if you are going to get a dark color have you consider "Black"

IMO this car has to be a serious color. I vote for the trendy white or the classic black
Carbon black (blue-black) is a nice color too.

This is a very nice color too! Actually all the "close to black" colors are looking good to me. Get the one with the better price/options/mileage.

My e38 '01 740 was Orient Blue w/tan and I really liked the combination so specifically looked for the dark blue e60 when ready to update my primary car. I was willing to consider any interior color but again got lucky and found tan.

The good news for you is there seem to be more white or black cars available - I saw a post that it was the most popular color this year. When I was shopping there were very few Monaco Blue e60's to look at.

That said, on many days and night, the dark Monaco blue color is very dark and 'almost' black! BTW, Orient Blue is not one of the color choices for the e60 on the BMWUSA website. Deep Sea Blue and Monaco are.

Since you are looking at CPOed, I'll go with white.
I haven't seen any CPO with dark color paint to my liking (and if there is one I am suspecious if the car has been re-painted), I can't stand a single swirl mark
