Help me pick the exterior color for 35IS

I am going to build a z4 35IS and I seem to be debating between AW and Space Gray .

My first choice seems to be Alpine White with REd interior and 19" Wheels and second would be Space grey with Red interior and 19's

I have not see AW in person though , like SG but still think AW is sportier, atleast it looks that way in pics

What do ya guys think about AW who have it in that color or seen AW in person?

Also, any TT Roadster owners who have now the Z4 and how does it compare to the TT roadster from a driving feel, and space inside ? I thought the Z4 was little cramped inside


Thanks in advance

Id go for the white if you want to be more flashy and the grey if you want to be more classy/reserved

Since you are going for the is, u should think on how the silver mirrors will fit best with ur colour....

Indeed, before buying the Z4, i was to buy the white TTS -which comes with the silver mirrors- so maybe the AW will be better than the grey in your Z4.
I do own the AW with Red interior, looks classic. The grey looks more "rare" though...

I would go with Alpine White on Red. But then again, most of my previous BMWs have been Alpine White.
White with red is flashy elegance. Gray & silver are on more cars in general especially BMW and is a classic reserve color. There were a couple of BMWs that I had leased not of my 1st choice of color and I always ended up having regrets within a month.

I'd go voor the gray !

I test-drove a TT before the Z4 and I must say that the TT is more cramped than the Z !

For the 35is, I'd go with AW but whatever color you choose, you can't really go wrong. The z4 is such a beautiful car.

I think it depends where you live....white looks great in the warmer countries where the sun is always out and it doesn't get so dirty.
Here in the UK white doesn't stay white for long with our weather, and space grey hides the dirt!!....i know i know, wash it more, but i like driving it not washing it!!
