No not really, although I agreen there is an slight element of green somewhere in the grey - I have the same colour and I really like it.

Personally I think the E60 looks better in darker colours. IMO - Carbon black looks best (especially on the Sport) and white/silver look worst. However Black is hard to keep clean so Titan Grey is the next best thing.

Marty,

Thanks for your comment. Since joining this forum and reading all the various comments I have actually started to really rate my spec. If you don't see many on the road you start to think you've made an unpopular choice.

Cheers

Merv

I know what you mean - also familiarity with you own car can also mean that other cars/colours start to look better. The grass is always greener ... and all that ...

I actually like the fact that you dont see too many Titan Greys about - it does not worry me at all.

The only thing I dont like about the grey is that it really needs a black or grey interior and I think the light leather interiours always look so much better. However I have kids and use my car a lot so a light interior would be a bad choice for me.

Agreed - The light interiors look great in the showroom and unless you have a full time valet blacks the colour. The thing I don't like about my grey interior is the doors are just grey in colour and need to have parts like the armrests in black, like the auburn interior. As you rightly say the grass is always greener - especially when you see another car with a different colour scheme all polished up

yes, very green. you can't get any "greener". i mean the trees . no, your car doesn't look green. but imo, amethyst gray does look a bit green under sun light .
