I selected the silver gray. My wife liked the titanium gray, put I am not crazy about the greenish tint in it. I felt it would also be harder to keep clean in the Chicago winters. It does look great when it is clean though.
The silver gray has some blue in it which I always liked: a steel blue grey that reminds me of the color jaguar had on their XKE's in the early 70's. I loved that color.

Colour must be the most difficult choice on any car as its the most visible thing, and you have to live with it for a long period of time.

We went with Titanium Silver as we had it on a previous E46, and found that even through a dirty UK winter it still looked reasonably clean. My wife also thinks it looks "classy".

Cheers,

Malc.

If you are not going to mod your car, I'll suggest Silver Grey, the best looking BMW color.

But if you are going to mod it, I'll pick titanium silver, because dark colors looks too subtile for cars w/ mods.

I wish I could say you guys were helping, but it seems as if there is no clear winner/loser here.

I guess they're all good, which just adds to the difficulty of my deicision.

Maybe I'll just flip a coin

The answers to the poll show that BMW did their homework before choosing color selections for us.

I wish I got either silver gray or jet black.

Better yet, get an individual color.

I chose and voted for Silver Grey because I live in Austin, TX where Black just doesn't make sense in the summer, and I like the Beige leather interior which is not available with either Titanium Silver nor Titanium Grey.
