Silver Grey: it is neutral.
I had numerous cars in Titan Grey -> I wanted a change.
I hope it is as dirt and scratch resistant as the Titan Grey.

I'm considering that deep red metallic for my M5.. I'd like to see it on car first though, but with a black interiour, dark windows, black sunroof etc. that might just work.
If it doesn't, it will be silver again. The car looks a lot bigger and sharper in lighter shades. It needs blackened windows in a light colour though.

I love the look of the E60 in black but I've had black cars before and for me black shows the dirt too soon after washing (especially in a typical Chicago winter). I went with Titanium Grey which still looks classic and shows less dirt between washes. I also thought it would be a more unique color since most BMWs in my area are silver or black. So far there are four Titaniunm grey 545s in the parking garage where I work - oh well.

I've had four Alpine White BMW's since 1989. It's hard for me to think about any other color now. There are way too many black and silver BMW's on the road.
For some reason, there aren't too many white ones around here. If I had to pick a different color, I think I'd go with the Olivin...

Jet Black I decided on. Black is always a classic. I must admit every 545i I've seen is a keeper. Black is just my preference. I saw a Charcoal grey today and it sure looked great.

Waiting for february delivery of 325i Touring and 130i
oxford green on my touring; my alternative was orient blue. (black, silver and dark grey are too common overhere)
besides that, our Mini Cooper S Works is british racing green so what other choice did I have
btw I must admit Oxford Green is better looking on a Touring than a Sedan.
