550 in Carbon Black all the way.

Seriously, Alpine White is nice looking (see Alpine White Girl's mods which really add to the Alpine White look).

Actually, my fav 550 color is Titanium Silver.

Whatever color you chose, you can't go wrong with a 550.
Yes, the Titanium Silver looks GREAT. I can't do black. I catch hell with regular plain colors like white, silver and blue's. If i got black, i would end up paying for damages or something. LOL

My Titanium Silver 540i Sport was so easy to keep clean. My Carbon Black 550i Sport is a major PITA to keep clean. Everything shows on the Carbon Black. But the Carbon Black is a beautiful color, especially in the sunlight when clean.

Hit a racoon about a month ago and that bitch tore up my front bumper. Damages were $1600!! Messed up my PDC sensors, shattered my fog light, cracked my fog light "under" housing and cracked my bumper and the amber reflector. Attached are some pics. Will turn in to get fixed on May 5th. After the estimate, BMW went ahead and took the glass and foglight out and will repair it later.

About two cars ago, i hit a freakin turkey when i had my Platnium Gray 528 and it did $2500 in damages.

Rule of thumb ---> Me and animals don't get along.

Geese ... that hurts in more ways than one!

I hope the animal rights activists don't hunt you down! Real estate development has eliminated so much land that the animals have taken to the roads ... between potholes and animals it seems like a conspiracy against us!

Will your auto insurance (comprehensive) coverage help out any ??
