Cobalt Blue or Midnight Blue would get my vote...

Edit: ...or even BMW's own Carbon Black would look great.

definitly a sweet color....Red would also be a good choice but if you painting it then go for a color you wont see on future e70 models. I bet money that BMW will come out with something like the Imola Red or similiar. IMO i would choose a light evergreen color so it stands out alot more than a dark color.

If I could choose any color, it would be the Carbon Black. Doubt that that can be done outside BMW factory though.

Add a white stripe and it's "Starsky & Hutch" for the 21st century.

I'm sure a good paint shop could do it, why not?

If you like red, go with some House of Kolor Candy apple red paint with lots of metal flakes.
