My Ride: 530i, Silver Grey, Black Dakota, Steptronic, Premium, PDC, Logic7
I also have Silver Grey with Black interior and am happy with it. I like the way the various creases in the body catch the light. SG looks pretty good clean or dirty and from any distance.

RUTHLESS, I had the same dilema. It took me about 6 months to decide. There were a couple of things that helped me make the decision. 1. I have had a black car before and you HAVE to clean it all the time. I chose silver grey and I can go 2 weeks or so between cleanings. 2. Any scratch or stone ding shows up on black. It is almost invisible on the silver grey. 3. The lines on the front hood and down the side are not quite as noticeable on the black. I think they look more pronounced on the silver grey, especially at dusk.
Just my own person 2 cents worth.

I will post some pics over the next couple of days. I just like the silver grey for the reasons I stated above and becasue I think the beige interrior looks more luxurious especially with the poplar wood trim. That of course is just personal opinion and everyone else has their own likes and dislikes.
