Colors! Having as hard time deciding..

...looking to order an X3 m sport. Can't decide upon exterior color, been browsing as many threads as possible to see your guys color combinations.
Like the Mojave interior with Dark Waveline wood trim, now looking for the right exterior color to go with it...suggestions or pics (if you have Mojave int)really appreciated.

Carbon is Exclusive to M. I have seen it in real life and would fully recommend. It has real 'personality'. Different color from different anlges and light.

I ahve always had black and Alum interior. Just my Fav...

CB looks great if you like black but want something a little different. Bear in mind that should you need a repair it's a bitch to match due to it changing colour when the light changes.

Alpine white looks great with the M Sport. I also suggest chestnut Nevada interior.

I just picked up a 35i MSport yesterday in Titanium Silver with the Mojave leather and I love it. I have 2010 35i Z4 in titan silver with black nevada which I like equally well, however my wife prefers the silver black combo.

It's hard to decide on a color and even when you do between the time you order to time you take delivery you might want to change your choice. I ordered Titanium Silver and have thought about switching to AW, as well as switching interior configuration.

I am going to stick with my original choices. Various colors are all quite nice so make a choice and be happy with it ;-)

How do you want the car to be perceived? CB and AW seem to have a little more "aggression" in the color. Little more bad ass, if you will. Whereas pictures of a MS M were posted here awhile back and the car looked incredibly refined. I was blown away by how it looked.

Opted for carbon black. Exclusive M color. Space gray a close second. Normally I'm Aspen white all the way, but it looks cheap with m-sport because the tacked on look of the fenders.

Ah Nice! Will have some decent pics in about 2 weeks. Space Grey would be my second as well. Very stealth.

Are you talking about the black screws on the inside of the wheel well? I ordered a white M Sport and did notice that originally in some photos. Does it stand out that much in real experience? Maybe owners can paint the screws.. Either way Alpine White ftw

just my opinion. it's not the bolts/screws, but the line around the fenders is very noticeable making the aero kit seem like an aftermarket add-on.

i was 100% on aspen white until i saw one in person. ymmw.

Carbon Black or Sapphire Black only for me in M Sport. Would probably go for the Carbon because of the exclusivity but it does look very blue in some light. Lighter colours make the wheels look too small
