What would you rather ithaca green or white

Hi everybody,
I got tired of my matte gold exterrior color and do seriously think about repainting my car.

Colors that could be interesting are:

Ithaca green ( lamb's green )

white ( factory E92 )

Now wich paintjob would you rather?

Thanks for your help shop is ready in two weeks to do the magic.

As for me I tend to green BUT I'm not sure if I like to be the center of attraction any longer.
For a certain time it was fun...but then it just starts to get annoying, you know what I'm talking about, these screaming and panty throwing ladies lol

I'd say green. A lot of white M3s out there plus I think green goes well with the shape of the car.

M3 will be maybe painted in ithaca green
The reason:
If my car would have been painted white, my grey seat's wouldn't match, well at least for me, I wouldn't like it.

Now that I probably wiill go for ithaca green IMO the seat's would look almost white, wich would really give the car a nice touch!

So exterrior is not enough and I think I will bring the green somewhere into the interrior, wich interrior part's would you also benefit with that color, without getting it to look to tacky?

Thank's

I can see the matte gold being a tough color to enjoy, but repainting a car like this would vastly diminish the resale value. I suggest vinyl wrap it in a color of your choice or sell it off and buy one in the color you want.

So it's painted white in the interim before green. Should have left gold and done green wheels.
