My personal favourite at the moment on the LCI models is black / cream on an M-Sport (with black trim and black foot mats). With the new door designs and anthracite roof in the M-Sport, I think it would give it a bit of the "Indivdual" look, great contrast and lighten up the interior.
When I chose mine, I simply went for black interior because I was concerned about the cleaning side of things. Having seen plenty of posts about this now in the forums, I would not worry about this anymore - there are enough straight forward / easy ways of keeping light colours looking good.
I certainly wouldn't worry about what the person around the corner has.
A month ago my preferred choice was titanium / natural brown. A year ago it was carbon black / black. Never easy choosing the specs... they all look sooo good !!!

You have great choices.
I got the carbon black/creme (see pics here: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...p;#entry421113). My second choice would have been alpine whte, which I think looks amazing with the sport pack but which I have to admit I didn't have the b@lls to buy after hating white cars for 30 years!

just have to input, alpine white is great. i always thought that being white it would just always get dirty but whenever i see them they're not that dirty and really fits the e60.
