So why did they buy your first car back?
I've modified the potential order to include the anthracite headliner. Thanks for the info, I'm looking at getting the following:
2008 535xi, PG, dark poplar wood trim, black leather, sport pkg, auto, pdc, night vision, hud, nav, cold weather pkg, premium pkg, heated rear seats, split folding read seats, rear sun shades, logic7, ipod, and hd radio, and anthracite headliner.
The dealership warned me with the hud it's rougly 3k to replace the windshield. Ouch!

Good Luck and I'm glad you enjoyed the photos.

I am very pleased with Space Gray. Everybody has liked the Creme Beige interior with it as well. It does hide the dirt well.

I was going to order Space Grey initially, but after seeing both colors in person, went with Platinum Grey. I went with a black leather interior and dark bamboo trim (which is stained an almost-black dark espresso shade). I kept the standard grey headliner so the entire interior would not be too dark. So far I've been very happy with my choice - the platinum grey sparkles and takes on a slight bluish hue under the sun, which I like. Can't go wrong with either color though.

Long story but I just added a new post regarding the problems I had. I would hold off on the night vision, heated rear seats and definately get the comfort access.. Comfort access is a must.....
I'm on the fence with the night vision. I commute about 30+ miles each way to work and am up and driving well before sunrise most of the year. I figured the night vision would be a neat feature since the highway I drive isn't lit and has lots of critters, deer, coyotes, etc. I didn't think comfort access was worth it, 1k for not having to push the button to open the door or insert the key before hitting the start / stop button. Not really a "must have" in my book. The heated front and rear seats are "must have" in the northwest. There is nothing fun about getting in a cold car and sitting on cold leather seats in the winter! Thanks for the feedback.

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?

I have maked the same changing of the colour ( after seeing both of them in the production line by BMW in Dingolfing.
I have combined this with leather natural brwon = absolutly perfect.
