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.
