What color should I get!!????!?!?!?

jlstyle · 11-25-2008, 02:50 PM

I'm having such a headache these days about which color I should go for with E92.

I want either JB/Red or AW/Red.
It's going to be fully loaded 335i.
My vote is slightly toward to AW but I'll have to wait 6+weeks for that and I have JB readily available at dealer now.
Plus my fiance is all against me getting AW/CR. She thinks that combo is gay but too me it's looks way too nice.
But in other hand JB/CR looks stunning as well... See where i'm going?

Which one would you guys get?

And which one you guys think will hold better resale value?

Thanks in advance.

You really can't go wrong with alpine white, and since you live in jersey and it's cold right now, if you get the black it would be very hard to keep clean. The only way to keep a black car looking good is with a hand wash. Plus if you wait six weeks for the white, it will be almost time for spring. Who wants to drive a brand new car in the winter with snow and salt on the road.

Either one would be good. White is a little bit easier to take care of but black with coral red would look insane!!

Whostheboss · 11-25-2008, 03:01 PM

Too many people have AW.......

In six weeks it will almost be spring?! Man I need to move to NYC.

keep it comming guys! Get AW out of my mind please!

Man, I have a Jet Black/Red Coral on Black powdercoated/red pinstripes rims and I can honestly tell you that it definitely turn heads out in the O.C. Also, get cilajet for your body paint; it will make your car have that wet look to it. Just my 2 cents.

Blue

Nothing wrong with Alpine white/Coral IMO. I would highly suggest that combo! I love it.

Deda · 11-25-2008, 03:16 PM

man, that is so sweet problem..i will go for aw/red..but black is so cool!

canucklion · 11-25-2008, 03:17 PM

For Monday, wear red, Tuesday, wear black, Wednesday purple, Thursday pink, Friday green. Weekend is up to you, or should I give you your weekend color-coordination schedule as well?

Whostheboss · 11-25-2008, 03:35 PM

Alpine White Is Played Out.

Whostheboss · 11-25-2008, 03:38 PM

This boils down to your personality,
If you are the wild crazy type that follows trend = AW

HOWEVER

If you are the cool and collected confident type, less talks and more smiles to people you meet = Jet black

Man what about shorts?

Year's_End · 11-25-2008, 04:31 PM

In all seriousness though, I kinda wish I could start over and get AW and do a blackout theme with black wheels, black trim, dark tints, and black grilles.

Yup. They look too superior with blacked out scheme.

johnnydad · 11-25-2008, 04:54 PM

Coupe is it?

All look great. If you prefer Alpine White, even slightly, aesthetically, then get it. It will be far easier to care for and does look fantastic with the Coral Red. The lighter colours tend to accentuate the lines also which is clearly a good thing.

Both should be safe colours at resale time.

darkphantom · 11-25-2008, 05:35 PM

JB = you can wash the car everyday, or atleast every other day

White = you will wash the car once a week

Can't go wrong with CR for interior though

AW/CR FTW!!!
