Hey guys so i am like a couple of days away from getting my new baby( 2008.5 Mazda 3 GS base moedl), but i dont know what colour to pick!
i told the dearship black, because since i am getting the base model, i wanted everything to look the same
But i am second guessing myself now, i mean i am 22 yrs old and a female do i really want a black car or should i go with something flashy? and more eye grabbing?

whats colour looks the best for an M3? yes, i know this question is highly subjective but i just want to know what people think.

Anyone have a black M3?

Well it is really up to you and what you like...

With that said, some colours have advantages/disadvantages. Black shows dirt, scratches and sweral marks very easily and tends to fade a lot over time. However, other colors that are flashy can also draw unwanted attention for police or theives. Silver is a good color to hide dirt, scratches, and looks low key, however... its an old persons color lol...

get red or white is hot. Blue is pretty cool too. Something different from boring Black or silver

White is sexy for a girl... Black too, but it does show scratches, swirls easily, however, when black is polished and waxed it looks the BEST by FAR!!!

nothing shines more in the day and night more then black IMO.

But do your thing.

White adds 10+whp and is therefore faster than all other colours - would make a good Mythbusters episode!!! :chuckle:loco:chuckle

awww guyyysss ! i already had a white car and hated the hell out of it. Thats why i am so against white. It gets dirty so fast! But the white M3 does look sexy! but i can see myself hating it after a month!

I'm biased of course, but the Metropolitan Grey is pretty nice. It tends to change colours depending on the time of day and sun versus shadows....

I would never get another black car...shows the grime too quickly....

My thoughts exactly. NOTHING looks better than a clean, black car with some nice tints. Am I biased? A little, but I'd say that no matter what colour car I had. The problem is it DOES get dirty very easily. Impossible to keep it immaculate, unless you don't mind washing your car every day...

This is true but you're a girl...you get lower insurance anyway

I vote black or white, you can do the most with those colours mod-wise.

I vote black as well. I was in a similar position 2 months ago, black or white, and very happy I went with black. And in regards to dirt/dust that accumulates, if you get a quick detailing spray, give the car a light mist and wipe, it looks freshly waxed! very happy with the metallic black.
cheers

For the model you are getting the Black will be the nicest as the unpainted door handles will blend into the car a little.

Too bad they don't make Winning Blue anymore.. now that is one sexy looking colour.

Winning Blue was very nice. Much nicer than Electric Blue Mica which I have. Oh well....Such is life :)

Red

Hi. I am new to this site, I have had my M3 for 12 days and I absolutely love it. I have a True Red and would have to say, this is the best colour, stands out and looks fabulous.
