I love the titanium grey, and like titanium grey II even better. I had a black car and one black car in a lifetime is enough for me. The titanium grey has a very elegant appearance, and will be easy to care for.

Titanium gray will not be easy to care for. Titanium silver is easy to maintain. Titanium gray is a dark color and will not be as difficult as black to maintain but it will be right up there. Good luck both are great colors. I vote black.

Silver. I don't need another part-time job and have too many time-consuming hobbies already--like my black Z06 (part-time job or time-consuming hobby either way, but it feels more like a part-time job--ugh).

Silver gray is incredibly easy to care for. Haven't tried TGray.

My Ride: 07 BMW 525i Premium Package, Xenon Lighting Package, manual Transmission. Titanium Grey, 20% Tint around the back, 70% V-Kool on front. Planned mods: Style 71 wheels with Toyo Proxy 4 tires, Sachs suspension upgrade, upgraded stereo, and many more to come.

I have the exact same comment with darkside =)
My titanium gray 525i is schedule to arrive back in the states by end of the month, can't wait!
Although I have to say when it's clean, black is the best, but not as practical...

Those were the exact two color choices I narrowed my decision to in April. I just took delivery of an '07 Ti Gray 550i yesterday! I can say I like my final choice. The black is more mysterious and hides some of the lines of the 5 series. The gray may not be as easy to take care of than lighter colors but it will be easier than black. Personal choice but I prefer the Ti Gray.
