Another Exterior Color Debate: White or Blue?
Here is another exterior color debate. I do realized car colors are very personalized option and depend on each individual taste.
I can’t seem to decide between the alpine white or the estoril blue color. I am currently an owner of a mineral white E92 and loved it. I want to stick with coral red interior. What exterior color would work best with my interior choice? The last car that I had with a solid color was red and I remembered it was a pain to keep it shinny and swirl free. Is Alpine white easy to take care of? Do you think the blue and red interior would be too fugly? Thanks.

Another vote for EBII!!! I just ordered my F30 in EBII/black and cannot stop checking out the EB photo thread! I've always had grey/dark cars, and I literally counted 5 white cars in a row turning into a parking lot at work yesterday morning.....Be different!

Just make sure to see the blue in person. I didn't like it in the sunlight, but looked good on a cloudy day or in the showroom

I've seen the red interior with a darker shade of blue, and it looks good; to me, EBII is too bright for the red, which seems to clash with it. I'd recommend the white with coral red. What I don't understand is why they don't offer more than black, beige, and red with M-Sport; what happened to gray and saddle brown? And I haven't seen a navy blue interior for quite some time - I had a white Porsche 944S2 cabriolet with navy top and interior, which was a great combination.

As stated it is personal preference. I chose EBII on my 14 335xi MSport and I think it looks amazing with the coral red. But I always wanted EB ever since I saw it on a 99 M3.

Decide what's more important to you: blue exterior or red interior. I wouldn't mix these two together.

White is not a color.
I've never liked blue.

I have both, you can't wrong with either of the two as they are possibly the two best colors BMW has to offer
