Thanks, Dave, but all the colours in the past looked good/not so good based on how they showed the line off, etc, my opinion was based not so much on colour but also that it was a car and the particular styling qualities and cues of that car. The 3 is just so unique, I find that my decision making process doesn't seem to hold here.

Ironically, it's the colours you don't seem to like that I gravitate towards: The gunmetals (metallics) work with the industrial/aircraft quality of the design...I think the red pleated interior would look great, black (with anthracite pleats stitched black)b/c it's, well, black and monochrome is cool and would show off the chrome bits. And navy metallic (again with red pleats) b/c it's just my favorite colour.
