Advice on exterior/interior colors for my new 330i

I'm torn between ordering the

metallic black/tanin red leather,
metallic black/black leather, and
metallic gray/tanin red leather.

They all look great. Any advice from those of you who might have these combinations?

Thanks

all about the image

I have black on black in my 330Ci - and I think it "feels" faster. BUT, the black leather is HARD to take care of and is most susceptible to sun damage.

Ya know what is another major problem with getting a black car? Every little bit of dirt, or every little scratch is SO easy to see. And as for the leather fading in the sun....Id hope you're gonna complete your new BWM with some tint on the windows which not only looks good, but also blocks out most of the UV rays with fades the leather....BUT if you do take care of the car and keep it all 100%, it will look AWESOME in black esp at night.....so i thought id give ya a heads up.....I dunno i wouldnt get the silver, or grey just because regardless of the car silver will look good, but it will never look great and really stand out from others....PLUS darker colored cars dont reflect the beams from the speed guns as well (thats why the cops usually aim for yer plates, its flat and reflective) so it might actually save your ass.....

i don't think so... you can't see anything on a black car, you can't even see the lines
if you're talkin bout a white car then, yeah

there's no way you could spot a minor scratch on a black car, unless you're close up, inspecting it.... i think the worst for looking dirty is white

For once I agree with the young lad. Mine is white and it'sa pain keepin it clean. However, white is easier to buff the scratches out of than black.
