Space Gray Metallic vs Alpine White

dailydoseofk · 02-12-2009, 07:39 PM

For a 335xi with Chestnut brown leather? Is chestnut brown more on the reddish side?

02themax · 02-12-2009, 07:50 PM

AW for sure

I drive a space gray but I wanted an AW

I'm in the same pickle. I really like both colors, but as of recent, I've started leaning toward Space Gray because it will probably still look great many years down the road. Metallic paints tend to keep their looks better than simple white does. I know white paints and the protective coatings have come a long way, but this is a big investment for me, so I want to do what will last longer. Plus, I think it'll look better with the lighter interior that I want.

I guess this is an e90? Not very noticeable but the chesnut brown tends to look a big redish depending on light conditions. I think it will look good with AW. What trim are you looking to get? I have space gray, with dark burl trim, and saddle brown and I love it. I think chesnut will look great with either paint color.
