Choose BSM... I want one less white car on the road.
Just kidding. You can't go wrong with either choice. You spend most of the time inside the car anyway.

WOW!!!!!! B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!!!!!

I'm 8 long months away from ordering M4. I owned 3 back BMWs.
I think I'm leaning towards a white car this time around. I'll probably change my mind back and forth 100 times before ordering and chicken out at the last minute.
Hell, bring SO back and I'm sold.
Not much help, am I?

How about Alpine white vs Mineral white, which one is better looking

CaryTheLabelGuy · 04-05-2015, 08:07 PM

I'm a huge fan of white sports cars, especially with a carbon fiber roof and carbon fiber accents. That said, nothing beats the BSM M4 when clean. BSM is a gorgeous color, especially when in direct sunlight. The pearl is stunning with tons of depth.

I love my BSM M4, despite really wanting a white M4.

M3vk23 · 04-05-2015, 11:55 PM

I truly appreciate all the feedback I am still on the fence and don't know. Alpine shows the car so well but BSM with the grayish looking 19s just takes the cake I think

Love this car in Alpine White, especially with the black accents and with black wheels.

I normally go black, but I love having white. Looks clean all the time and looks agressive on the F80.

Love your username, very creative.

Black is hard to maintain. But if you plan to go with black, I highly recommend clear bra-ing entire front area.

Op how about tanzanite blue? I had no appetite for spending $2k on paint but individual is a nice way to break the tie as others have said

ando · 04-06-2015, 11:07 AM

I chose BSM and I don't think it's that bad to maintain. I do like the look of Alpine White and CFRP roof though. I generally wash my cars once per week no matter what and if there is noticeable dust on the black car I don't worry. I will admit that Jet Black was moderately more difficult to take car of in the sense of wax & polish care.

theroadrunner · 04-06-2015, 01:35 PM

My E90 is AW and so easy to maintain, it looks good even with a layer of dirt on it. But went with BSM for the new F80 to change it up.

ss134 · 04-06-2015, 01:36 PM

I like and have owned cars in both colours. Black hides the detail and lines and while looking aggressive I feel it is more low key than white. From a distance a black m4 looks like a regular 4 series which can be seen as a plus or a minus depending on your inclination. White is easier to maintain and shows the lines and detail better. I went white for this car and it looks the business.

diamondsbylauren · 04-06-2015, 02:01 PM

How often do you wash your car?

My cars are all black, I think it is the best colour....but if I was getting an M3 it would be white for that great CF roof contrast.
