Why no love for Silverstone Metallic?

AustinYellowMakesMeHard · 07-27-2014, 01:30 PM

Absolutely gorgeous IMO. Would look amazing with SO interior.

svc0x80 · 07-27-2014, 01:44 PM

I love the Silverstone, but in the presence of AY, it looks boring.

AY > YMB > SS II.

If I were a little older/classier. I'd go with SS II.

Lots of love from me as that is what I have being built right now! Like the orange interior but it would be sensory overload. Now, in the convertible, I can deal

1stm3f80 · 07-27-2014, 01:52 PM

Baby blue hue

E92LNGCGY · 07-27-2014, 01:59 PM

Silverstone with Sakhir orange was my 2nd choice. I actually ended up order the reverse (Sakhir Orange on Silverstone)

Sephiroth · 07-27-2014, 02:00 PM

Its a great color no doubt.

consolidated · 07-27-2014, 02:06 PM

No, we need more White/SO, a rare combo.

I really like Sakhir Orange for an exterior color as well. What made you order the reverse?

MW is probably my least favorite color this gen.

Awesome!

Can't wait to see pics. What interior color did you go for?

I wanted something different. For the past 3 BMW I had 2 alpine white and 1 silver.

This time around I wanted something that is M exclusive. I also didn't want black interior because I like to have some color inside.

When I get it (hopefully within the next 7-10 days) I will put some pics up here.

+1. This kills it for me. Looks great under fluorescent light, where it looks more silver, but in sunlight it looks baby blue.

That's actually why I like it. Plain old silver is just boring.

+1. I will probably go with SSII. The blue hue is what I really love about it.

Agreed. This is why BMW offers us these choices (should be even more imo), you and I don't like the hue while for others that what seals it.

JTO24 · 07-27-2014, 02:40 PM

I really like SS.. It's down to SS, YMB, moonstone or azurite black.

omegaSMP300 · 07-27-2014, 02:42 PM

I would prefer a true silver color but it does look nice and changes hue a good amount depending on lighting

Lups · 07-27-2014, 02:46 PM

Hahaha at the OP's nick.

SS is the most beautiful of all the colors in my view. Of course that didn't end up in my build because of it.

Sir Loin · 07-27-2014, 02:48 PM

The rear looks so good.

My Silverstone M3 is at the port waiting for a ship and I cant wait for it to get here!

Year's_End · 07-27-2014, 02:58 PM

I personally feel like the F8X's lines are more suited to the other hues offered, although I still have a soft spot for SS II. I think it looked best on the E60 M5.

True, they should offer more choices. They should offer a real silver in addition to the baby blue one.
