Thanks. I've been looking at pictures of other silver grey 5s daily for about 2 months now and I can't believe how striking this baby looks in the flesh! I was so happy that I picked this color when I saw it in person. It just has a richness and a depth to it.
The tint is Llumar ATStar 35% all around. I really looked into it and was going to get either the formula one pinnacle ceramic (probably would have been higher quality) or sunguard (lifetime no fault warranty). But the dealer's guy did llumar so in the end, the convenience factor was the winner. just make sure you use non metallics if you have sat radio.

Awesome---will do because I do have Sat radio.
Are you a Gator? (Noticed you were from G'ville)---
I lived in FL for 25 yrs....but my loyalties involve the Tomahawk Chop!
Either way, we can both agree on awesome rides, huh?

Titanium Silver or Titanium Grey?
For me Titanium Grey was a bit too dark. Titanium Silver is what I'm drive now on my 328i----so Silver Grey was the best option. Looks really sharp. Titanium Silver was my 2nd choice.

Titanium silver. Did you not like the titanium over the long haul or did you just want a change. Too late to amend my order now anyhow i think so Titanium silver it is 
I'm sure it will look great.
