My only concerns with space grey are:
- will it be too common? (perhaps not AS common as silver, white & black)
- while being easy to maintain and not show dirt and scratches (as much as darker colors), the flip side of that is will it still show off the effort of a good detail? One of the things I don't like about silver and white typically is the difference between merely "clean" and well-detailed is subtle.
I've always liked RED in general but I wonder if crimson red might be TOO attention grabbing for this car. Do owners of RED cars get more speeding tickets? Higher instance of vandalism?  |
- Not in my experience. I've worked on a lot of 335i's, and the jet black/black sapphire and white alpine guys far outnumber the space grey/sparkling graphite guys. I don't see a lot of SG or TiAG coupes. I see a lot of TiAG sedans.
- That's a tough one. I don't think Space Grey shows off the efforts of a good detail as well as Crimson, JB, BS, Monico or even Montego. That's definitely one of it's downsides.
I'd say yes on crimson and attention. It's tougher to maintain and definitely looks amazing when done right, but keeping in line with that is the attention. It's a tough call.
