335i colors

what color would look best on a 2009 335i coupe with it having been modded out. I am tinting the windows and getting rims for sure. The Alpine white, sparkling graphite metallic, and black are the choices I have narrowed down to. Any of your guys opinion would be great. tyler from ky.

I'm pretty positive that sparkling graphite was discontinued after 08, so in that case i'd go with white.

I used to be a black car guy, but the 3 really looks sharp in white, especially the 335is with the black accents

I love my Space gray metallic

It looks awesome and even more so when clean

Im happy with my gray car. If i had gotten 08 i would have had to get sparkling graphite

I dont think sparkling graphite was available on the e92 anyway. I think it was only on the e90 and e92 from 06-08 as mentioned above

Define "modded out". Anything besides rims and tint?

Look through here for a couple hours:

White will make CF standout, especially.

I might be a bit biased... but i fell in love with Black sapphire metallic and I bought it. if you go for black, its got way more depth than jet black so you should consider it. I love way it is black and glowing at the same time.

Alpine White + Black interior (coral red if you are e92) + gun metal rims = game over

I think BSM would look really nice in all light conditions... But I ordered Montego Blue because it's my favorite color and it really shines in all light levels (day/night/overcast). Plus it's unique compared to just black, white, or grey/silver.

I like montego blue... a strong statement opposed to deep sea blue. I love deep sea blue as well and its subtle, but montego is definitely blue lover's blue.

now if anyone remembers, interlagos blue for E46 M3 was something else... BMW makes good blue paints but that is no. 1 on my list.

I agree. I think e92 looks best with more "active" colors.

My favorites for e92 are
Montego blue
Lemans blue
Space gray

For e93 I would so take a barbera red or some other dark metallic color.

The darker Monaco and deep sea blues look better on e90 I think.

Oh yes! I saw a Black 335d estate with the gun metal rims on! I struggled to compose myself.
