thanks,

james

First, are you ordering e90/e92? As far as the exterior goes i was in the same quandry and went with SG for my 328 e90. TiAg is a nice color but it seems as though all new cars you see today on the road are silver. The graphite is a popular color for the e90 but a little more unique than the silver. I think the graphite will stand out more. Either color will look great.

If you are mainly using the car as a commuter car and gonna spend time in traffic i would go with the auto. Auto would also be good for your gf. If you really wanna use the car for true driving enjoyment im sure most would say to get the manual.

No Not SPARKLING GRAPHITE!!!I saw an e92 with sparkling graphite today and I hated it. I love SG on the e90 but it looked awful on the e92. Also all you space grey people out there, it looked really blue when I saw it in real life. You should have gotten montego man!, that color is hot!!!I wish I ordered montego but I ordered black on black, way too hot for south florida I dunno what I was thinking. I'm gonna have to get 5% tints to keep that thing from melting hahah...Really though sparkling graphite is not the e92s color in my opinion. Titanium Silver is really nice but the car looks so generic in that color. Black is back.peacea
