Which colour then...

ktbmw · 01-30-2014, 07:32 AM

Quite simply….

Do I choose…

EB2 or Glacier Silver or Mineral Grey…

This will be fun!

BongoBongoLand · 01-30-2014, 07:40 AM

MG for me !

vikz55 · 01-30-2014, 07:41 AM

I'm going to start WW3 but here's my take...

EB2 = sporty and stands out
MG = classy, understated and subtle
Silver = boring and common

EB 2

dopper99 · 01-30-2014, 07:57 AM

Neither.

Black....

BMWSKI · 01-30-2014, 08:01 AM

EBII...obviously

PurpleTT · 01-30-2014, 08:37 AM

Aren't we all missing the obvious here?

The man drives an Ice Cream Van - so Glacier Silver!!

I'll get me coat...

Sabo · 01-30-2014, 08:41 AM

I've got MG and I do like it. I also like EB(my wife really doesn't) but personally I think I would get board of it after a while. Would never have black, next one probably AW

JohnM · 01-30-2014, 09:05 AM

MG

Chris Peacock · 01-30-2014, 09:22 AM

I would have the silver if I had another, looks stunning in M-Sport spec and very unusual, hardly see any on the roads. Would definitely go with the the coral red leather too with this colour.

EB is a little shouty, but it's a beautiful colour and seems to change with the different light conditions, a great choice but quite popular.

MG was my wife's choice (and she subsequently chose for her 1 series) but for me it's bland and drab, it's the colour of a rainy british miserable day

Alkidrew · 01-30-2014, 09:32 AM

Silver? Boring? Outrageous. Fantastic colour.

Actually, I'm going to go against the grain here, but I think the M Sport models look pretty good in silver, especially if you get the black grill trims etc...

That Moonstone car that was pictured in another thread on here looked really nice.. and, of course, Tanzanite Blue.. but I would say that, would't I

Tengocity · 01-30-2014, 11:03 AM

EBII is a great colour (bias as I have this), but perhaps a little common?

Personally I don't like MG- found it a bit dull and boring, though that was on a demo SE car, rather than a MSport. I do like grey, but prefer the lighter ones like Space Grey on the E9x and F1x cars.

Silver used to be too common generally, but not so much now, I think had EBII not been such a great colour we would have gone with this.

I generally prefer lighter metallic colours myself, as they don't show swirls marks and dirt so much, and reward a good polish/wax.

Also, dark tourers, with dark windows, have a hint of hearse about them... not a good look!

DazC · 01-30-2014, 12:00 PM

1st - EBII
2nd - Glacier Silver
3rd - Mineral Grey.

/ thread

F30AM · 01-30-2014, 12:43 PM

It's really simple.

EBII 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

Reason:

EBIIm in the morning
EBIIa in the afternoon
EBIIn at night

So, it's EBIIman. A manly colour it sure is!

Three different colours for the price of one.

And that's my inverted logic.

Paulvr6 · 01-30-2014, 12:57 PM

I'm MG purely because I adore dark grey, all my cars have been grey in the past 8 years and I'm too narrow minded to consider anything else!

MSport looks great in Silver, EB11 also looks great. Not sure I've seen any more Silver than EB11 around the Surrey area.

Have you a chance to view a few at some stealers, always better to see in person?

matk · 01-30-2014, 01:03 PM

I love my MG but if i was to order again i would have moonstone, the one posted on here a few weeks back looked amazing. But out of the standard colours MG Black then AW

pedroF31 · 01-30-2014, 01:57 PM

MG is classy and still rare in my experience whereas 'gas van' blue is VERY common in my experience - go figure.......

Maybe it's because they are so dull that you didn't notice them, and as EB is so striking you notice every one of them?!

I do notice a lot of EB though, but decided it's my favourite colour so bollocks to whatever anyone else has. Doesn't help that they have the same colours for 1 series too, where EB is v popular too.

teaston · 01-30-2014, 02:10 PM

Look at the top of the page on the left hand side, that is the colour you should get!
