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!

i was thinking of a new bmw colour like a gun metal grey with black engine bay or paint it the purple/blue the new M5 comes in

Yes my mate has just bought a '57 plate 320d m sport in a dark blue colour. its one of the best colour BMWs ive ever seen. ive found a pic of it but its not a very good one. What you think:
