It certainly is a timeless color that looks good, no matter what the lighting.
Unlike most other colors. Maybe silver can also qualify. But to me, it just reminds me of a cloudy day.

Did your car come with white mirror caps or did you buy those afterwards?

Nothing beats a clean non metallic white car. Ceramic coated to keep it cleaner and shinier longer as well.

Some marketing "genius" in NJ decided Cerium was the ticket for the high zoot M40i

It's costing me lot of time and money to get rid of the fugly Cerium...

I suppose you choose "carbon fiber" trim when going for the Black and White?
Kinda surprised the blue is allowed in some the Roundel's posted here.

I chose carbon fiber if the option was available from BMW. For example the mirror caps. The grilles in black look great. Thought about the Carbon grilles but wasn't sure how good it would look.
