the most perfect colour is sterling grey, unfortunately it is not a standard e60 colour unless you go individual.
the second choice is titanium grey with suburn interior, though due to circumstanceds i got silver grey (love it too) with black leather.

Hey everyone,

I have ordered a 535d with the M Sport Package.? I've still doubts about the color.? The problem is that here (in Belgium) you see very little 5series with the M Sport Package.

It will be Carbon Black or Titan Silver.? Can anyone help me decide?

I've just ordered Silver Grey on the same car. Carbon Black was tempting after seeing it in the showroom but had black car before and it was grey and brown for 95% of ownership. Shame they don't do inclusive cleaning! I like silver but we have an ML in this and my last E39 was silver so having a change. The first ever sport I saw was in SG and I fell in love with it there and then. It looked fantastic!
I vote silver but fave is SG. Hope this helps.

Merv

Sterling Grey is really the best it has so many shades opposite to the Tit Grey which is is a bit plain IMHO when the weather is not perfect.

I'd vote Titanium silver with privacy glass. This looks stunning on the M sport models and is way easier to keep than black.

I do not like at all dark color (black in particular).
Titanium silver is my choice, just my 2 cent. opinion.

I was having the same problem; after owning a Jet Black 3series cab I couldnt stand how dirty it would get after one or two days after an EXTENSIVE clean. I oped for titanium silver on my new e60 and I love it.


I think dark colors on E60 make the car look dramatically smaller due to the fact the e60 has heavy lines on the car that cant be seen on a darker color.

I would agree, if the weather isn't sunny and the cars not clean Titanium Grey 1 looks very dull, even a shade of green. Thats why I have gone for Silver Grey next.

I am loving my color. I used to have a 1998 528i in silver and loved it. The grey does get dirty much quicker -- but when its clean its really bad. Can't go wrong with silver except you will see lots of others out there.
