Had black 320i SE for 2yrs, great colour, showed off the wheels to their best. Now running/parked up 320i Delphin, I find it shows up any scratches more easily :-x

E30 in dolphin grey must be mint and shiny otherwise it looks like a dog. If it is mint and shiny it looks expensive.

Black.......always looks good!

My preference is with dolphin grey.
