I regret Mineral White. First car with PPF, and my edges get dirt and show too much on white; also, you see yellowing more with white PPF. And I supposedly have the best, Suntek Ultra. I HATE white cars with PPF.
Also, I hate white because of all the rock chips that platter my rocker panel behind the front wheel and on the rear fender, despite the PPF there, I have lots of chips above where the PPF is. I wish I had gotten Sakhir Orange or a blue.

No regret going from Black to Imola Red on my 18 M3 without paying premium on the individual paint.

I love Limerock Gray so much. Couldn't be happier.... unless it was Porsche Chalk but I'll save that for a Porsche.

I kept waiting to pull the trigger on paying for Individual paint (Atlantis) though in my heart I knew it's what I really wanted.
After picking up the car, I knew I made the right choice. If you plan to keep the car for a long time, it's absolutely worth getting the color you truly want. Every time I look at it I smile. |

One drive in my MW and I see dirt on it. On the other hand, my wife's Samurai (dark) Gray Q7, it doesn't show nearly the dirt after one drive, it still looks clean.

I like my AW with the carbon bits, but I do wish I would had opted for an individual Atlantis or SMB. I just couldn't justify the price and the fact that the first rock chip would bring too much sadness.

I’m on my second MG M3 and I sometimes lament not getting Mineral White. Grey is great for hiding dirt, but white looks spectacular to me when it’s clean. Beyond that, a true classic silver is still my favorite.

No regrets with my color choice - Smoked Topaz Metallic. I have always been a fan of darker colors with the exception of blacks and greys - I owned an Avus Blue E36 M3 and an Imola Red E46 M3. While it is technically an individual color, I magically found my car on the dealer's lot. The fact that there are only 2 F80's in the US configured like mine (STM, Carbon Structure, ZCP and 6MT) makes it even sweeter for me ...

I went from an AW 340i to a MW M3 and I love the MW. I missed having a white with some metallic/pearl in it.
Since all F80s are now used, and I was looking for a DCT ZCP with black interior, my options were fairly limited so I was going for Glacier Silver first (silver will always be one of my favorites) and then Mineral White, but would've been ok with another Alpine too. If I could've chosen any color though, it would've been Laguna Seca Blue, then probably Imola Red.....maybe with the G80 someday

Tanzanite is a great color, but it only looks like that from a given angle in very bright sunlight/light. It is a very, very dark blue that looks black a lot.

Head on over to the photo sections "ACAP Films of West Chester (or ...of Main Line)" on Facebook or Instagram.
My car is on their page if you scroll down midway through. Its SMB with the dark 666 wheels. (I tried to upload the pics directly here but damn MacBook is spazzing out with trying to attach pics) My go-to color would've been either Miami Blue or Fire Orange had I have known that indiv. colors would be no charge only a couple months into MY20. Fiancee pointed out how the shade of SMB looks close to the blue Civics or WRXs on the road. I know its all in jest, but now I can't unsee it.
