I am juggling between black, blue or gray for the next e60.
Carbon or Sapphire black seems really grand but a pain to keep clean, I also want to stay away from black, being a bit different.
Unsure if I am into the the new Deep Sea blue, since unfortunately they don't offer Monaco blue with M sports.

How's the new Platinum gray? am wondering if I should go with the new natural leather or the cream beige leather.


Looking for a combination that is more stylish, which will you go with?
Anyone got pics? Opinions and input is appreciated.

try blue with cream beige. I think that looks sporty and sphisticated.

Carbon black is only available on 550 sport, black sapphire is not available on 550 sport. I would not do cream beige, it is very light in person. Space grey looks great, Plat grey I believe has green tint.

My choices: Carbon black with black or nat brown, plenty of recent pictures do search.
Space grey with black or nat brown, recent pictures over last few days.

Good luck.

My original choice were Monaco blue with cream beige, but Msport is only availble in the new Deep Sea blue which I am not too keen about.
Black with natural tan looks very hot, I agree.

Isn't Space gray very similar to Silver gray? This time around I like to try a different colur than my current car.
Unsure if I like the green tint on the Platinum gray, like the Titanium gray from previous?

Sorry, didn't realize at first you were talking about 535 only. I think space gray may be slightly more "gray" than silver gray. Most dealers have X5 with space gray to look at. I think it looks great, my second choice. If going with 535, carbon black is out, however black sapphire is in. I have black sapphire on the 530 sport I am returning, love it and not available on 550 sport so out for me.

I saw a paint sample that was sent in February, from Germany, to my CA. Platinum gray metallic does have a green flake in it. I don't know how it will read on a car under various lighting conditions. Will just have to see a car when it arrives.

The big difference between Titanium and Platinum is that the reduced the green tint. The paint is slightly darker, so it could have been called just "anthracite". I've seen an E60 M-sport in Platinum Grey and it looks really cool. Now, I'm biased on this topic as I'm going for that colour.

My first choice was Space Grey, but I feel it will be such a common colour where I live so I decided against it. But it's a "safe" colour, you cannot go wrong with it.
