during those hours. Best of luck in your choice I'll attach a few pics of my white baby in a few mins for you |

You know me from Eve Online, was in ANZA for a while earlier this year, had to leave the game due to real life commitments taking priority (work etc). I noticed you on here whilst I've been lurking over the last few months, wasn't 100% sure if you were the same person or not. I've been reading the Eve forums every now and then trying to stay up to date, I must remember to login and start training up my characters again in case I do decide to return to the game.

I've got about 8 months until I'll be ordering the car, however instead of leaving it to the last minute to decide on the colour, I've decided to give myself plenty of time. Last time it was an on the spot decision, I won't do that again. |
