As for options, I would go with rear power sunshade. I am not a big fan of tinted windows unless it is on an SUV or limo. A slight tint is okay.

I originally wanted Titanium Gray but after looking at the color in person, I did not like it as much since it had a green color cast on it. It reminded me of a cheap black color shirt that was washed and the color faded. Am I the only one that sees this since my dealer did not see it. So I decided on the Silver Gray. My next option would be the dark Mystic Blue.

I had the same problem with the old Titanium Gray but there is a new Titanuim Gray II, the old Titanium Gray had that green look in it, I did not like it either. but the new color does not have that problem.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong???
Thanks!

Titanium Gray looks green under the sun. Silver Gray Metallic looks better.

If you go to the Meet next weekend, June 24th, maybe you can point out to me the greenish hue on my car. See you there?

If you don't mind washing your car at least once a week - go for black ext.
The int for a black E60 could well be Beige to get some contrast, otherwise Auburn.
Nice woods to all above.
Grey int is kind of dull.
I have Silver/Black - the car need to washed only for the Christmas and 4th of July,
Midsummer overhere.
