I have white, but I don't like the effect with the front spoler... so I went with gray.

This kind of blue is trendy but I prefer conservative colors.

Photoshop Express on iPhone is actually kinda fun to play around with. Not quite as cool as Snapseed, and probably not as powerful as Enlight, but comparable in many ways to Camera+. Let's see if my Flickr account works better than that ridiculous Photobucket.

Honestly, I'm torn. I love the white, red and blue about equally. I won't own a black car so I've ruled that one out even though it looks really sharp when clean. I like the gray but agree with others about the dark wheels not offering enough contrast. I'll cast my vote after more contemplation.

Before buying I previewed every color, but red (I'm really not a red car guy). Eventually I settled on white. Though it's labeled BWP to my eyes the color is much richer than what I viewed as the flat BWP color used for 2015-2017. Really beautiful up close. Very luminescent. I keep reading that dealers, I conclude in Canada, are asking $500 for the white. That's not the case in the US where there is no markup that I'm aware of.

Crystal Black Pearl getting no love - Only 2/30 votes.
I love my Black 2013 TL but I'm torn between white, blue, and grey on the A-SPEC.

I saw that in real (dealer had all colors A-Spec). Too bad that I can't change my vote.

Not sure if I would like to live with it, but frankly the red was a stand-out, IMO.

BMW has the blue but if they had the Acura or Mazda CX5GT color red my new car would be red instead of dark Gray

Have seen all the colours but the blue in person. I do like the white and red in person, but in pics, my choice would be the blue - and I have never owned a blue car. It's a great looking car, so all the colours work.

Males seem to be overly drawn to blue cars. I'm surprised White is in 2nd place though.

The BWP on the 2018 is the same BWP on the 2017. There is no flat white BWP, at least not in the U.S. market. I guess people see what they want to see. The black carpet is also the same but may look more plush and dark in the 2018 to some. The 2018 does have a lot of nice changes but the BWP paint is not one of them.

Went to get my oil changed today and walked the lot. They have a good combination of Aspecs. One grey that has been there for over a month. It's the feature car near the front. Hasn't moved at all. They had 4 blue in different combinations of red and black and fwd and awd. They had 3 or 4 black. And a couple BWP One in red fwd and one in black with awd. I was surprised they had so many blue with some people haven't not seen it yet. No red. If I had to buy right now I'd get the BWP awd. Not sure if red or black interior. I'd need to sit in it. The black exterior looks great but no way I'm getting one living on the east coast. Snow will kill it. The blue is nice but it's not me. I havent seen the red in person but I think I'd really like it. But I'm sure I can pull off a red car at 48 (I'm young at heart though!).

My dealer seems to be getting a good supply of Aspecs. Very tempted to pull the trigger. But will wait until after this winter.
