you should at least narrow down your options to a few color combos for people to recommend.

As true as this statement is, my previous car was white and as much as I loved the eerie glow at night and just the shear presence it had - it was just as much of a pain if not worse! to keep maintained then a black car and it didn't put out the results anywhere near one.

That's one of the reasons why I made the switch otherwise I'd be driving another white car right now

I saw a white one the other day and it was stunning. White is the new silver (so I'm hearing). If it were me I would go white with either red or saddle.
For some reason I'm not crazy about black interiors on Cabs. They attract sun(gets hotter) and dirt tends to make the interior look a bit dusty if you drive with the top down frequently.

All about sparkling graphite. You can't appreciate it until you've seen one with a proper detailing. The color is just stunning.

I have Black with aluminum and love it. It's very modern and clean feeling. If you had to get a wood with the black I'd go for the gray poplar.

I dunno about red on a SG car. What about Sadle, Terra, or Grey leather?

Right now the two choices I'm leaning towards are; Graphite, black interior, and gray poplar or Sapphire black, saddle, and light poplar.

335i Convertible

pulled the trigger today on the vehicle...Sapphire black, saddle brown, and light popular...
The dealer allocation will not be available until 1st of January(will have a month to change my mind on colors though), so I'll have to wait till End of February or March until delivery.

any ideas for a custom license plate ..."e93" is taken, it can only be 5 spaces...(letters or numbers)

Congrats, although I'm not a fan of black in general. Id go for the SG or go crazy and get montego. Montego is also awesome in person like SG. Pictures don't do either color any true justice.

As for custom license plates, I say save your cash for a mod. Custom plates are kinda gay plus it makes you extremely noticeable. Think about it. Some guy in a black bmw with "mye93" plates cuts some unstable guy off one day. The next day as he's walking though the mall parking lot he sees the same car that he recognizes due to the custom plates and decides that that person needs he's car keyed cuz of the way he cut him off yesterday. All because you needed to have your custom plates to stand out.
