Question BSM M2C with Silver 788M wheels?

Does anyone have any good photos of a BSM M2 Competition with Silver wheels?

I guess almost everyone goes for the black wheels (brake dust, etc.), but I'd love to see what this looks like before I decide 100%.

Right now I'm leaning towards silver as a kind of throwback to my E36:

First thought seeing that photo:

"Pretty car!"

Second thought:

"Stay off the moors!"

Great pic,

I don't know how much help this is (how did I completely miss a full on side-shot?!), but I have pics from a BSM w/Silver wheels that I took at my dealer ~2 months before mine came in. To me, the silver definitely gave the car a different character, and not bad in any way. I almost switched after seeing this car, but when mine came in, I was over-the-top happy I stuck with black. I've had quite a few Black w/silver wheels cars, and, for me, the dark wheels on the M2C just tightens up the look a bit more like I hoped for.

The top 3 pics are Silver, bottom 2 are Black

Good luck!

Thanks, this was really helpful! I'm still a bit torn, but I'm leaning towards black now. The dealer advised going black as apparently the brakes produce a ton of brake dust, so the silver's get dirty really quick.

Just bumping this in case anyone has anymore pics. I'm still on the fence and have two more weeks to decide!
