+1

My car is Basalt and I have had 3 other pure Black cars before. Basalt is a little better than pure Black and I'm sure keeping the Midnight looking clean would be just as much work as Basalt.

My votes:

1st Meteor/Brown
2nd Basalt/Brown (sorry I just don't like the Terra Cotta, way too much orange)
3rd Midnight/Brown

You are correct ! I missed that on the order sheet they sent. It had the Sirus and the Nav, but no Bose I guess.

THIS!!!

I've had 2 black cars ('97 Grand Cherokee Ltd and '04 M3 cab), silver ('00 Civic Si), red ('01 Prelude), and white ('05 M3 cab).

The feeling of seeing the polished black at sunset was unmatched by any of the other colors. Agreed, PITA to keep it that shiny but WAY more rewarding to look at it, and the heads the blackness would turn especially at sunset. Like driving a mirror around.

I'm leaning on the silver with red now...loving my white M3, always dreamed of a black Porsche, but there's just something epic abt a silver. Want the red interior for a change from the tans I've had.

Midnight blue with black is phenomenal. I get compliments on how pretty it is almost daily.

No bias here but I'll vote Blue with Natural. LOTS of positive feedback in my long 7 weeks of ownership....

Mine is black and I have no trouble keeping it immaculate. It's a 2010 and it has looked fabulous for 95% of the 1700 miles I have put on it.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong . I have a black car and it gets washed every two to three weeks by someone else. Looks great to me. But then again, i'm not OCD - I even drive it daily and in the rain
