    Default Let's no forget granite metallic...my favorite!

    Yeah, so I'm partial. At first, I didn't really like this color that much. But it grew on me!

    this is only because the trim matches the paint colour. all new cars are solid colour; i had my 535 painted one solid colour including trim, door handles, etc and it looks like the e38 7 series now.

    beautiful

    Default I agree. It is not fiscal to repaint a BMW, because...

    cost of a factory quality repaint might exceed $7000. Cheaper jobs will look just that- cheaper.

    If you do repaint, you must repaint in the original color, or your door jams, and under the hood will no longer match the exterior.

    If you don't like the color, simply sell the car and replace it with the color you like. And next time, don't buy a car that you don't like the color.

    I personnally have 2 Black E34's and like that color the best. I have looked at
    at least 100 BMW E34s that have been offered for sale over the last 3 years
    and all the few that had color changes were horrible.

    maybe the colour was not to your liking, that does not mean other people wouldn't like it.

    the black e34 does look the best as mentioned in my previous post only because the trim is also the body colour. i had my car re-painted with emerald green and it is far more beautiful than black. all the trim, door handles, etc was done the same as the body colour and it looks more like an e38 in the profile than it does e34

    Default I think Brown is best, not like metallic or anything

    more like rustolium brown, the regular non high heat color. That rocks!
