My Ride: 2006 Silver Grey 550i (est delivery 12/06)
Auburn / Poplar Interior / Anthracite headliner
M body aero kit/ sport/ sound/ comfort access/ comfort seats/ sunshade/ sat radio
I'm getting ready to order my 550i but am struggling with colors.
I think I'm down to this choice...
silver gray exterior...decided against sap black
I really like auburn interior with anthracite headliner but not sure if it goes with sil gray...what do people think and is it possible to get the combo of anthracite headliner and auburn?
otherwise beige interior is safe bet...should I still try to get the anthracite hl with beige leather?
I knows its all personal but any opinions appreciated...esp if someone has SG/auburn combo
also does anyone know if anthracite HL is standalone priority one option?

I'll let 545i now tell you how Silver Gray is with Auburn. 
But in my opinion Auburn is very nice, matches fine.

[/quote]One more thought...Heres a way to make your new E60 something very specialized, very few E60's out there with anything other that the standard order combo's. I for one was tired of black interiors, wanted something that wouldnt take much maintenance, and looked great with silver gray....you be the judge.............

I'm a newbie here folks...sorry for the earlier blank-post. Like the site - very informative.
At any rate, in my very humble opinion, BMW should be offering burgundy color interior, or even blue leather interior. This is especially true if you opt for the Ti or grey paint. You could really dress up the interior beyond black, grey and bland.
By he way - does anyone know if I can get a 550 wagon shipped to the states if I opt for the Euro delivery? Right now I drive a X5 4.4 , but am ebvious of the handling, performance, gas mileage and practicality of the wagon - plus I could get the manual shift.
Thanks for the info.
