All up to personal preference i reckon mate. A fresh coat of red always looks stunning, but personally the colour 'alpine white' is growing on me.

Or you could go the complete other way and spray it a colour that BMW didnt do. My brother has just got an e36 M3 in estoril blue and that is just amazing!
