White works in hot countries but just not in the UK. Looks great on a bright, sunny day and questionable on a normal, dreary English day


But for me would have to be red. I just don't do red cars.

Black is the best colour

From what I can see on the configurer Havanna and Sparkling Bronze look pretty awful.

I would have to say Orion Silver Metallic. Looks like faded gold to me

Someone on the US site did some renders of the F31 in various colours - Lizard Green being among the worst.

IMO I think the body kit is just as important as the colour. White looks amazing in M-Sport but in SE, well it's no head turner.

Mind you I haven't seen a bad looking M-sport to date.

No doubt: WHITE.
Closely followed by BLACK (which is not a colour).
Just saw a WHITE F31 320d M Sport. Looks more CREAM and like A FRIDGE ON A TROLLEY.

Just going through the photoshopped images and came across Mineral Grey and showed it to my 9 year old. "Meh, it's ok" was his response. Carried on a bit further and he saw "Estoril Blue" and said "that's the one you should get!"

He's now unimpressed that I've actually ordered Mineral Grey, but what does a 9 year old know?! (he says putting on his tin hat! )

That's a decent effort on photoshopping, but it's not very representative of the real colours. Mineral Grey and Havanna look MUCH nicer than those pics show. Personally I think EB works best for the M Sport - partly looks, partly exclusivity. Although MG is also a grand colour.

Liquid blue has to get the crown for 'why?' though.

Not a fan of silver or black. Prefer EB2, MG, White. I'd have gone for Mineral White if it were possible.
