My Ride: 2008 535xi, Platinum Grey, Black Dakota leather, Light Poplar Wood, Anthracite headliner, Premium, Sport, Cold Weather, Nav, HUD, PDC, Night Vision, Logic7, iPod / USB, HD Radio, Sunshades, Heated Rear seats, and Folding Rear Seats.
I'm trying to decide between platinum gray or space gray for a '08 535xi. The space gray looks somewhat dull to me, but it's the color I originally thought I wanted. After seeing the darker platinum gray on a demo I'm torn. Anyone else have this problem?

Tough decision for sure...I ended up ordering the Monaco Blue met. but Platinum Gray was my 2nd choice. If I had ordered the PG color, I would have gotten the black interior, which I think is an awesome color combo - but I'm not really a fan of an all black interior so I stayed with my original choice of the MB with the beige interior....you may want to go look at both colors one more time before you order.

My Ride: E46 330, E60 550 on order: Carbon Black/Natural Brown, 6MT.
PG was my choice until I heard the siren's song of Carbon Black. PG looks very classy, without the maintenance that you get with the blacks or Monaco Blue.
Natural Brown is another interesting interior combo with PG.

I had similar problem.
I was doubtful between Deep sea Blue (A76) and Spacegrau (A52) , Platingrau (A68) is too dark for me loving light colors and after four years of wonderful Titansilber (354) I decided for Deep Sea Blu, but after having seen one E60 with my eyes I changed my decision for Spacegrau: wonderful color which is different with different lights.
My new 535d is expected on 10 jan 2008 with Nasca beige interior and Alu trim.
BTW I love a lot Atlantic Blue, but it is only available on serie 3 coup? and serie 6 : IMHO it should be fantastic on E60.

I have PG with gray leather and light poplar wood (wished Gray Poplar wood, You may order this)
Interior with PG must be Beige / Gray = (otherwise the pillars and roof will be Std-Gray with other interior colors-that I think won't match)

Platinum Gray is RICH, SEXY and SPORTY. ( the brochure says-PG is a Sport color).

Ah, so with PG the pillars and roof are gray not black? I'll have to ask about this, I would hope they would be black, doesn't make much sense to me if it's not possible. I'm definitely not wanting biege / gray leather, my wife's car has gray leather and we both hate it.
This was my option too. Anthracite headliner is almost black, covers the roof and pillars too tyhat will match with the floor too.
I did not want all black interior.

If you go with Black interior(PG/ or any), then the only option is to have anthracite headliner that will match with the black interior.
This was my option too. Anthracite headliner is almost black, covers the roof and pillars too tyhat will match with the floor too.
