i agree with most everyone else. IMO gray just looks sterile. I prefer the look of black. My old 3 had beige and it really showed the dirt.

Exterior color would help...but in all honesty, I like black. I live in so cal, no problems with getting to hot. Invest in a $10 front sunshade (those round ones that fold) if you are really concerned with the heat. And just get the sunshade option for the rest of the car

Black.

Always had black interiors and always will. But lately, red leather on a black car seems intriguing...

My favorite is black. I guess it would all depend on the exterior color and choice of interior wood trim! What is your exterior choice?

Black over gray for sure, but beige is really nice. My 550 interior was black (with the alcantara head liner) and was great but you loose some of the life with an all black interior. I personally like the contrast of the black/beige. Just don't do gray. The beige is really no more work than black to keep clean, in fact actually easier in some respects.

Thanks for all input guys. My current car has black interior already and I just want something different.

The new 5 will be a 2nd car for me and this one has silver outside. I like gray more since it's two tone design vs black is just plain.

Sounds like you answered your own question, then. Next!
