Sparkling Graphite is a stunning colour. It was one of my choices, but my E46 Convertible had been Silver/Grey and I fancied a change.
The reason I went for Le Mans Blue was because it is exclusive to the M Sport model and it's an amazing colour, but saying that, if my E46 had not been silver/grey, I would of spent many a sleepless night deciding on my colour. Blue or grey? blue or grey? blue or grey?
I would of loved a 330i - 330d, but needed good MPG as I do 25,000+ miles a year, hence the reason I now have an "oil burner".
What I saved on the price of the 330i/d I spent on options. The leather is a must if you have 2 little horrors like I do!
