I have to decide today . I'm not sure about the color.
Silverstone with orange and black wheel or AY with Sonoma with black wheel. I'm 35 years old.

I went with Silverstone and a black interior M4. I saw Silverstone in person and it looked really nice. I was worried it might have too much of a blue hue to it, but it didn't and it had a lot of depth.

Just pull the trigger on the AY. I like my Silverstone M3 but whenever I see one of the Fire Orange M3s driving around town Im jealous. You'll feel the same if you see a AY one in your Silverstones car.

I do not understand why your age has anything to do with this car, unless you really care what other people think of you.

And if that is the case, then this is the wrong car anyways.

Look at the M3/M4 configurator and picture yourself in it. You will either like it or not.

SS over Sahkir Orange for me w/ silver wheels though. Heavily leaning towards m3 but still might go m4. Do it.. do it.

I am getting an AY M4 and am trying to work up the courage to get an interior other than black so.. my vote is for AY/SB.

The M4 wasn't around when you were 14.

LOL. Classic example of how people should stay out of a post if they have nothing constructive to say.

OP, your question was a little vague and seems like you are just getting the opinion of others. If you really want us to evaluate what color you should be getting, there are some other questions you need to think about....
  • What color is your X5? How do you feel about this color? (i.e. bored, like it, etc)
  • What color is the interior on your car? Are you bored of it or do you want something flashier or more subdued?

The 2 options you posted are opposites in a way. Both will kind of make you stand out because of the black wheels actually.

Silverstone is a cool, unique (yet subdued) color but will not get much attention other than from enthusiasts (strictly my opinion). An orange/red interior would show that you are tasteful but also have a little wild side/not scared to take risks. This car would stand out, but not at initial glance.

Alpine white, while plain, actually draws a lot of attention and tends to stand out especially with the muscular stance of the M3/M4. The Sonoma interior is incredibly bland in terms of color, but does have a very fresh, clean look. You would choose this combo if you want the car to stand out from the getgo, whether in a parking lot or driving on the street. Alpine White, while not Brilliant White, is still pretty damn bright and brilliant.

Based on the breakdown above, I'd go with Silverstone/Orange.....It's something subtlety different, and you'll get comments about both the exterior and interior.

Either way you can't go wrong, good luck!

Personally I know that when i put down a deposit, I was sent an order sheet that had to be submitted by a certain date to retain my spot. Perhaps OP is in the same boat.

It does not matter as in either case they will confiscate the car from you once you turn 36 for having color combinations that are too brash for your age.

I think age is a factor. Do you really want to be a guy stepping out of smurf blue car at 35?

That's laughable, you're trying too hard.

You people are so conservative it blows my mind. Again why does anyone care what anyone else thinks. God you people are sheep. "All i hear is what will people think if i get out of a colorful car" Who the f%*^ cares? Are you really that insecure? Be a individual, not another dick in a golf shirt in a white BMW.

Relax, you are being a little dramatic. There is a difference between being an individual and trying too hard.

Are you a guy wearing a clown costume to work just so you can stand out?
