I'm partial to black!!! But I also have a Silver Expedition and I hate it. The only thing good I think about silver is I can get away w/ out washing it for a long time. I'm selling that truck this summer, for a black 07 Tahoe.

That is up to you. You just need to decide if you like the options that come with the Sport or the GT. Both colors are great!

In my humble opinion, there is no prettier color on a car than black, but that's only if it's spotless. Both you and I have owned black cars, so we know how difficult it is to keep 'em sexxy. If you're still up to the challenge, I'd go with black.
As for Sport vs. GT, I don't think the options on the GT are worth the extra coin. HIDs can be added; the DIS can be enabled; the stereo can be enhanced with a LOC and an inexpensive powered sub; rain-sensing wipers suck (or so I'm told by a 328xi-driving friend). If you can talk the dealer down to Sport-pricing on a GT, then go for it. Otherwise, get the Sport.
As for color, you're making a $24k investment in a vehicle that you're going to have for a long time. I wouldn't "settle" on anything, including the color. That's a lot of hard-earned money to spend on something with which you're not totally satisfied.

black although its a bitch to look nice. i've had silver and black, black looks the best but silver is easier to maintain.

Had a black car for 7 years (00GTI) and i loved every second of it, when it was Clean.....problem was i was cleaning it ALOT, maybe twice a week.
this time i opted for silver and the only thing i don't like it water spots are easy to see on silver (surprising). Also its a PITA to paint, since my local body shop had to repaint the rear bumper 3 times to get it right. wish it had never got hit in the first place.

Black Mica is awesome and if you're on the highway, everybody will think you're the cop when you're behind them :P

Noted! (drinks)
I have owned prior black cars and yes they do look awesome when they are clean but me personally, I chose silver for the ease of cleaning and it hides small blemishes allot better. That was my main reason to never buy another black car. I felt like every time I washed it, I would find new small chips, light scratches etc. and being my wife says I have OCD, it drove me crazy. I also agree with the previous statement of buying what makes you happy. It's your hard earned money so get what you want. I drove 80 miles away to get mine in silver with navigation because that's what I wanted. I can't tell you the number of phone calls I recieved from other dealers telling me they would make me a deal on a black or blue GT with navigation. I test drove a red sport and purchased the silver GT with navigation that I wanted.

Either color kicks ass. You need to decide between the GT and Sport. For me, getting the GT was a no brainer because of the HIDs. Like Vix, I love me some auto-sensing wipers as well as the auto headlights.
Since the GT is black, get the black.
:cool:

120 MPH in the parking lot? hum was this dealers lot in an old runway? 1/4 mile speed on the G35 is approx 101 MPH....
Congrats on the G35 albeit its a whole different car from the MS3....

We'll everyone is entitled to be happy and the G35 is a really nice car, but a lease, I hope you don't plan to add any mods to it. Why do I say this, well Infinity is picky and if you loose your warranty because of a modified part on a leased car, they (the leasing company) can demand you to return the car to OEM spec and purchase a new warranty. Allot of details are involved as well but it has happened. I'm sure you'll join there forum and you can read about it on one of there blogs. Just looking out for you that's all and again, G35's have allot of potential. Go for it, but I say purchase it.
PS. I hope you like my LED tail-lights, you'll see plenty of them...(thumb)

You right but if i lease it with the option of purchase it will be a good deal!! Like my brother did in his audi he lease it 2 years ago and now he has the option of purchase so he will pay 25k for the audi Sline 2.0t with all the toys!! It was 38k 2 years ago ,,,, so im doing the same thing!
