Silver Grey for me 
Titanium silver is too light on E60 and for some reasons it just doesn't look right to me.

1) Very easy to keep clean
2) Wheels match the paint (close enuf)
3) Tires match the Sport shadow trim
Put it all together and it makes a nice package. Silver grey has most of these same attributes.

When I got my 2002 E39, black saphire on black interiro, my salseman asked if I knew that i was not only getting a new car, but a new hobby - keeping it clean. He was right, of course, but nothing looks better when it is clean. My new 545 is Black Saphire as well.

Is there a big difference between jet black and sapphire black?

Black is my color of choice for most BMWs, but after seeing a couple of Titanium Silvers on the road, I've got to say ... the light color shows off the the lines exceptionally well. I love the line running along the door panels , and it's just not so apparent with black.
Silver gray is boring to me in bright sunlight. Looks too dull.
