If u haven't seen this, try to look at it. It's the color codes & names for all BMW cars from 2004 above. I bet u'll found ur dream color. Space grey looks nice too. The link HERE
the "pearl" is depends on the owner taste..but the basic paint must be at least 2k paint..pearl can be "add on" depending on the owner's taste..for example if u put phantom or saphire black, u can add on pearl green so that it will look green when in the sun or in dif angle..my fren he doesn't like black with pearl green therefore he added black with pearl golden..some of the paint already added with pearl for example gen2 orange, its already mixed with light pearl orange on top of its 2k metallic orange..so it depends on the painters creativity/skills..here is some picture of E90 M3 sedan with space gray..have a nice look bro! :top:
he like gray and white as well, but worried coz people said too much users alphine white..coz it looks sweeeeeeeeet that's why people demands...anyway if u want to look classy go for gray if u fancy ur car look sporty go for white..or cat je bendera malaysia kat body..yeahaaa
