Anyone regret getting Titanium Silver or Sparkling Graphite?

I’ve seen TiAg, Sparkling Graphite, Monaco Blue, Arctic Blue, White, Red, and Black at different dealerships. I thought the TiAg, with Sport Package, looked sharp – easy to see the E90 body shaping.

My previous ride was a Steel Gray E46 330xi, a color I really liked on that car.
It looks like the Sparkling Graphite is similar, but with less gray and more purple or brown hints, depending on the light. I like the SG, too. So, I’m deciding between TiAg and SG.

I’ve enjoyed searching through the posts and pics on E90Post.com.
Thanks for your input!

I am really pleased with my TiAg 330i. It really does look awesome and the lines of the E90 are really highlighted. It still looks nice and shiny even with a bit of dirt!! I wouldn't have picked any other colour. I've seen two SG's on the road and they look dull with normal road dirt on them. However SG does look great when its washed and waxed.

TiAg is the best looking color on E90's I did not go with it because my E46 was TiAg. I like SG, but too many were ordered in that color. I . I like the red a lot but it is a little over the top. The tail lights blend rigth in and rear looks very nice. Black way to hard to keep looking nice in NJ. I did not like the artic untill I was on my way to AC and I saw one with light tint and all clean. Nice color but sometimes it looks girly. I went with AW, cant go wrong with white plus I love the way it looks with the sports package. Color was hard for me to pick on this car.

I was happy (and still will be I hope) with my Tit Silver 330i, and yes, my E46 323Ci is also silver.

Car is due here this week from my E.D. trip to Munich last month.

Am I missing something here? I didn't think TiAg was available on the E90?

Its the much sought after Silver-Grey that's unavailable on the E90.

Maybe you are confused?

I am glad I took Titanium Silver over SG... I waited 2 extra days ... SG looks great clean but gets dirty fast. The silver looks great all the time.

I love my SG. It is a very different color (my last car was silver). It does get dirty easier but the dirt only looks bad after rain when it gets blotchy otherwise it isn't noticable - I also wash it weekly and it is beautiful clean. I liked the older 3 series in TiAg but not the E90 because I like the detailing around the grill and you can't see it in TiAg so I think that color actually takes away from the shape of the car. The only two colors I was considering were SG and black.
I did love that steel gray you had but the deepness of the SG I think is much better on the E90

I originally ordered Jet Black, but my bonehead buddy at the dealership screwed up and some other dealership took my order...Either way I ended up with a Titanium Silver, silver interior, black leather....
Ive become in Love with this combonation...The silver with tints is incredibile and its true, once the car gets somewhat dirty, it still looks good!!!!
