The poll has a minor flaw in that you have to vote for one metallic and one non-metallic color...
yea 10 colors to choose from, i couldnt exclude the green colors too, some ppl like green too, cant be biased

Obviously, you know what metallic color I chose.
Non-metallic? Jet black.

If I don't have to worry about washing and waxing my car everyday. I will pick BLACK, it looks so luxurious on e60.

Hmmm........It's not letting me vote for Titanium Gray. I get the following error:
"The error returned was:
You did not choose a poll choice to vote against. Please go back and ensure you click on one of the radio buttons next to the choice you wish to vote for"
I tried several times and made sure the radio button for Titanium Gray was pressed, but still get the same error.

If one must be honest, it's hard to tell.
Titanium Silver is very practical it never looks dirty and it brings out the E60's fine shapes.
I did love my Mystic Blue but is was not easy to keep clean.
Silver or Titanium Grey is also very practical and very nice.
I think I will order my new 335iA coup? as Space Grey, because it's easy to keep clean.
But if you can wash your car every week one or even twice - go for
1) Jet Black
2) Sapphire Black
