Having doubts about color

Silverstone is different enough from plain silver.

M3 also looks stunning in mineral grey. I bought my e89 in MG based on walking by a MG f80 at the dealer.

Thank you everyone for the advice and reassurance.

If you want a white, I would go Mineral white with black accents for sure!

AY will definitely stick out more, but it's also a color that some people really like and others hate, so I would definitely try and find one and see it in person before pulling the trigger. Good luck!

If it's any consolation, I have a MG on SO (blends with other gray cars I guess), but still get a TON of looks and attention both when parked or while driving. Definitely not 'just another 3 series' on the road.

My wife chose the color combination of my M4 and I agree with her, it turned out amazing.

I was on the same situation a couples months back, I went an almost put a deposit on a AW on SO but then I saw all 4 colors.... YMB, AY, and SO and here is my imput

AW is a great color but yes it will blend its white can go wrong with it...

YMB if you want attention and dont mind it get it... GOT TO LIKE BLUE

AY if you REALLLYYY want attention then this is IT great color but man they will see you from miles away in a good way it looks great....

SO if you like attention but at the same time a not so over top in your face color. its a perfect blend !!

Btw with YMB, AY, SO anyone right of way will now that its an M car... with AW its more of wait 335I, 435I oh noo its an M4 or M3

hope this helps

Except, of course, you cannot get SO any longer without an additional 5k for individual.

I do agree though, it's a color that is a quintessential "M" color.......bold but not over the top.

That looks better than I thought... I'm scared of the AY/SO combination because in my head it just looks like ronald mcdonald. Thank you for sharing.

It makes me glad I got my SO M4 when I did!

Black interior instead of SO, but come on how is this not money?

Trust me, it stands out in that sophisticated kind of a way

[ABSSF80]

Have you considered moonstone?

[cars88]

I had doubts too for a second, then my build locked in that afternoon... It's easy after that point!

I also always order cars black or gray this time around I when with AY an I love it, it's been 7 months and I'm still in love with the color every time I see it, when my wife found out I was getting a yellow car she hated the idea until she saw the car in person now she really likes it she tells me she won't buy it for her because of all the attention you get. Any color you choose you will love the car.

Ay Is Not Too Bad. :d

Amen. Same with Yas or any color. You'd better look at it and say "LOVE!" or it'll get old in a hurry or worse, you'll come to hate it. That's an expensive mistake. Go with your gut.
