I'm basically stuck between Palladium and White. Pros and cons for both but I just can't make a final decision. Every time I think I finally have it right, I end up seeing more internet pictures that make me waffle.

Honestly, my whole family is starting to get tired of me asking "Which one you like better?". Can anyone offer some honest input on both colours?

Thanks.

My vote goes for Palladium. I don't think white quite looks right on this car (takes away some of the angles). Palladium will have a little more personality (unless you might be doing heavy mods which can make it a toss-up).

Either way, it's a nice ride!

Morro, go for palladium, will show its lines a little more, plus I hate those dreaded little rust pimples you get with white, every vehicle I have had in white was peppered with those little rust spots, my wifes 2007 BMW 530i was completely covered after six months of use, had to get the car clay barred to remove them, thats why I went with irridium silver for her 09 ML350. Just a thought, if you are anything like me, those things drive me crazy.

Wow, rust spots after 6 months. I suppose they were caused by chips in the paint. With all the sand and pebbles they use in winter here, I'm just asking for trouble. They mustn't sell too many whites then?

Thanks for the input.

The point of my parents against white:
when car starts rust, traces of it will be more visible on white
I had the same colors to choose from

black...definately black

Actually, those little pin sized rust spots are from the brakes, as the brakes will disperse little metal particles, this is normal, but you will only notice on a white car. I have a 2008 DOdge Ram white, this thing looks infected, I am going to have it detailed and clay barred as this is the only way I know of removing them. But rest assured it is not actual rust form the car.

i did the whole black white thing, FOREVER

But since you said white or palladium, I say palladium...

its a really cool color, in certain light it almost gives off a light blueish/gray hue...shows the lines very well

if i wasnt so dead set on the beige interior, i would have done palladium (didnt think it went well with beige)

white on the other hand on the C63 is kinda blah...the arctic white isnt as white as other white's, it almost has a yellowish hue...

i stared at a white one in the dealership for about an hour, and it did nothing for me so I changed my order to black

keep in mind white is a tough color match if u need to paint any panels b/c of accidents etc...

NORTH44 C55 (Barry) has the Palladium with the Sahara Beige interior and it looks exotic, it actually suits the both of them together. He has some pics I am sure.

i dont want to see them! im picking my black C63 up in about 20 minutes - no second guessing !

Pat, have you picked up the "newborn"......driving impressions are required as part of the group!

Palladium.

White drowns out all the lines of the car.

204's in general, don't look good in white.

203's though.....look great in white.......

Just my $0.02....

NORTH 44 C63

Here you go....

Go palladium

I originally ordered Steel Grey then switched to Palladium and at the last minute changed to White. I went with White for two reasons - 1) I live in Houston and it gets so hot here and white cars help reflect some of the sun so the car is not so hot when you get in it (although garaged most of the time). 2) I like the white/black contrast with the interior, plus the smoke headlights show up better on the white car. I never had rust spots on previous white M3...maybe I didn't own it long enough.

Either color is awesome though.

I've seen 2-3 different C63's in Montreal so far, and they have ALL been Palladium Grey. Unless you want to fit in with all the otehr C63's, I would go with White But neither is a bad choice!

Palladium on black with black maple wood trim. Yummy! At least that's what I went with and I'm very happy with the choice. The only other color I would have considered is the Steel Gray but my other car was that color so I went with the Palladium. Love it!

PatSC23

that is true also - i think palladium will become the overwhelming favorite color on the C63 -

but that should not discourage anyone to get it
