I had the same view of Matte Paint prior to buying my First Edition. I think it’s a pretty widely held misconception that it’s a nightmare to look after and quickly suffers from degradation. Frozen Orange was the only colour I wanted. Mines over two years old now and done 12500 miles and looks as good today (if not better) as it did the day I got it. I’ve mentioned it on other discussions that it’s the easiest car I’ve ever had to look after, as long as you use the right products. I have no concerns whatsoever that it’ll continue to look as good in the long term as it does now.
For me it has to be red. Look at the pictures at the start of this thread. If you go blue, then I personally would avoid black wheels. Polished or diamond cut wheels on this colour for me. You could also consider a wrap to have a really individual colour that you really like. I am guessing, but I feel that it could be done for less than £5000.ronk said:

That’s the thing Ron, on the M40i’s they’re not silver like the ones on this post, they’re more a greyish finish, which is nice but I personally think the red goes better with silver wheels.
The other consideration for us was we wanted the black grills etc so that came with the pack with black wheels.
As discussed before it’s all down to personal choice and when Rosemary tells you what yours is you can place that order :wink:
It does really suit the car. Kathleen was dead set against black wheels but like you wanted the black trim elsewhere. She decided on the shadowline pack and accepted the wheels came as part of that. I’m not a huge fan of black wheels myself but think they go well with the blue

Yep, I like VO in the e89 and white is the second best colour IMHO - other call it poverty spec white

Not certain white looks good on the G29, black is the same but red / blue look great IMHO - I think suites the e89 where as silver or grey suits the e85
