What is YOUR ideal color combination for an E46 'vert? POLL...

As the title states...

POLL is for YOUR dream car, NOT what you own. For me, even though I love TiAg, I have to pick Alpine White/Red/Blk,...with a stick, & in M3 model denomination. But let's face it,..the odds of finding that are next to nil, especially w/ LOW mileage, & owned by a doctor or dentist, & been sitting mostly inside a garage most of its life. :dream:

So,...for now, lets's remove the model denomination (M3, 330ci, 325ci, etc) as well as drivetrain (Steptronic, SMG, stick) & stick to interior/exterior color combination. Note: Black exterior means all various black shades. I am not well versed w/ the various exterior Blacks or Silvers, so if you do not see the black or silver or dark charcoal or frozen gray, etc, exterior listed, simply post so Poll can be amended, before you post your poll response.

Few notes (some personal, so please excuse):

1. I love TiAg, only b/c it screams BMW, & I own a TiAg/Blk/5spd vert, but I wouldn't want another TiAg,..been there done that....need color next E46,per discussion w/ girlfirnd.
2. I would reeeally love to have an Alpine White/Red/Blk vert
3. All verts, to me, should be MANUAL, as I've had to put up with driving Chrysler gray interior auto minivans for years, but those days are now over
4. Dove Grey interiors remind me of my Chrysler minivans, so grey not a best interior choice for me at least, so poll likely skewed. Also, many members here have stated grey is dull & boring. I think Grey only looks good w/ TiAg, & possibly, in a stretch, LSB
5. Cinnamon interior is the best,....we ALL know that.....so com'on. But lets be fair to other members' interior choices. Not sure what best EXT color would be w/ cinnamon? Black? Alpine? ...others?....post comment
6. Most members, from posts, don't care for TAN/SAND interiors, so don't be upset if POLL doesn't have that interior color listed
7. Don't see a color combination in POLL? Post, & I will amend

2 things:

(a) SMUUUUV,...you are not allowed to post comments b/c your color combo is uncommon & awesome & your mods are also awesome....so you just get to vote if you were to start afresh, as if you could order a brand new vert from the dealer, price no object.
(2) DropTopKing,..u also, are not allowed to post comments, as your color combo is awesome, & I am jealous. But, as above w/ SMUUUUV, you "may vote", if you wish.

Let's have some FUN with this...what say?


EDIT: this is a MULTIPLE POLL,....so you may pick MORE than 1 (I hope I did that right when posting).
EDIT: this poll in anonymous, meaning you may choose, but your choice(s) is not public knowledge.
EDIT: AAAAAND.....most important, feel free to POST a PIC or 2 of a color combo of your choice....one that is listed in poll ..or not.......it'll make this thread more interesting, non?

Love those SSR wheels! I've long thought that if/when I get a BBK for mine I'd get these wheels just to better show off the brakes.

Dream combo. Came on the market a month after i picked up mine.
Gorgeous. Too bad the States don't get the same color options you guys do. What are the official names of those colors? Hard to tell if that's Estoril or some other shade of blue.

I've always loved my color combo (tiag w/black) but if I had to do it again, I probably wouldn't. I love carbon fiber but it doesn't really go with the color. My CF hood looks hideous on my car. In photos, black rims and tinted tail lights always look so good on tiag but once in person, it doesn't look good at all.

Agreed 100%

SilverGray is dark enough to be considered, not trying to be biased since it wasn't my first color choice, but it is much darker than TiAg so it really grew on me. However, my first couple choices are as follows... and cinnamon and imola are the only two interiors worth getting (non-bmw individual)

Imola Red on Cinnamon, gorgeous color combo
SilverGray or SteelGray on Imola
Interlagos Blue on Cinnamon
LSB on Cinnamon (coupe only)
Alpine on Imola
Alpine on LSB
