Help me pick a color

I might just purchase an M3, but I'm having a big issue choosing my favorite color...
I live in florida and it will be a hardtop convertible, so the sun will always be beating down on the paint making it shine..


Fire Orange:




Melbourne Red:





Mineral White:




Dakar Yellow:




Monte Carlo:

I'd narrow it down to two. MW/MCB. What interior color are you thinking of going with?

I thought you said you were buying used with a budget of $60k. FYI 3/5 of your color choices are individual colors and you will have an extremely hard time finding them used. And one is a 2011 color. As for new, they are a $5k option alone.
So your cheapest option would be to buy a used Melbourne Red. However I like the Mineral White.

I might buy new, I have yet to decide. Who knows. I usually do like 2 months of thinking before I actually purchase a car, so I havent really decided what my true price range is yet. I'm just going to find my favorite color and go from there.

I'll probably go with black interior with tan or red accents depending on exterior.

I LOVE the Fire Orange but that is not an option on the BMW USA site. It must be Europe only or a BMW Individual special order. Besides the orange, it's a toss up between Melbourne Red and Monte Carlo blue. I'd take an M3 in almost ANY color. I love that car.

I dont know how flexible your budget is, but I was just basing it off your last thread of a $60k budget. If you were to buy a new Fire Orange E93M, you're looking at high 70s base price! (based off bmwusa)

+1 price will be even higher if he's looking at getting individual paint and interior - will be >> $60k!

I had a AW with FR interior I loved it. It is however a very personal choice.

I also had the MCB and fund one sees every spot of dust and after a rain one needs to wash it fairly soon. So after my AW/FR then MCB/Black I went back to AW/Black.

If my first e92 AW/FR would have been fully loaded I would still be driving her.

My recommendation therefore has to be AW/FR is the way to go looks very sharp.

Dakar, but I have a soft spot for yellows

Monto Carlo or MW will be the most pimp/elegant for FL IMHO. If you want it to be racier, than go fire orange or dakar.

Wonder how many threads a week like this we get.

x2.

OP make a decision like usual everyone will tell you something different.

You have to drive the car everyday so make sure like others have stated that you like the color and dont worry about what everyone else is telling you. However if I were going to pick a color up there I would go with something different what about hellrot? google it, its really cool color and I believe there is only a couple in all of US right now.

Yes "Hellrot" is a nice colour, this Thread has some nice photos of a Hellrot ---> CLICK

This thread progression looks very similar ...

Of course it does. I'm deciding on a car.. What do you want me to do? flip a coin?

FO w/black wheels.

MCB or LMB

Seems like the OP needs other people to tell him what to get.

I would narrow it down to MW/MCB/MR. I voted MCB though. I think its the best choice. Love that colour.

I decide on my own, but I like asking other people what they like aswell. I always figured those extremely ugly modified cars look like that because the creator never kept himself in check by asking "how stupid does this look".

See, as much as I like fire orange, the reason I ask this question is because choosing a color isnt ALL opinionated. I dont want to drive around in a car that everyone else looks at and goes "EW THAT ORANGE IS HIDEOUS".. I also think I may get sick of a bright florescent orange after 2 or 3 months, but then again ive never seen it in person and some of you guys have.

Someone whos never owned a car before may not know that black sucks to take care of, just as much as someone whos never owned one of these colors may not know about the tiny little things the color has. I know on the Camaro forum about twice a week we get a thread about how bees love the yellow and green colors.'

As for my many threads regarding cars like the GTR, the M3, the Audi, the way the drive.. It's cause I dont own them. I want to do as much research and information gathering as possible from a real owner before I even consider buying. I might be annoying putting threads up EVERYWHERE, but if in the end I'm happy with my car, then I dont really care to be honest.

And by the way, right now I'm leaning towards Fire Orange and Mineral White. I'm not sure if I'll get sick of the FIre Orange and how insane it is, but I also am not sure if the Mineral White blends in too much in traffic.. I want people to see the badass M3 I'm buying, but I dont want to get sick of the color. I know my Camaro is flashy as can be, but then again it isnt practically chrome orange all around
