1 Series in Stahlblau Metallic, our pick
Stahlblau Metallic on a BMW 1 Series I LCI (E82/E88)? We would go silver, silver keeps a blue car clean and classic: never dates, lets the paint be the star; or gunmetal, gunmetal on blue is the current look, darker than silver but still cool-toned so it sits with the paint.
1 Series in Lemans Blue Metallic, our pick
Lemans Blue Metallic on a BMW 1 Series I LCI (E82/E88)? We would go silver, silver keeps a blue car clean and classic: never dates, lets the paint be the star; or gunmetal, gunmetal on blue is the current look, darker than silver but still cool-toned so it sits with the paint.
1 Series in Carbon Black Metallic, our pick
Carbon Black Metallic on a BMW 1 Series I LCI (E82/E88)? We would go gloss black, gloss black on black is the stealth build; the wheel design shows in the light and disappears in the shade; or silver, the classic move: silver lets the wheel design actually show against the dark paint.
1 Series in Black Sapphire Metallic, our pick
Black Sapphire Metallic on a BMW 1 Series I LCI (E82/E88)? We would go gloss black, gloss black on black is the stealth build; the wheel design shows in the light and disappears in the shade; or silver, the classic move: silver lets the wheel design actually show against the dark paint.
1 Series in Alpine White III, our pick
Alpine White III on a BMW 1 Series I LCI (E82/E88)? We would go gloss black, nothing cuts against white paint like gloss black; it turns a plain car into one that looks specced on purpose; or bronze, bronze against white is the motorsport look, warm metal on a clean body, and it photographs brilliantly.
1 Series in Titanium Silver Metallic, our pick
Titanium Silver Metallic on a BMW 1 Series I LCI (E82/E88)? We would go gloss black, gloss black is what most grey cars are missing; it frames the arches and makes the paint look lighter; or gunmetal, gunmetal on grey is the subtle upgrade, a step darker than the paint so the wheel still reads.
