Thanks everyone for the votes and input. Haven't been able to make a decison yet, but the info provided has been valuable.
Actually, it does see as if BMW did their homework. There is not really a bad color choice.

Yes we do! 
I originally ordered Alpine White to replace Alpine White, switched to Titanium Silver when the Aussie study said it was a safer color, got cold feet and tried to switch back to Alpine White, but was a few days too late according to my sales person. Now I have adapted to the Titanium Silver, but still like white.

If I were to buy the car to keep for the long-term, white would have been my choice. Never seen it in person though, but from the pics, I really like it.
Unfortunately, I will have to eventually get rid of this 5 series and white is a color (at least in europe) that seems to depreciate more.

Thanks everyone for the input. I've deicided to stick with my original choice of silver gray although I could have easily picked any of the others too. I'll probably second guess it a million more times, but the way I see it, I really can't go wrong here. They're all great.
