This is my order however, I can't decide on a color, I've narrowed it down to Tatanium Grey or Silver Matalic. any recomendations? on what I have above?
Also what optoins would you cancel or add and why?
Thanks

I have Sapphire Black and think it is absolutely the best looking exterior, but hate how hard it is to keep anything from showing up on it. Dust, pollen, fingerprints, swirl marks, etc, etc, etc all show up with highlights! Next in line is Tit. Silver for sure.
They Dakota Gray with Anthracite Wood looks awesome. I constantly get great comments on it.
Get ALL the goodies you can afford - as long as you keep all the goodies under warranty. Every option has come in handy and makes the experience even more pleasurable.
Of course, you're getting an E60, so how can you really go wrong?

I have titanium grey - which looks good clean - but less good with any road grime.
I think silver grey is better - and carbon black is better still.
My next rider will be carbon black / black dakota leather and msport so black headlining.

Black is a safe color that everyone will appreciate on any car; if you want to be safe that is...

E60 looks best with dark color especially rear part. There are too many blacks on the road though.
I pick Oxford/dark green with beige interior.

I'm leaning towards black on the 5er ill order/locate. I have a black Maxima now, it's used and the previous owner didn't take good care of it. I want a nice fresh start 
with black.
After seeing that Monaco blue is extremely close to black but shines slightly blueish in the sun, I think i might be getting that. Whatever my dealer can locate, because I need a new car ASAP.
