Hi all. does the yellow look in person like it does in most of the pix i see floating around the net? My choice is between yellow/black and white/red.....also....how hard is it to keep the white car clean?

The Pheonix yellow can look as you see it. It is one of those colours that changes depending on the light conditions.. in some lights it can appear a bright yellow, while others it can be a pale yellow.

the yellow kinda looks like yellow/greenish to me sometimes at certain angles. great color if you dont mind standing out!

i have the AW/IR and it's a great color in looks and for cleaning. no worry about swirl marks. plus it hides dirt well...if i dont wash the car for a week, it still looks clean but if i wash it, i can see that the car was actually dirty...just not visually so...if that makes any sense.

my cousin had the yellow in the E36 M3 and it was great except on resale. i had a white E36 M3 and it took alot less time to sell than it took him.

Hey,
A few days ago i say a yellow convertible driving on the freeway and it stuck out like a sore thumb! It is the most awsome color, and looks like it does in the pix.

I am driving Pheonix yellow/Blk M3 Cab.
It take a while for me to get use to the colour.
And now I love it so much, you wouldn't see much on the street.
Hey that is a special car, got to go with special colour.

Yeah, the yellow is a cool color, but not for me. I prefer more of a stealth look, that's why I'm getting the Steel Gray Metallic. I've been looking for some black aftermarket wheels too, but can't seem to find any.

Sorry for the babble. The yellow is cool, in a "Wow!" sort of way.
