I totallty agree with this..why not have a look and see if there are any differnt shades of silver/grey that would look outstanding?

Carbon Black. Still a BMW colour but sooo much nicer than Diamond black. Different enough to be worth doing without being 'in your face'.

I sprayed my old Tech 1 Cosmos Black, an E36 colour at the time... a bit blacker than Diamond Black but a much nicer colour.

It turned out REALLY nice. It was done by the BMW dealership though and used as a display car for a while...
