I chose the Titanium Grey. I love the color. It's very distinct and looks great even when it's a little dusty.

Given how awesome the car is, I think any color you choose will be great.

I think if I was ordering today, it would be Titanium Grey, but I'd like to see it with the Amethyst interior, I reckon that would be

I don't think pics do any of the colors justice....

i just went to the dealers and asked them to pull those colored cars and line them together so i could compare.... i'm debating b/t sapphire black, Orient Blue, and Mystic... my e46 was Ti Silver..and you're right..i could get by at least a week w/o having to wash only noticable dirty on the areas right behind the wheel well.... my rims.... had to wash prolly every 2-3 days cuz of all the brake dust......haha....so.. you may wanna consider that............ my gF's jet black 325. gets dirty as soon as it's driven after wash it seems... but a newly waxed black car looks hella pimp......................................

Best bet.. look in person....and change your car's bathing habits if need be..haha.. happy hunting!

T-grey II???

I looked at the Ti-grey very closely when I had to decide. All the ones I seen in person did have the greenish tint in it. I loved the color, but personally did not care for the green tint.

I have not heard any news that the green tint was taken out for the 2005MY. I even called a dealer here, and he has not heard that the Ti-Grey has chenged. I would not mind ordering the Ti-Grey II IF the green is taken out, and might just do that if my car sits at the VPC for weeks.

I know that in the shade, the Ti-grey does NOT show the green. Does anyone have the new Ti-grey without the greenish tint out here?

Not many of us Orient Blue 5'ers out there (which I'm enjoying).

Here in NY, every tom and harry has some sort of shade of gray car (starting back from about 98) before that, the color was dark shades of green).

Heck, my boss has a grey one (e60 530i)

OB is very hard color to maintain. You can see any little white spec a mile away.
I have it as a weekend car and always garage.

My other car (beater) is gray and hides everything (dirt, salt, mud, etc.)

You have a hard choice ahead of you.

personally i think that the grey is better. the E60 is a special car and orient blue aint special enough.

But overall the best colour is saphire black.

I just picked up my t-gray 04? 545 tonight in NYC. Go figure ? its raining! Im at my girlfriends tonight ? so all I had was my camera phone to take a pic (ill get some others up this weekend.) There is still a slight green tint to the car. That being said I stopped at Dunkin Donuts tonight ? came out and there were two people already asking about the color! I think I made the right choice.
