Personally I think these cars should come in "in your face" colors like my Dakar Yellow 1995 M3.
But I must admit that despite future parking lot problems, I just ordered mine in Alpine White. That with the cognac interior is a classic that I won't get tired of. And probably helps with any possible tickets. Once a white car stops speeding it's impossible to tell which one it was amongst the sea of white cars on the freeway.

If my last two cars weren’t white? I would likely go with Alpine or Mineral White. Don’t think One can go wrong either either BG or Whites. Personally, just wish the BG is shade darker or slightly less blue.

Briefly saw a white G42 today sitting at a traffic light; not sure if it was a 240 or 230? I'm a huge fan of white and has always been the color I'll start off with unless there's something else available I find more appealing. Some cars are simply meant for white, and some are not. IMO the white G42's are just a little too vanilla.

My 2nd choice would've probably been red. However, I love the Tacora interior, and thought it would clash with bright red exterior.

No offence to anyone but I really don’t understand people who order white cars especially if it’s non metallic like Alpine white. This is the standard free colour for most cars and it looks cheap. Especially bad here in the UK because of how muddy they get.

Also red interior? Ah don’t pay attention to me we have very different style choices.

The only 3 colours I could consider would be
Thundernight (the correct choice)
Black
Portimao Blue.

So in summary. Don’t listen to me.

Thank you

Had a Mineral White 3 series. Loved the color. IMO BMW's MW is one of the best whites out there. It's kind of a pearl with a very slight cool hue.

I'm not a fan of gray or gray metallic cars. Doesn't matter which car or which brand.

My M240i x-drive is Black Metallic.
