    Z3 M Coupe POLL Colors and Premiums

    Remember, this isn't a poll about your favorite paint color, rather this is about which colors would you be willing to pay a premium for assuming all things even, you don't own a Coupe (if you do pretend you don't) and you're looking to buy your one and only M coupe.

    Also, we are not taking interior into account so assume it comes with your choice.

    - - - Updated - - -

    apologies for the double 'would' - wish i could edit it.

    Too bad we can't suggest new colors. I like Porsche's Lime Gold Metallic ore the Lexus Matador Red. Like the classiest, best looking woman who turned you down, both are awesome, deep, and memorable. Damn, I need to write for C&D...

    Well, I am a bit thrown off because most of the time if a person would consider paying a premium it would be because it was their favorite color. Right?

    Not necessarily. If black was my favorite color ... I'd still refuse to pay a premium given the amount of them that are out there. In that respect, I wouldn't bother voting knowing there's an abundance of what I'd want.

    I would have voted if there was an option to vote "None" because I don't believe that colors can command a premium (Just my opinion). IMHO, premiums should only be paid for cars that are low-mileage, well-maintained and unmodified and 2001 and up in the case of M coupes/roadsters...it could have the most fantastic color and be a sh1t-box in terms of exterior/interior/mechanics

    I am still interested in seeing the poll results so carry on

    I don`t see what the love is for Evergreen. To me it is a dull color and not sporting at all. But that is just me I guess.

    The three I picked are the three most chosen (evergreen, steel, and laguna seca) ... I guess my opinion isn't as unique as I thought it was.

    What year is your car?
    How many miles?
    What's the number it would take? $ ?

    always interested in knowing what people have and how much they're willing to let it go for.

    I only own 1. With that said, I like Imola Red and his car looks fancy. Figured I'd ask since so often I hear people say they'd "never sell their car" - well everyone has a price, right?
