I have a BWB with black interior, and I think it looks pretty sharp. I always thought the lighter exterior colors were kind of "oldperson-ish", and I always had a navy blue car up until now, but dark colors seem really hard to keep looking good, IMO. So I went with a lighter color. I don't have a garage, but I can't say it looks bad at all. And everyone has told me the color was a great choice!

i'm on order for a BWB/BBM. i like it, i think it suits the body styling well. i hear it stays nice even when dirty, a plus here in socal with all the soot. here's a pic of a 250 with nav at the dealership, angle shows some shadows and highlights to get an idea of how the color can "change". hope this helps.

If "Brentweiss" is a male, then I'd suggest getting another color besides BWB. My saleperson told me that 95% of her customer who bought BWB were FEMALE. I myself ran into lots of BWB's on the street with female drivers too. If you worry about hiding the dirt, then get Glacier Frost like mine... I had to come close to the car to see the dirt.

^ I don't see how a silver metalic blue is any less masculine than a pearly rainbow shade like Glacier Frost.
Brentweiss Don't let the haters discourage you on your color choice anyone who does just has masculinity issues. Breakwater is really an awesome color. I think the sterling interior would look nicer than the black though.

I have a BWB 350 with the cashmere interior. The only thing that really gets dirty quick are the floor mats. I fixed that by getting some black mats. The light color interior is a little bit more on the up keep side of things, but hey, it just shows everyone how much TLC I put into by keeping her clean!
My last car (which I still have) was black on black, so I wanted something different.

i dont think that it is any less masculine than any other color, but i feel as though its kinda "old person looking"...looks as though it should be on a cadillac or a buick or something...not the IS

How could anyone (male or female) not love Breakwater Blue Pearl on this car!!
Just look at it !! Absolutely Stunning!!!
I "borrowed" this pic to illustrate what I mean. This car's owner is a Club Lexus member. I can't recall his name, but I hope he doesn't mind my using a photo of his gorgeous IS350 here. This car is,without a doubt, the hottest looking automobile I have EVER seen, and the BWB color is perfect, IMHO.......those polished aluminum wheels ain't too shabby either..lol

I have a BWB w/ cashmere interior. I don't know where in TX youre at, but it is impossible for me to keep it clean because I commute through the construction on I-10 here in Houston everyday. I wash it once a month at the most because of my busy schedule, and it still looks good. I think the color is one of those where dust is not quite so apparent due to it's neutral tones.
When I was purchasing, I was actually aiming for a CW but when I saw my baby sitting there in the showroom, it was love at first sight. And it is also not a color that *everybody* else has, I have yet to see another BWB IS here in Houston, so if you want to be different it is a great color to go with.
And the thing about masculinity, its true that women like the color more, but that just means more admiring looks when you cruise past or *roll up* to a place. Trust me, I'm a single guy in my early 20s and the attention that I get from some hunnies when they see what I drive and in this color is just off the hook.
