320d vs. 320d

I'm confused about two different options of colours and wheels.

What do you suggest?

Sparkling Grapphite with 158 Style wheels?, or

Titanium Silver with 161 Style wheels?

(see pics below)

If you look at the licence plate of that car, it says 'EST', which is Estonia.
I figure it is probably a very basic 316i with black door handles (not painted in body colour).

It used to be more common to see that the entry level models came with black door handles and the premium models had the door handles in body colour.

It just surprises me that such a basic model does not also have simple wheel covers instead of the OEM alloy wheels.

If you're deciding between those two cars, go for the SG, more importantly than the color, it has Xenons, you're going to hate yourself if you went for a car w/o Xenons because of the color. I had the same choice (except it was a 325i) and it was a TiAG 325i w/o Xenons and a SG 325i w/ Xenons, I went w/ the SG w/ Xenons.

Sparkling Graphite. Silver does not look good on the 4-cylinder models , with the black door handles and no chrome options. Unless of course , you're getting a sports pack.........

take the sparkling graphite because it has xenons and you don't see any black door handles. if you can get the 161 wheels on the sparkling graphite, that'll be perfect! but to me, xenons are important. it's too much hassle to do aftermarket xenons. wheels are very easy to replace.

The photos were just for reference. They can be equally equipped (xenon, painted door handles, etc.).

Although I prefer light color, I couldn't live with the black door handles and the SG has Xenon.
