I am looking to order an MCS in the near future and had an issue with getting a dark color. I am open to getting BRG or black but was unsure if it would show scratches/dirt easily and drive me crazy.

I have always owned silver cars due to the fact they dont show dirt/scratches. However, I think silver has gotten a little bland to me. I was thinking of something more exciting and different.

Thanks!

 

Dark colors will ALWAYS show paint flaws/dirt more than silver/white cars. Just a cruel reality. But when they're clean and waxed, you just can't beat a black (or in my case dark blue/black) car.

And +1 on silver cars. My M5 is silver. Great car. Bland color.

 

I have the new midnight black metallic on my '09 R56. Like Tom said it will show flaws much more easily. However, when it's freshly detailed and maintained the finish is jaw dropping I think there are way too many CR, DS, and BRG Mini's out there. Be different or get a custom paint job LOL!
