cosmos or alpine white 95 M3

[dARksiDEe36]

im ready to buy my car... finally... well theres an Alpine M waiting rite now or i could wait a little longer and find the right Cosmos... just wanna know what u guys think. thanks for voting, happy holidays, peace.

It is your car. Why do you care what others think. If you must know, I would take cosmos.

[dARksiDEe36]

yeah i know, im kind of at the point where a poll would be a interesting to look at... its not the deciding factor of what color i will get.

[Polo M3]

Just remember, Cosmos is german for 'Wash me every day'

[tweekedmint]

No, cosmos is german for "this car dominates." white is boring, go for the smooth and sexy black.

Black on an M3 looks really bad, no offense to those who currently own a cosmos E36... I have had (4) bimmers titled under my name in the last two years, the first was alpineweiss, then red, black, and now again red - the black car was a low mileage cosmos M3, there was nothing wrong with this car with the exception of the color, here is a brief outline of the story:

About a year ago (give or take) I got a very good deal on a low-mileage cosmos '95 and purchased it, I didn't like cosmos on an E36 M3 (it makes it look too plain imo), but the owner had detailed the car so it was looking perfect, and I saw it and fell in love - I purchased it mainly thinking I would fall in love with the color, but the sad truth is unless you stay on top of the car 24/7 it will look like crap, the slightest dirt will show up on cosmos, it is a black car - 30 minutes after you are done cleaning it you will see dirt...

I ended up selling this car to my brother and buying a hellrot (best E36 color, imo) M3 with a few more miles (79K vs. 47K)... The top (3) colors on an E36 M3 are hellrot, estoril, and dakar - this is a sports car, in black it looks just like everything else on the road, and it is a bitch to keep clean. Alpineweiss looks decent with clears, but again it wouldn't be my first choice... From someone who has owned both colors, don't buy a cosmos M3.

everyone is entitled to their personal preferance...

I have owned both colors, have you?

[325Fan]

I like white better.

[Moteursport]

Black is classic, white is sporty.

[Proteinbeast]

Hmm, i really like both colors.

White is easier to keep clean, looks hotttt with new rims (works great esp w/ACS IMO). It also doesn't show off swirl marks like black cars are cursed with.

But black cars just look evil, if i had a black car i'd throw down for some HREs, black w/polished lip and call it a day for exterior mods.

But, as someone stated erlier, black and white tend to blend in more. Personally i like colors that are more vibrent (hence me getting estoril). But i really like the blues, Avus is superhot too. Although i've never been a huge fan of dakar it does look pretty sweet...and hellrot looks just plain awesome.

you don't need to own both cars, just see em enough. yeah white and gray hold dirt better, but they're also boring as hell.

[dARksiDEe36]

hahah well thanks for everyones opinions... ive had a shwartz II E36 and loved it because it was like whoa after a nice wash, and i had a pearl white S14 which wasn't bad, if i wasn't getting a 95 i would opt for the Estoril/Dove Grey... but yeah... we shall see what happens. Thanks again for your opinions.

[Kompressor]

Which do you like better?

Alpine is a very nice color with some exterior mods. Black looks gorgeous until you have to wash it every few days.

[dARksiDEe36]

i dont mind washing my car, i tried to wash my babee every week. I rarely washed the S14 cause i dunno i just didn't love the white. Seeing the aftermath of washing a black car is soo rewarding... until 30 min later the dusts settles. But because i used to own a black bimmer, ima lil bias towards cosmos.
