Do you think this picture 'space grey' or the new mystery colour 'platinum grey'? It looks a bit too dark to be space grey but if could just be a over-stylised image...

I think that is Space Gray, but just looks dark in that lighting. I would guess that the following is Platinum Gray (it looks really nice IMO):

i like the current head lamps much better, although they are not as bright as the newer ones, they definitly look alot "meaner" where as the new ones kinda look a little too...... innocent. The tail lights, however, are simply amazing, the side marker lights really makes the 5er stand out.

That bottom scoop is pleasing to the eyes.. its not so aggressive reminds me of the acura/lexus look
