I also vote to leave as-is. Silver with black accented comp wheels looks great

Broken record, but do NOT respray. It's a great color, but if you really wish to change it, just vinyl wrap it.

There are tons of reds to pick from. Inozetek has Ferrari Corsa red and blood red, which reminds me of Imola.

If you repaint the car, you will spend more than that 6k you saved for a good paint job.

Either a satin PPF or a wrap. A quality paint job is going to cost ~$15k.

EDIT: Found a pic of a silverstone with satin PPF. Looks way better in my opinion, plus it'll be cheaper than a wrap

if the color bothers you that much keep looking for another car. keep yours in good shape in the meantime and you should get good $$ as a trade or private sale...

100% keep the color as is. It's a solid color.

No need to spend thousands on a wrap, that may end up looking not too great.

Silverstone is a great color. Love the subtle blue hint to it. Matte PPF would look awesome indeed.

Yo!

I LOVE this color.

Echoing the majority here... Wrap it don't paint it. The next owner will be very thankful...

Beautiful car BTW....

Yours doesn't look frozen. While it looks cool I think you actually don't want frozen. Practically I hear door dings and other damage way more costly to paint or fix.

The wrap is a good idea if you want that look but I've never seen it up close

I had a silver stone 3 series the color is way better in person. Also, it just stayed new looking forever. My only hate on it is that it's a bit of a dated look, but that said it's less common now than any other recent time. All in I'd say it looks great and wouldn't bother with painting the car you'll end up unhappy and poorer.

Just drive it for a while and see what you think

No yours is not but if you did matte PPF it would look like it was and your paint would be protected

Just curious? Did you buy the car in Houston?

I was about to pull the trigger on an almost identical M4 in Houston but it was gone when I got back in town.

BTW, the car looks good. Whatever you decide to do, don't do a respray!!!!

You bought a different car. I found an identical to yours at a BMW dealership in the Houston area. Unfortunately, the car was gone when I got back in town (Dallas as well).

Your car looks good. Give it some time before you do anything, the color will grow on you.

Silverstone hides scratches and swirls very well, but when they are gone; the paint POPS. I'd vote keep as is and perform a minor paint correction & ceramic coating to preserve and give it that candy coating gloss.

I would say wrap since it's cheaper, not permanent, and retains OEM paint value.
