Titanium Silver Metallic 1 Series?
A BMW 1 Series I LCI (E87/E81/E82/E88) in Titanium Silver Metallic, we would run gloss black, gloss black is what most grey cars are missing; it frames the arches and makes the paint look lighter. If not that, gunmetal, gunmetal keeps a grey car tonal and understated, the look you see on the better-specced German stuff.
Stahlblau Metallic 1 Series?
A BMW 1 Series I LCI (E87/E81/E82/E88) in Stahlblau Metallic, we would run silver, silver keeps a blue car clean and classic: never dates, lets the paint be the star. If not that, gunmetal, gunmetal gives a blue car a harder edge without the full contrast of black.
Lemans Blue Metallic 1 Series?
A BMW 1 Series I LCI (E87/E81/E82/E88) in Lemans Blue Metallic, we would run silver, silver keeps a blue car clean and classic: never dates, lets the paint be the star. If not that, gunmetal, gunmetal gives a blue car a harder edge without the full contrast of black.
Carbon Black Metallic 1 Series?
A BMW 1 Series I LCI (E87/E81/E82/E88) in Carbon Black Metallic, we would run gloss black, gloss black on black is the stealth build; the wheel design shows in the light and disappears in the shade. If not that, silver, the classic move: silver lets the wheel design actually show against the dark paint.
Alpine White II 1 Series?
A BMW 1 Series I LCI (E87/E81/E82/E88) in Alpine White II, we would run gloss black, nothing cuts against white paint like gloss black; it turns a plain car into one that looks specced on purpose. If not that, bronze, bronze against white is the motorsport look, warm metal on a clean body, and it photographs brilliantly.
Alpine White III , Alpinweiss III 1 Series?
A BMW 1 Series I LCI (E87/E81/E82/E88) in Alpine White III , Alpinweiss III, we would run gloss black, nothing cuts against white paint like gloss black; it turns a plain car into one that looks specced on purpose.
