M3 colour choices / XP64 to XP32

BMW M3 colour choices
mmm, right Ive narrowed it down to a non SMG , 6 speed manual car and thats about it so far.....
[colours in picture top to bottom]
silver-grey
green
black
imola-red
titanium-silver
mystic-blue
topaz-blue
phoenix-yellow
laguna-seca

So far I like black/red/topaz and phoenix......

XP back conversion
Finally after so long with poor driver support within XP64bit I have converted my machine to XP32 , now my printer works , my roadpilot can update and the phone can connect , what a joy to have all my peripherals back :-)
Process wasn't painless and took several attempts but I finally got there in the end.
Driver issues / Large disc support etc
I guess the moral of the story is I shouldnt have bought the PC with XP64 installed in the first place !!!!
FWIW the machine seems no slower than with XP64. The only annoyance so far is a delay when starting Internet Explorer or triggering popup windows.

Happy New Year to you all
