absolutely agree. also as mentioned, although black is one of the nicesest colors when clean, it is a real b*tch to keep it that way. some black cars even show fingerprints when u tough it (unlike lighter colors.

white and silver r probably the esiest to keep clean, but no offense to anyone out there, white is non metalic, and silver is almost too popular.
i really like the titanium silver, but went with the space grey for my e93 instead.
