2007 530i, Steptronic 6, Titanium Gray, Black Dakota leather, Anthracite wood, Premium pkg, Sport pkg, Cold Weather pkg, Premium Sound, pro nav, Active Steering, Park Distance, folding rear seats.

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

if you want silver go with GREY that closest to Black or go with blue or white!

int, best is auburn or black, trim is mapple, or new light wood poplar. def. High gloss Shadowline window trims

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.

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 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.

Have you considered Mystic Blue with the tan interior? Everyone owns a silver or black BMW - I just wanted to be different! Mystic Blue/Tan/Anthracite

Is that right?

I have my car for over a year now and have never seen any hints of green. As for Silver Gray looking better, well that is subjective.

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?

My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.

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.
