All

I'm nearly completely set on Silver Grey and Black interior BUT am tempted by a light coloured interior. IMO if I go for Silver Grey I can't really do a beige/grey interior as there is insufficient contrast so time for something more radical - CHANGE THE EXTERIOR COLOUR.

To help me with this common dilemma, I bet all you guys who already have your rides went through the same, could you post pics of GREY INTERIORS and/or ORIENT BLUE EXTERIORS.

I'm keen so see what the grey looks like particularly as you don't seem to see that many around and the brouchure pics don't really give an accurate representation.

This is my sanity at stake here - please help!!!

 

Mine is silver grey with nasca beige. I love it!

 

My 530d will be orient blue with beige leather seats.
There are some pictures in the E60 catalogue of this color and trim.

 

There are some pics here or on roadfly of the orient blue with the gray interior. I can't seem to find them right now. The best way to tell is to go to the dealer to see if they have any 5s with gray leather on the lot. I have seen some pics where it looks somewhat darker, and then I have seen some that are light. I believe the actual gray color is of a lighter shade.

 

Stick with black interior with poplar trim, I thought it was the best looking by far!

 

Orient Blue or Black Sapphire with beige leather is the way to go, IMO. Dark exterior colors look best new and when the car ages.

 

I had the exact same dilemna jonboy. In the end I went for the silver grey/black route. The reason was that I found the beige too yellow and the grey interior not pale enough.

However, I have just seen the amethyst interior (on Roadfly I think) and the two-tone effect looks pretty nice to me. Certainly a bit different.

Also, check out the truffle brown that is in the brochure (they combine it with black). That looks realy nice (better than beige imo), and again on Roadfly there is someone that has ordered silver grey/truffle bown.

 

I chose Tit. Silver with light grey interior with darkwood trim.
Here's a pic.

 

I love the grey.

 

Hey Jonboy -- i won't comment on colour choice - opinions of the owner are all that count there, imo...

BUT

if I were to do it differently...

if i could have afforded the proNav i would have taken it BUT i am very happy with the busNav (other than the missing TMC functionality)

the moonroof is the best - keep it!

skip logic7 - drop down a step and spend the extra pounds on AutoAC (which, as you see in other posts) is the only real auto-choice in climate on the e60 - the standard version, which I have, really stretches the imagination with the Automatic tagword!

cheers
