M pack colour

I appreciate that colour is very subjective. I would appreciate any thoughts on what you believe exterior colour will give the sportiest look for the M pack. I am stuck between black, carbon black,space gray and titanium silver. Your thoughts are appreciated!

+1 on White

-1 on Titanium Silver; just doesn't work for me

-1 on Space Grey; nice color, but popular on the non-M X3s

Black always looks good and sporty to me

Me and my 2 mates all ordered the x3 30d with M sports.

1 in Titan silver (for me - always look clean and my wife wanted this colour)
1 in carbon black
1 in arctic white

I reckon all 3 will look hot. So +1 for all 3 colours above. All different but nice!

Space Grey

I have gone for space grey for my M-sport.

White is nice but too difficult to keep clean in the UK, this is my forth car in this grey, really I want to have a white car to remind me how popular this colour is in the 80s. I used to have a M2 Golf GTI.

I've gone for Alpine white, with Carbon Black being my second choice. I wanted to run Carbon Black with Oyster interior, however getting a new born made me go for the all black interior and Alpine White exterior. I would say that is the most "sporty look", but carbon black with oyster is probably an even nicer combo.

Hey Kouta, I have changed my interior colour to oyster with the Siena woodtrim. You sticking to black with aluminium? I think JO might be going for Oyster as well.

Garage List
Alpine White or any variety of Black will give the most pop to the M Sport package. Agree with others on the silvers and grays - not much return on investment there.

Yeah am going to stick to black and aluminum. Mrs kouta ain't too adventurous. It's a classic so resell should be okay. Still deciding on the 19inch. Will likely get it.
