Poll : Jet Black/Coral Red or Alpine Withe/Coral Red??

dawgdog · 12-14-2007, 06:48 AM

I had a Jet Black e46M3 with Imola Red interior for 3 years. Taught me a lot about detailing, but in the end I just tired of caring for the car. I will never again get a black car. I vote for AW on Coral.

One other thing: though black looks stunning is does mute body lines.

AW/CR

Coral is hot! I vote black to go with it (preferable metallic). Saddle Brown to go with AW.

i have an AW, i had the same problem, both colors look awesome! luckily my mom likes white, so we had to go with what she said...
after having aw, it is definitely easier to look clean and i am sure you kno that alrdy.

imo..i think its up to you whether you want to try something new or jus stick with what you really like alrdy

I was thinking to get Jet Black/Coral Red, but can't delete Alpine White from my brain.

I've had Alpine White E46 before, and I really liked it.
Never had Black car before, (Red E36, AW E46, Estoril Blue X5), and saw few posts saying that Jet Black is kinda hard to keep clean/take care.

Should I stick with Alpine White? or just go for Jet Black??

Thanks for any comments!!

black sapphire with coral

I did Sparkling Graphite/Coral. But if I had to choose between the two I'd do white. White always looks so clean! Black just shows too much and would drive me crazy!

montreal_bimmer · 12-14-2007, 02:48 PM

AW w/ coral..... but it is a hard choice.....

AoshichanX · 12-14-2007, 03:38 PM

I never much cared for white until this one person slapped some flat black DPEs on the ride. That shit looked way hot. With coral red interior it'll be so baller, albeit a bit ostentatious--which is the point of all this right?

mrbrett · 12-14-2007, 03:42 PM

AW/Coral is my vote. I have Space Grey/Coral and love it. My last car was black, and never again will I own one. Don't get black to hard to deal with...

SpiralOut · 12-14-2007, 09:33 PM

AW on coral with gray poplar...... Solid!

Although as somebody else said..... the saddle looks good with AW too.

Get:

Sapphire Black Metallic Exterior, Coral Red Interior, and Aluminum Trim.

Sapphire Black > Jet Black. =]

AW! Very nice X5

MentholGuy · 12-15-2007, 12:14 AM

Thanks guys for all replies!!

I've decided to get Sapphire Black instead of JB or AW.

e92man · 12-15-2007, 09:14 AM

nice x5!!!! i got black/cooral and love it. it is hard to keep clean but when its clean its just mesmerizing. white/coral looks really good as well and white stays clean for a long time but imo ther is nothin like a cleaned and waxed black car....

Congrats!

Sapphire Black is somewhat easy to maintain clean, just make sure to hand wash it and use something like:

Have fun!
