So I am out shopping for a convertible and finally ended up with two choices.
White Exterior - Black top, natural brown leather seats & trim, black seat belts, black dash/console, HID lights, no heated seats
Red Exterior - Black top, tan leather seats & trim, tan seat belts, tan dash/console, No HID lights, heated seats
Both have the same mileage on them, and priced very close.
First, I personally think HIDs are somewhat overrated compared to halogens
Wow are you serious? I don't think I can get a car without HID's anymore. at least on the honda accord i had the halogen headlamps were so bad and could barely see anything at night. I retrofitted a HID and projector setup and difference was night and day

For my area, yes, I'm serious, although I'll admit that my highly suburban/urban area is not the ultimate test for headlights, since the streets and roads all tend to be rather brightly lit even at night. In a totally rural setting, with no other lights available, there might be more of a difference between halogens and HIDs. I personally have never had a driving problem with halogens, though...but I did have some occasional problems with the old sealed-beam incandescent headlights that were in use before halogens came along.
For a vert, don't even think about black on black.
You'll thank me later.
And white it is. Just picked it up.
2005 330Ci cabriolet ZHP edition.The exhaust note is so sweet, I was orgasming all the way back home every time stepped on the gas pedal to speed up.
I also personally love the fact that it is a soft top so you don't get all the squeaks and rattles of a hard top convertible and it doesn't rob you of storage space in the trunk.
I was surprised that there was no wind howling or whistling at hwy speeds ie 80-90mph. Solid.
Call it a miracle if you will, but as I was driving the car from the dealer, I was wondering what would happen when it rains. Will it leak? And Lo and behold, clouds appeared and it rained for about a 2 mile stretch on the highway, and it did not leak. It rained when there was no prediction of rain on Saturday.
