I think these cars look better with contrasting colors: dark exterior light interior, or light color exterior with a darker interior. So if you are set on the beige interior, I think a darker color exterior looks better - Orient blue looks fantiastic.

thanks for all of the replies. so the Silver Gray/biege combo is rare? i'm only thinking about biege because my current car has a black interior and looking for a change. it seemed to me like a lot of the ads/promotion pics i saw on BMW's website and elsewhere had the silver gray/biege combo.

in my eyes, the blue is a clear winner in the pictures.
darker color enhances e60's MEAN look.

"I have silver gray/black but i voted for blue since i personally think blue matches beige better"
I agree with alohalc and others because I think blue matches beige better. My E60 is silver gray / black, on the other hand.

the other reason why i picked silver gray/black this time because my e39 was blue/beige. and it's way harder to take care than silver gray/black for lazy people like me
