I am planning on buying 325xi. Does anybody know what new exterior colors is BMW planning on adding in 2002. I would really appreciate a reply.

Don't think the 325 will be out in 2002... 330 and 323

325isrob is wrong. Sorry buddy. For 2002, BMW is offering two engine types, a 2.5L 184 HP I-6 and a 3.0 L 225 HP I-6.
Now about the colors, BMW is offering for the 2002 3 series model line:
Oxford Green Metallic
Black Sapphire Metallic
Orient Blue Metallic
Titanium Silver Metallic
Steel Blue Metallic
Steel Gray Metallic
Topaz Blue Metallic
*Gray Green Metallic* (new for 2002)
Alpine White
Electric Red
Jet Black

My 2002 330i has titanium silver on black leather interior. In my opinion, I think that the orient blue metallic is the nicest, followed closely by black sapphire. Nothing looks nicer than a Black Bimmer!!! Good luck.

Every BMW that I've owned has been silver w/ black interior. I guess I am in a rut, eh? :flash:

I dropped my car off at the shop tonight for servicing.... the loaner they gave me is the dark grey color with red interior. I have to tell you, I surprised myself by REALLY liking it.

Good luck with whatever you choose.

Yeah- you're right. Most stock BMW's are silver with black interior. Not only do most people like it, but it also looks the most classy. My '02 330i is silver with black. My second favorite is orient blue with tan interior. I find that red interior (especially the cinnamon leather) is offensive.

Well, I don't know if I'd say "offensive".....

.... but I know what you mean. I think the red interior in this loaner is nice just from the novelty standpoint, but I certainly don't think I'd fork over cash for it on a permanent basis.

The loaner, by the way, is a 325Xi Wagon. I'd never even looked inside one of the wagons before. Although it screams "Baby On Board," the extra cargo room IS impressive. Another pleasant surprise.
