WHITE???
Moderator: martauto
Depends how fanatic you are about cleaning it. I had a white M3 with 11x17 rear and 9.5x17 fronts and it was fantastic looking, but boy was it hard work keeping it looking that way. If you regularly clean and polish it, then it gleams, but if you dont, the colour will soon dull and look stained and it will not look too good so up to you i guess

As a rule, i hate white cars, but i have to say the E30 does suit it much better than any other car i can think of. I'd still prefer a darker colour though.

Yes, white is cool!
Best white ever is the pearlescent white they used on the quattro.

Trade values say white is not cool, but personally I like it on an E30.

Day to day cars yep, it looks crap, especially as normal cars don't get washed often, but white suits a sports car, RS 500, RS 200, quattro, M3, Lancia Delta, as Jeremy Clarkson said, nonone makes nice white cars anymore and it was considered to be the best colour for a car, he even made reference to the Pearl ur quattro.Brianmoooore wrote:Trade values say white is not cool, but personally I like it on an E30.

Not really a fan of white cars but mine was such good value I couldn't turn it down, was really after a dark blue one. Looks great when freshly cleaned though.
