matte/sattin black will look lame on a stock car, I've seen it on a 335i and I laughed. Id go with white IMO or silver, but thats me. or Id do a crazy color: orange, light blue, race green.

MB had a satin/matte white E63 Wagon and a SLS at the Paris Motor Show last year and they were stunning in person.
But I heard maintenance is a PITA. Bird droppings, tree sap etc. need to be cleaned off the surface quickly to prevent staining. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

That being said, I do like black. But just want it to be different to the norm.

As for white... I think I'd go for either grey or black which were the two colours I was tossing up for my car. A white car will look like a wedding car (and too similar to previous car). Only good thing about white to me though is the black roof which looks fantastic. This is what I had wrapped on my Evo from same place:

Can't comment on how it would look on a C class but I saw a bone stock 328 yesterday wrapped in black matte and it looked god awful.
The satin white is more attractive to me...
