LOL Black Touring

[JC3series]

I'm kind of liking the bronze idea. give it a bit of zing. Or even an anthracite type color (dark grey)

[cmgreensr]

Silver on black or not on the poll but I would maybe do gunmetal with polished lips.
Just my .02

[Tre0Tre34]

Yes... Gunmetal finish would look great with your black paint job. In fact that is what I plan to do for summer wheels.

Second would be the bronze, but I feel that would be better reserved for a white car.

[M Quick]

White!

[e34Croak]

Black, Murrrrda Touring.

[Psykick5]

Stock colored M-Parts are the way to go.

[staystackin]

I really want flat white m-pars. Considering doing that to mine in the future. Go ahead and do it so I can decide if I like it before dropping some coin haha :buttrock

[bmwsone01]

Charcoal gray or gunmetal or black chrome, like my friend's below:

[Jungerishere]

If on black E34, go with gunmetal.

Gunmetal is not listed on your pole, not sure if this color qualifies as grey since grey doesn't look good without metallic in it, imo...

[84318i]

Charcoal gray or gunmetal or black chrome, like my friend's below:

+1

[ARMAN]

gun or black, blach for winters would be probably my choice

[cincyE34]

Silver!

[imhighlander]

pink. You know you want to.

[Justin6745]

pink. You know you want to.

go with that, or baby blue with fake diamonds embedded on the lip :woot:




the obvious choice is gunmetal, or leave them stock colour

[JC3series]

Charcoal gray or gunmetal or black chrome, like my friend's below:

love it!!

[530transam]

[PetesHelga]

I've got Satin Silver powder coated M-Par reps on my car. They get everybody's attention, especially other M-Par owners.

You must really like the look of brake dust dirtied wheels. With flat & white wheels they'll be dirty quick and won't clean up well being flat...

+1...been there done that with the white wheels on the MINI my wife used to have. They weren't flat white, but still very difficult to keep clean.

[staystackin]

Even if you wax them? I mean I think it'd look great. My front brakes (bbk, bought that way) literally give off no dust. And my rears could use new pads and rotors so I could go ahead and switch to some majorly dust free pads...

I mean I'd like to do this, but I've got alot I'll do before anything like that.

Good point tho, thanks. Hadnt exactly thought of that.

The hardest thing was keeping the inside rim of the white wheels clean. Low dust pads might help, but when the car was driven in the rain, the dust was more prone to stick to the wheels, especially the inside rim.

[staystackin]

The part behind the face? As in.. the part of m-systems thats black (not the five spoke, behind that)? That might be cool to do, black insides with white faces and lips. Your satin silver looks awesome though, looks almost like a middle ground of gunmetal and hyper silver.

[daleyswanson]

Baby blue. Do it.

You can't wax a flat finish. If it was gloss, sure. A flat white finish would probably only last a day or two before it was permanently stained by brake dust.

You want white, go for it. But make it gloss white and wash & wax them frequently.

[mikemxbike4]

Silver or black. Polished would be the best imo

[OneTwo]

Black.

(I'm biased)

[e34DD]

So far im liking Gold,white,Black,Grey...

[skittle34]

I went with orange cause why not? winter beaters are meant to be beat

[e34DD]

Can someone photo shop orange m parrs..

[RVAE34]

I had a set a while back that I had powdercoated in hyper silver. Thought it was the best looking finish I have ever seen on the M par.
