Dave, I'm trying to decide between CR/W and SS/B for my 2007 MC. But your photos of the SS/W looked quite nice and you mentioned the combination looked great. I'd be curious to know your preference, the SS/W or SS/B? Thank you again for the beautiful photos.

If it were me, I'd go either SS/W or SS/B. They are both excellent choices. CR/W stood out as a good color combination too, but SS was my favorite color on the R56 (waiting to see nightfire red yet).

they were posted over in the Press Launch thread. I'll copy them over here though too.

The silver is nice, however, there was a Mellow Yellow at the Portland International Auto Show. I didn't bring my camera but should have, an Ariel Atom was there, but the Mellow Yellow was not a good color. It looked like a slightly dirty school bus yellow. Just my take.

Dave, thanks so much for your response and pictures regarding the SS/W and SS/B. I find it interesting that when I tell people (the GM at my dealership included) that I'm contemplating SS/W, they all balk at the combination without even seeing it. I've seen your pictures and I think it looks great. Oh my goodness...these decisions are aging me prematurely. :impatient

Thanks.
These pictures show how bad the colors are in the configurator! DS in the configurator looks like these SS images!

SS/B looks really good but I think DS/W is better than SS/W because it has more contrast

I've been tossing around the idea of SS/W for a while and think the reason I'm attracted to it is for the lack of contrast. Plus, this is sorta the only way I'm going to get a scheme close to a PW/W.

Seeing all of Dave's great pictures has only reinforced that SS will be on my next MINI. Now it's a choice of what color to top it off with
