funny I'm trying to decide between Alpine White and Titanium Silver...I have seen both in person and although I have Ti Ag on order I'm really contemplating AW as it looks so good in person, but in the back of my mind I keep thinkin white is a feminine color on a car....

Nope, iam just confused i really think the red is hott but the white if modded right looks classy as well it always has on the bimmers.

Iam gonna lower the car and stuff some 19's or 20's on it with the phattest lip i can get (polished)!

The titanium looks good too my old 2003 e39 was TS and looked great but iam looking for something a little different this time.
I also have a 05 545i in silver gray and iam tired of grays and such so it has to be white, red, black for me...black is alot of maintance and red looks great when cleaned up and white always looks good!

So !!!

Does anyone have a few pics they can post of CR on any combo interior and a AW combo i have not seen much in either colors??

Thanks!

Red is awesome. Gets you looks and compliments everywhere you go.

I'm Biased, but I've never liked Red... Although, the E92 looks good in BMW red...

Though I think it looks better in White...

I'd get TiAg if I were to do it again. The brake dust on the BMW is Brutal, wheels are now gunmetal and the whole back half of your Alpine white car will be covered in black brake dust. Kinda Sucks.

I am secure with my manhood - so choose any color. I am biased to red though. For some reason, I like Mercedes in white....

I love my AW, but seeing new M3 makes a red seem very appealing--especially with gunmetal wheels.

Any color you choose will be the right one for you. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The new M3's red isn't crimson, it's Melbourne. Crimson is brighter, so I dont know about gunmetal wheels with it.

Not to start a "more red cars get caught speeding" but maybe just for that reason, I couldn't do red. Perhaps it's been mentioned before, you need to look at these cars in person, if available, in various lighting conditions, then decide. I do know the AW will look awesome in evening and low light conditions.

When I was able to test drive a 328i for the weekend it was crimson red. It grew on me and needless to say thats what I ordered!

If you're asking me, I say CR! I have TiAg now...still love it. But I've been seeing pics of CR on the Pic forum and it looks hot! Plus I have yet to see an e92 in CR in person in my area. Be unique!

Both are nice--I would just be afraid of getting sick of the red, because it is pretty bright. I love the AW--that's what I would go with. Good luck.

I love the red, but it takes some balls to get that color.

My hat's off to you if you are bold enough to get red.

My fear with the red is that although I like it, I'd wonder if I'd get sick of it. Its one of those colors that I'd think maybe I'd like for a few weeks and then get sick of. Like the bright blue Bentley I saw in Munich.
