Who's going to paint their i3?

For some reason BMW is only release their i cars in a handful of colors.

With the i3 you get orange, white, silver, two greys and champagne.

Who's planning on painting theirs?

I'm considering one now and will likely get it done in black saphirre--and excuse me if this is obvious--but does that harm resale?

A few people have already done vinyl wraps to change the color of their i3s.

Red and Yellow have been done to great effect.

I own no garage queens. If it's in my driveway, it's been ridden hard and put away wet. ...and now, with a light crust of Maine road salt.

here's an example of an i3 wrapped in red.

looks good!

strange what they did to make the window line less disconnected. don't like how they colored the grill. but for the most part this is promising!

*********MODS can you please move this thread back to the i3 forum???
