Just changed my mind on colors

Had an Interlagos Blue with Silver Interior and Sunroof and just switched to Alpine White with Silver Interior and Carbon Fiber Roof. I really didn't want the white cause my last 2 cars have been white and most people are getting it so i wanted to be different. However after constantly looking at pics for the past couple of months I cant ignore the fact that this car is just flat out the hottest in white with that Carbon Fiber Roof. The roof really makes the car with the white and after getting the windows tinted its just going to look stunning IMO. I'm number 1 on my list at Manhattan BMW and the car was just about to go into production so I changed colors just in time!

I made my peace with Alpine White myself. It's a fantastic color for this particular car. Contrast with the CF top, plus it really shows off the lines that get muted by the darker colors.

You might think about the Aluminum trim with the silver leather--I think it looks nice.

How do you guys think the Silver Leather looks with the White? I was thinking of getting the Fox Red or Bamboo Beige. I definetely don't want Black. I wish that they had that Saddle Brown interior that the 335i has.

Second the Saddle Brown. I'd love to have that. Any of the three you mention would be fine with white. I'm going red for a little spice. The Silver is not my favorite shade of gray. Bamboo is okay but doesn't speak to me.

Nope, IMO that doesn't go together. I chose AW / silver with the standard titanium trim.

Does anyone know if the silver novillo we get over here in the states will have the light blue in it that the European Palladium has? The pictures in the brochure suggest that the light blue isn't there.

I don't think Palladium Silver belongs on white. Powder blue/gray on white doesn't go well together. Fox Red/White on the other hand is stunning.

AFAIK it's the same color with a different name.
