Even then the web colors are not always accurate...but good enough to tell. Hopefully.
IMO the best colour is saddle brown (it's true the hue's are inconsistent - my father's 328i's is too orangish, whereas my brother-in-laws 335is' is beautiful). The Terra looks too brownish with a touch of burgundy. I'm really torn, because I'm interested in the M235i with Mineral White and can only see Terra as opposed to saddle as the only option. If you do decide to go with Terra, get Mineral White not Alpine White (you'll thank me for it). I used to swear by no metallic paint for black and white, but AW is too milky bright and MW is shinier and has much more depth/interest to it. It really peaves me that BMW didn't offer saddle brown on the M235i. Your thoughts?
