Has this happened to you?

Man I am having a tough morning. I placed my order for an E90 335 sport last week and thought I had everything exactly as I wanted. The hardest decision was color. I decided on Alpinewhite over black leather with aluminum trim. Then this morning, on my way to work an E90 330 sport in Arctic Silver with black interior passes me slowly. Man that was sweet looking. I don't know if it was the pre dawn lighting (almost 7 am on the west coast), but the color looked great. Now I am having anxiety about my color choice....

Anyone else who ordered their car have this problem? Did you second guess your choices? My car goes into production in a week and a half so technically I can still change it.

I had that prob. First I disliked SG, then settled for Silver, then was sick of Silver since it's everywhere, back to SG, then I happened to see Arctic in person and that really helped. Arctic in the showroom at my dealer looks light blue... I ordered Arctic after seeing it in person with that nice grey shade it has, then my dealer happened to get one and when I saw it I was a little worried: "I ordered this?!!!" But seeing it in person is the real deal... I went through tons of pics to make sure I got an idea of the color. I still love SG, but I had to make it my 2nd choice.

Just be sure and narrow it down to 2 colors... White or Arctic... that'll make choosing easier.

BTW, I think white is really sharp, black too, but I didn't get either cos they seem to be the hardest to keep clean.

I am glad I am not the only one. In all honesty, I wanted Montego Blue, but the wife does not like it so its out. I like SG but its too close to our X3 so that was out. I have a TiAg E46 now and am bored of the color, so silver was out too. It came down to White or Arctic. After looking at tons of pics here, I went with white. I don't think I will be unhappy with it, but I also don't want ot kick myself a year from know everytime I see an Arctic car. Such a tough decision.
