    hahaha apologies - just read the specs.

    I'd actually be inclined to go for the yellow with the charcoal wheels - red tends to look better with black wheels to me.

    I prob should have mentioned that haha yeah i am ordering one but can't decide which color. Yellow is pretty mad but red can polish up real nice and looks real good with the rims (saw one on the weekend) and you can get the red highlights in the interior... Have to decide tonight conveniently

    Guys guys.. we all know Atomic is the ultimate colour - but since it's no longer in production, the OP will just have to make do!

    yep - and that's as far as it got with me - you can't buff it, correct it or even use normal waxes/sealants to protect it! BMW is doing them in the current run of cars and they say that if you scratch it, you have to send it back for a respray (not entirely accurate, but I understand why they say that). It's just as susceptible to scratches, oxidation, etching as standard paint (or moreso), with the difference being you can't do anything about it.

    Now matte vinyl wrapping is a bit different - more durable as it's flexible - and A LOT cheaper!

    Gotta agree there actually. Atomic was actually my preferred colour, but was pretty hard to find one when I was looking for an SV6, Ignition was 2nd choice and the extras I got on mine for the price sealed the deal.
