I dunno... why can't they just make one white and call it a day?
And when I think of MW vs AW I think "you're a fucking idiot". Enough already!

Haha... good point.

Though, if I could get one in Dakar Yellow, I'd do that instead! Hell, I wish you could order the M Sport with Valencia Orange. I would've absolutely jumped on that one.

Finally saw my first one in the "real", a MG M235i at the dealers in the town I am staying in for the next several weeks. I have to say, I can't understand the attraction of MG, as I consider it a boring color for that car. Color is so personal, I know.
I see this car in red, blue, black or white, not MG, MW or silver. Just my opinion.

Are you saying you were able to order Valencia Orange for the M235i or are you talking about the 228i model?

I saw my local dealer's black sapphire metallic tonight - it looks really good in this color. I also saw a 228 in AW - and the lines look very nice in white as well.

I just realized basiluf didn't take into account 228 buyers when he started this poll because they have a much wider selection of colors than M235 buyers do. Don't understand why BMW couldn't make the M235 available in those 6 other colors...especially when 3 of them are actually really classy looking.

Yeah for some reason I didn't check to see if the 228i came in different colors. I tried to go back and add more colors to the poll but I couldn't figure out how. If a mod can edit my original post and add the other colors that would be awesome.

I've now had a chance to actually see the M235i in AW and BSM. Surprisingly, the AW didn't seem to suit the car (not menacing enough looking), whereas the BSM looked better. I suspect that going in between the two (i.e., MG) is the best bet. If u decide to go white, however, I'd definitely pay the extra for the MW over the AW. I suspect that's the only reason that AW white is fairing much better than MW in this poll. Will vote soon once I see the MG.

If you are truly that interested in finding an idiot, try looking in the mirror.

Estoril Blue on Dakota Red.

Went back in forth about 1000x times, even had the dealer change the official order until a friend let me in his 2013 Estoril on Dakota M5 and was sold.

Superman jokes and all, still the best choice IMO.

Good comeback. And I'll be waiting patiently while everyone else in the world decides the colour of YOUR car. Thankfully, you've eliminated AW which I've actually been considering and it looks fantastic on those who've got them already. And you've outdone yourself by figuring out that one of the "greys" is a good compromise between black and white. You must have done well in art. C'mon...you'd look darned good in a Lexus. Go for it!!

Good comeback indeed. I've been driving BMWs for 8 years and counting, and have no plans to switch to the IS350 anytime soon. I'm glad I've heightened your awareness of MW vs. AW, because I'm now convinced as you are that it is far superior to AW arguably on any car. I think MW would go best w Terra interior (so give that serious consideration), or perhaps black interior if u prefer a slightly meaner look. MG again preferably on Terra (or perhaps black) looks even meaner. Tough call between them... hope to see MG in person soon (no substitute for pics).

Now we can continue our silly feud that u started (w/o just cause due to your impatience and intolerance... if u aren't interested in what someone has to say then simply move on... and stop whining to the admin or using profanity) or, preferably, we can discuss said colour combos (via private message if u prefer), so that we both get the M235i exactly the way we want it. That is of course if you are at all serious about getting an M235i in the first place, being an M car dude. I'd much rather make a new friend than to create a new foe... your choice.

Would you prefer your straight-jacket in alpine white or something with a bit more "panache" like mineral white?

And just to clarify, seeing as you've already determined what my colour schemes should be as outlined above, there'll be absolutely NO need to continue our discussions either here or via pm. Take heart in knowing that you've made my upcoming purchase experience that much easier and I thank you!

Sincerely, the "M Car Dude"
