New Paint

I'm thinking about painting my whole car due to all the imperfections and to fix the damage from someone side swiping me. Right now I really am set on the Lambo Ballon White, but I want to get other opinions. Thanks in advance guys.

If you aren't completely set on white then I had a friend who got his 3 series painted Dodge PXS. It looked really good (especially in the sun) because of the metallic in the paint. Just thought I'd let you know.

I like white. You can see the car accents, curves, and details better with white imo. White goes great with carbon fiber parts and black accents.

You do understand that a proper repaint in a different color will cost in the vicinity of $10k and make resale virtually impossible, right?

10k? Haha and who wouldn't want a lambo white BMW either I'm just messing with you I happen to have a friend that owns a shop so it won't be costing me 10k as far as resale idk how that all works but I don't plan on selling the car anytime soon.
