    Default Paint job, best color?

    What's the best color for an E34?
    Mine is white but i would prefer a new paint job, perhaps 2 tone or pearl white.

    Itīs white, so you can swing all ways!!! Mind that changing color, means also painting the inner parts such as doors, hood, engine compartment, etc. This will probably cost you more than buying the right color E34....

    Only paid Ģ180 for this, that's why i am thinking of pearl white, so i don't have to paint the hidden bits.

    that changes things. Have you got any plans on changing the rims ? With pearly white a drop and some decent wheels should be advisable.

    black is a HORRIBLE color...
    really hard to keep clean, scratches/scuffs are really easy to see
    gets HOT AS HELL in teh sun

    but its oh so gorgeous =]

    i'm a fan of red or blue

    if u two tone, do the ///m color...
    maybe leave white and throw the
    /// stripes across it?
