Most Underrated color

just wondering what you guys feel are some good colors that most people don't seem to buy.

most e90/e92 i see are black/white/silver

but i personally feel electric red or crimson red is the most underrated.
i love that color, and i would def get it as my car. but i rarely see them!

here are some red e90's

Arctic, followed by Deep Green.

Montego is undeniably beautiful, not underrated. Just because people don't buy it doesn't mean they don't like it--most just say it is too bold for them, or they settle with dealer lot cars which are mostly black, silver, etc.

Montego Blue. It is radioactive, folks enjoy it from a distance, but don't want to be too close.

I would also have to go with Montego Blue. Everytime I tell people that I would have gotten that color if it was available back in mid 2005, they think I'm crazy.

Agreed.

Also I seen Barbera Red Metallic in person and think it looks amazing on the E92.

Atlantic Blue. Seen it on a few 6-series. Real head turner. Would consider it for my next car.

how anyone could vote montego blue or alpine white as the most underrated color is beyond me. I think its pretty much universally accepted that these are two of the sexiest colors on e92s, not to mention most common.

I dont think the red are underrated, just uncommon.

I personally think Monaco Blue is the most underrated color, although its pretty common. MB e92s are just sick. Platinum bronze is too, but only works on the M coupe IMO. Arctic is pretty underrated as well.

I think the OPs point is many of us admire Montego/Crimson/AW, but then "chicken out" and get a safe (but still gorgeous) colour like SG or BS.

I'd been set on a Montego Blue one for a while, and almost changed to SG twice (as I was signing the order, and a week later, when I added more options).

I love crimson too - but with my driving style, I felt that was adding neon-backlighting to the "OI - OFFICER!! TICKET ME!!" signage

Funny... I almost chickened out of montego and got silver/sg/sg2 as well. I love my choice. I'd have to say the most underrated color is whatever blue that was on last years E90? It was somewhere between monaco and montego. Closer to monaco of course. Kind of like interlagos? Was it called mystic? Anyway, I love it.

How can you say Montego Blue is the most common...I only seen maybe 1 to 2 so far since its out in 2006..The most common colors are white, black, silver and the most common between all of them is the space gray...Montego blue is widely amired but when it comes to actually ordering the car with that color, people decide on the normal colors that are not too flashy...I went from choosing space gray to Montego because i loved the blue and went with it..
