So what's the best colour for a F10?
So what do you guys reckon is the best colour for the F10 M Sport? I've seen many F10s on the road but few with the MS trim. Since I placed my order I've been trying to spot F10s with the MS trim on the road and nearly crashed my E92 a number of times whilst gazing whenever I see one drive by or parked.
So far I've seen: Space Grey: Titanium Silver: Carbon Black: Sophisto Grey: ( Happy I chose this colour) Obviously it's all about personal choice, but it would be good to hear some other opinions. |

I think the range of colours available is crap. Whatever happened to Imola Red?

No offence, but this is a pointless thread, everyone is pretty much going to prefer the colour that they ordered....
Except maybe me, I love carbon black, but at £855 they can poke it and I'll have alpine white kthx. What IS a topic though, is the craptastic choice of interior colours. Black or a choice of beiges. WTF. Where's the colour option there? Where's the red interior that's worn so well on my e92 and still stands out fantastically?

I'm really pleased with how my half oyster, half black leather goes with the Jet Black but I'm less impressed with how easily the paint swirls.

i think carbon black is best......that's my colour...oh crap pointless thread
actually mine was a cancelled order so i didn't get a choice....if i'd factory ordered i'd probably have gone with the sophisto grey xirallic but i was too impatient and the cancelled order was a good deal and pretty much my perfect spec. as others have said, carbon black, black look great but are a bugger for cleaning and keeping swirl free'ish. not sure i'd order/buy in black again but don't regret it. |

I've got carbon black and love it but if I was ordering now I think I would look long a hard at frozen silver, saw an M3 in it the other day and really liked it and it's very unique for the moment until it becomes the new White. I also like White mineral metallic and moonstone, all colours you can no doubt order if you push your dealer hard enough (at a price though).

I have to say that when Jon from tyresmoke said he had ordered space grey on his 550i I said it was a nothing colour and he was mad, however, seeing it I think it looks fantastic.
The first saloon I have preferred over the touring. I saw a white M-Sport touring on those dark 20" alloys last week and that also looked stunning. |

Moonstone looks fantastic in the flesh, only seen one so far out of a million black ones and the usual assortment of greys and whites. Really stood out and the paint was so deep that you could swim in it. Holy hell it's a price though...!!

Mmmm prob any of the blacks but way way to hard to keep clean and from marks etc for my liking, I'd love mineral White but too much extra to pay for IMO, I had a space grey x5 which I loved but wanted a change for my F10 I opted for titanium silver and love it shows up the body styles and lines perfect and hides any minor blemishes perfectly well :0)

(Hi by the way) I had to choose mine quickly and went for this. Still haven't seen one - so hope we have the same taste :smile:
From the book I would have chosen Tasman but thought my friend had that and didn't want to copy.... He didn't... The Great Sophisto it is. Arrives late August. |
