Get it metallic again, but with extra siver sparkle or something, but nothing to obvious or pike, just a nice individual colour.

agreed!!! by far the sexiest colour, EVER!!

ali, dont get carbon black, its f*cking gay! every single tosser with an E46 M3 has got Carbon Black! its a horrible colour.

and i agree with Chris W, sapphire black metallic is a lovely colour too, its like an 'up-to-date' version of diamond black.

Jet black, like neils cab is nice too

I love the jet black, think thats what i had on my 323i, very hard work but looks stunning when clean.
Cant go wrong with diamond shwartz though.

I had my Tech 1 Sport re-sprayed in E36 Cosmos Black by the local BMW dealership. They made a superb job and it turned out beautifully. Wish I still had pics of the old girl... Cosmos Black is more 'black' than the original Diamond Schwartz that it was originally... it looked so much better. 8)

It looks good and doesn't look non-original either. Good choice! 8)

cosmos black is good, but you gotta make sure you keep it smooth and lovely, coz it can look really flat after a while. diamond black is jst such a gorgeous colour, that i dont hink i could bare to change it if i got it resprayed!
