I also like Sophisto Grey - does this suffer badly like Carbon Black for swirl marks? I'm torn and can't make up my mind?? |

I have had three silver cars before, and have a Sophisto Grey at the moment.

Carbon Black mate, get it coated, and no swirls if looked after. Last car was metallic black too. You get two colours in one, black and dark blue 👌

Looks fantastic and not making it easy at all to make a decision. It's looking like a potential toss up between Glacier Silver, Sophisto Grey or Carbon Black... Too many choices

Weighing up one for my next car - how do you find the exterior noise with the pano roof? Appreciate you may have driven one without it but is it noisy at the roofline?

I wouldn’t say it is particularly noisy around roofline, certainly with roof closed. Yes of roof open and you are doing 70 on motorway it is noisy, but then that is no surprise. Thing I like is the light it gives the cabin (with just blind open) and the fact you can have roof open (tilt or open) without getting buffeted like mad as you do with window open over 30 mph

Those three colours would probably be my top 3 too, but as I said you get 2 in 1 with the Carbon Black 👍 Bit any of them are very nice 😬 |

Just to add another in the mix ... I was after black or Carbon black but ended up looking and buying phytonic blue metallic !
On an X3 it looks awesome - Mine has red and black leather too ... again, not an immediate choice until I saw it. |

Will get it coated on the exterior both paint and alloys to maintain the finish for as long as possible. Thanks everyone for all your suggestions. |

Piano Black is reflective as hell in the sun - I think I'd choose something else when I get my next car but not something too "woody" - I'm not that close to retirement age after all
