Black vs. White .... Which would you pick?

sdbui2000 · 08-17-2006, 12:11 AM

These 2 colors are so different yet they both look so good in the E90 330i. Which would you choose and why?

NaTuReB0Y · 08-17-2006, 12:12 AM

Black.......................

just4kickz · 08-17-2006, 12:19 AM

uhhh... both are good... find a quarter.. heads or tails

ZuerstBMW · 08-17-2006, 12:21 AM

I would pick BLACK.

Dev330 · 08-17-2006, 12:23 AM

Id have to say black coz thats what I got

iceebmw · 08-17-2006, 12:24 AM

personally...

black is better color for BMW...it's just more classy..although harder to maintain. No pain no gain..haha.

White is a great color too..but not on BMW IMO. I think metallic white would be nice for BMW...i wonder why BMW don't offer it?

I think White makes the BMW look too sporty...which can be a good and bad thing. If you don't like washing your car often..go with White.

tturedraider · 08-17-2006, 12:28 AM

White! Every time! Mostly because I love how bright it looks; especially, right after it's been washed. It just looks so clean. And because, though some will argue this point, it doesn't show dirt. Dark colors show every speck. Secondly, because I live in Texas! I have had one black car with a black interior.....NEVER again!!! We have had almost a solid month now of highs over 100. Black gets SO HOT! White, especially with good tint, stays much, much cooler.

As far as black goes, I think Black Sapphire Metallic is much prettier than flat Jet Black.

Tropicool · 08-17-2006, 12:39 AM

i had the same dilema when ordering my 335. Then i realized, hey, either color will be great, and u can never go wrong with either. I told my dealer to suprise me!

climkt · 08-17-2006, 12:45 AM

I would pick black. white cars tend to oxidize to whitish yellow with age.

breakfast101 · 08-17-2006, 01:09 AM

Black.............

BeeEmDubU · 08-17-2006, 01:19 AM

white...more clean but im biased

shadowcoder · 08-17-2006, 01:22 AM

Black Saphire Metallic. Very nice, very.....BMW if you know what I mean.

However I also like white especially the combo I saw the other day on the
car park with the terra leather interior (I also have terra on mine). Very
nice.

Whatever you pick it will be nice.

SocalTy · 08-17-2006, 01:32 AM

Can't go wrong with either color.

Straz M3 · 08-17-2006, 01:56 AM

Had the same decision with my 335...went back and forth for a while but ultimately decided on White...I had a black car and it sucks when you wash it then go for a drive and come back and your car is dirty again...So i decided to give white a try

Kit523 · 08-17-2006, 02:09 AM

WHITEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
BLACK IS GOOD but i like white more
white is better for hotter day=)
and at night time, white car looks more sharp(for me)

ADHD · 08-17-2006, 02:09 AM

BLACK is and will aLWAYS be the nicest color to compliment the lines and cleanliness of a BMW!

Asiann · 08-17-2006, 02:17 AM

White! Black is much harder to maintain and only looks great when clean. Dirt shows too easily!

HRC · 08-17-2006, 02:24 AM

Not to get into a that vs. that war because they and all colors except for the green look hot, I would prefer AW because to me it make the car look more muscular because you can see the cuts or lines more easy. Black has it's own magic too.

Pick black because I want to be the only white e90 on the road.

richbum · 08-17-2006, 02:46 AM

WHITE. you knew this was gonna happen. its gonna be split down the middle. Some people want white, some want black. its just personal preference. My E46 was Black.. so i didn't wanna buy another black one.

astra · 08-17-2006, 02:48 AM

I'd have to say white... I think lighter colours look better on BMWs, and if you are not OCD with washing and cleaning it, white will always look better

MrSilver · 08-17-2006, 06:56 AM

Once you go black you never go back.
