Please help me decide

Hi All. I found two 2011 328i with the exact options I want. One is deep sea blue/beige, the other space grey/beige. I am really having trouble deciding which one I should get. The blue may be more eye-catching but the grey hides dirt better.

Any opinions will be appreciated!!!

Blue, imho space grey is boring.

Finally saw my first Deep Sea Blue w/beige 328i the other day and it is as you say, absolutely eye catching.

My personal preference would be Deep Sea Blue, Not very fond of the grey w/beige interior either.

I understand about the grey hiding dirt better, my son has a 328xi in space gray and it does hide the dirt.

Not a fan of blue or any bright colors on BMW. It's a classy car and deserves a classy color. Therefore space grey for the win IMO.

Deep sea blue is not bright at all... And will set off the beige interior much better than the gray will...

With the right mods, SG can be the best color. Mix it up with gloss black roof, grills, m3 trunk spoiler and mtech rear with gloss black diffuser and you have one sexy badass lookin car (for E92 at least ;-))
I personally hated my SG coupe when I first got it for the reason 328xi mentioned, but as I came up with mod ideas, bam- it was love.

OK, folks. I got a silver one, again. I went over to the dealership to check out the cars. The space gray looks a little dull. The deep sea blue is very nice, but a little too dark for my taste. The silver shows the car's curve the best. My first 330 convertble was silver, then a black 750i. The black 750i looks awsome when it's clean, when it's not clean, that's another story...

Thank you very much for your suggestions.
