I see how you get TireRack to take the wheels back - just keep having them rebalanced....

BTW, I was shocked when I got my brand new 08 M5 home last July and saw 07/07 as the build date in the door jam......

My first choice is always alpine white. That being said, I would go for the silver vs the black. Just my .02$

We are ordering a new 550i, with the M Aero Kit, but we aren't sure which color looks best with the Aeor kit: the two choices are Carbon Black (which is blueish) or the bright silver.

Thoughts?
carbon black looks navy blue in the sun.. i'd go for saphire black or silver grey....
