Whatever you do, don't get graphite, its a horribly ugly color and Impossible to keep clean, not to mention nobody likes it, and girls think its ugly too.

both graphite or black are fine choices ... but i wouldn't exactly call graphite "unique".
the black red combo? i'm worried you *might* get tired of the red, although it would be different ...

Montego Blue. I'm loving it so far. Haven't seen another one in person yet so I would consider it unique. If you're older you might not like the color.

Montego blue, also, although it is a little darker than I prefer. Dealer had a 328i coupe with the cream beige/dark wood interior and I loved the light, spacious look. Sanity prevailed about keeping beige carpet clean and I chose saddle/dark wood.

Has anyone seen a coupe in Arctic? I like it on my sedan, it hides the dirt pretty well and it keeps you guessing as to the color due to it changing between a blueish and greenish silver.

That red interior does look pretty hot.

LOL, riding in a car with that combo, I'm afraid I'd have to wear shades all the time.

I love the Graphite with Black.. very clean, I went with dark burl wood to mix it up... just make sure there aren't like 5 others in the road in the area and you're good!

I had a 98 328is black on black and loved it, then went to the white on tan 328is to change it up a bit and i like the brightness and openness of it but i feel white on the new coupe looks too much like a rich daddy's girl car or tennis playing wife. Black is always classic but i want to try something different. The bright blue is a sick and fairly unique color but i feel as though i would get sick of it after a while. I haven't found a reason to dislike the graphite yet and it looks real mean in person so im leaning to it. as of friday my dealer only had 3 slots left for 07 335 coupes. i dunno if he was just saying that to push the sale but i checked with all the tristate dealers and all told me similar stories so i will go in this friday and pray for the best.

If you're ordering it, consider the lemon interior, especially with montego blue. It looked amazing. The carpet/seat backs are still black, which are the main dirt showing spots. I couldn't bring myself to order it, although I really liked the look of it, it just wasn't me.

I hope it is leased, because trying to sell it will be harder than selling a used pair of underpants.

I guess it depends, some people like flashy things, others prefer a classic look. I can't really say that I'm crazy about it, but I do see myself driving that if I was 20 yrs younger

I hope I'm 20 years younger, cause I love the Montego blue/coral combo. Anyone know how to order this combo for euro delivery? (I can live with a little controversey).
