The Platinum Bronze seems to be the least popular exterior color. I've only seen them at my dealer...not a favorite of mine.

Olive Ash wood in the M5 is fugly, esp. with black interior. There's one at my dealer which has been there since August, and I strongly suspect this is one of the main reasons...looks terrible.

Why, are you going to order your next one in the least popular combination just to irk the forum members? It's not like you don't get a new one about once a month!

Platimum Bronze has only been available in the e60 for nine months, I had Silver Grey last time, Toledo Blue before that and Black before that so this was a nice change.

Maybe we should get a 550i vs. 535i (in platinum bronze) race going to find out.
