I have mine Silver gray / black. A pretty good color combination. I'm not sure you like white but my fav color combination is Alpine White / Auburn. It's your choice after all. Good luck!?

My Ride: BMW 545iA Black Sapphire
Model Year: 2005
Engine: 545i
I love my black/black combination. Have had this combo on all my previous BMW's.
Yes, takes an extra effort to keep clean but it's worth it. I use REJEX now and only need to give it a wash 2-3 times a month, since the shine REJEX gives lasts a long time. Interior on the other hand always looks new. No regrets.
BTW, welcome!!!

Titanium Silver looks like a rental car. I hate it.
Silver Gray is much better looking.
I got Titanium Gray.... but don't get that. It's my color

I have owned black, silver, and gray cars. While non-black is more difficult to keep clean, I NEVER grew tired of black. I can't say the same for silver and gray. Get some Rejex on there and then maintaining the look is much easier.

TiSilver always looks clean (whether you have time or not) and seems to glow at night. The lines of the cars come through fine. On the other hand, the light grey interior, while being very comfortable on the eye and cool, is a b-tch to keep clean, especially if you have kids.

I love my mystic blue with gray leather. Much more interesting than orient. But don't get it, as I like it being relatively uncommon.

Black/Black is the best combo, just don't be lazy about keeping it clean, and you will get comps. every day, Just today I had a guy ask if he could take pics. standing by my car to take home with him it looked like a photo shoot by the time he was done, but you have got to have chrome wheels mine have a black center.

I wish they made the 545 in Estoril Blue....
they had the M3 in that color years ago. My favorite car color ever.
It was similar to Mystic Blue, but more "electric".
