I had Glacier Silver on my first F30 and now I have Alpine White (Mineral White is my favorite of the whites though).

Silver has always been my favorite color on a car, followed by any kind of pearl or metallic White.

Mineral Grey Metallic!!!

black sapphire is my favorite. I like the mineral gray as well. For my money nothing touches a black BMW sedan with tinted windows in terms of look. Just looks timeless, classy, sleek, cool, etc. I could never go with a blue car. Looks too much like a toy to me. Red just screams midlife crisis or Thelma and Louise girls just wanna have fun vibe, to me. This probably sounds ridiculous but if I got a free BMW that was painted blue or red, I would sell it and buy a black one.

In order for me: Black sapphire, jet black, silver, gray, white... Thats about it.

Those answering black...you realize black is, by definition, the absence of color, right?

Just shows you how subjective car colors are. I am the complete opposite - black is one color I won't own. If I was given a black BMW I would sell it for a red or blue (maybe white) one! Black seems really plain/boring and makes me think of a limo

Going by the stats from the BMW CPO website I am in definitely in the minority with this opinion!

jet black 668. great when it's clean, terrible when it's not.

If I had to rank them:

1. Alpine White - It just shows the lines of the car realllly well.
2. Monaco Blue - Looked stunning when clean and in certain lighting.
3. Sophisto Gray - Looked pretty classy on the F10 boat. Its so dark most people thought it was black. Especially at night.

I had an E46 330ci 'vert in Monaco Blue. I liked that it looked crazy dark (almost black) in the shade, and the blue came out in the sun.

Currently Melbourne Red, which I like, but I'm thinking about wrapping it in matte black metallic or possibly a satin green, if I can find one that I like.

By definition, yes. Black is the absence of color....in the context of light/primary colors.

When one is producing a color, black is not the absence of other colors...just another shade.

Tomaaato. Tomahto. But I prefer oranges, so, whatever.

Melbourne Red Metallic for me. Makes the car stick out for sure, but cops aren't an exception to that
