Hahahaha! Get outta here. You're the one who plugs sheep in the pastures of Minnesota, so don't even go there.

Just want to get some inputs.
Which one you like and why? I'm leaning toward Gray but not sure if it's easy to keep clean. Black shows more dust and so hot in summer.
Thanks in advance,

The grey interior pictured above is from an M5 and that looks seriously better than for the regular 5 Series!
Personally, I would opt for the brown interior (option code LCNG / Naturbraun) with the Space Grey exterior. Don't forget to order the black roof liner and the High gloss for the exterior!

My Ride: Jan 2006 E63 650i Sport
.
Options:
Sport version (includes: sport-seats, sport-suspension, M-Sport steering wheel, Anthracite headliner, Shaddow Line), Saphire Black, Black Dakota Leather, Anthracite Maple Wood trim, Steptronic Auto, Xenons, NAV-Professional with Voice Control, TV, CD-Changer, Bluetooth, Logic7, Head-up Display, Comfort Access, Seat Heating front, Auto Dimming & Folding Mirrors, Extended Auto Air Conditioning, PDC.
.
Mods:
Spacers 5mm front & 15mm rear
.
Wheels:
20" Alpina Softline (Classic) with Dunlop Sport Maxx non-RFT (255/35/20 & 285/30/20)
I had a grey interior. It certainly gave a roomy bright feel to the interior, but I found it very bland. (This was a company car I took over, so couldn't choose the colour)
My last 2 cars (both m-sport packs with anthracite roof liner) had black interiors -- a very cool look.
I currently have the Natural-Brown with Black trim -- like the pics above. It has excellent contrast, has a bit of an exclusive "bi-colour" feel about it, and is pretty good with dirt. (I do 60000km per year, and need to clean mine every couple of months, but if you do less mileage it shouldn't be an issue.)
However, if its a choice between black or grey, definitely black!

Thanks for the compliment -- I really love this bi-colour combo, and without having to pay bi-colour Individual prices!
