My Ride: Retired: 2007 530i Silver Gray/Gray Leather, premium/sport/logic 7/hd radio/comfort access/park distance control
2010 535i M Sport Alpine White/Black premium/M-Sport,L7,Sat,HD Radio/Paddle Shifters/heated seats/comfort access/navigation/sport gear stick
Any Deep Sea Blue owners out there? How do you like the color and how is it in regard to showing scratches and swirls etc?
What are your thoughts on DSB with Natural Brown? The other options I am considering are Alpine White with Black or Natural Brown and Silver with Black. Look for a change over my Silver Grey.
Thanks

That car's color combo is simply stunning.

I have deep sea blue with brown on my '08 535xi. I really like it and seem to get a lot of compliments from fellow BMW drivers. One thing I would do differently is order it with the black headliner (mine is gray). I think it requires the alcantara option for about a grand but on top of the color - it seems to improve the overall feel of quality in the interior. Some do say the black makes the interior seem smaller but I have it in my other car and would prefer. All that said - you'll get every opinion on color and it certainly is personal preference.

My Ride: 2008 550i 10/12 Delivery Date - Deep Sea Blue Metallic: Black Nasca Leather, Ventilated Seats, Sport Pkg, SAT, Logic 7, HD Radio, SatNav, Power Rear Sunshades, Comfort Access, Active Steering, iPod/USB interface, and Bamboo Anthracite Trim.
Other ride: Lexus 95 LS400 193000 Miles and still going.
I also have the deep sea blue metallic on my car with black interior and gray headliner. I really like the blue on black setup. I don't mind the gray headliner too much, but next time I'll try the black headliner. This color clearly sticks out on the road and lots of people notice it.

I'd take Deep Blue Sea over AW and Silver.

My '04 525iA was Mystic Blue with Black int, a great color but seldom clean!
But since I'm a lazy car washer, my '05 525iA was Silver Grey with a Black int
and the current 520dA is a Space Grey with Black int.
Since I think almost any color is nice on a E60,
I've gone for the practical day to day use colors.
