I'm sure you old timers have been through this before, but I need to confirm my 07530D next week and can't decide between silver grey and titanium silver. I know dark colours are more individual but have my heart set on silver grey or silver - which is best !!!

Although my car is Titanium Silver, but when I see a Silver Grey on the road, I still think Silver grey looks the best, perhaps that is the reason BMW advertise this colour on their brochur as well. I personally think Silver Grey suits the E60 the best.

Ok so I WANTED Titanium Silver so much w M pack and grey dakota.

It shows the lines perfectly and the LOOK of the size is close to a 7er...

BUT then after some months it is not spec anymore,

we discussed and have now real black Jet w auburn I luv it.

So go for Silver Grey that is perfect look and a dynamic still elegant color for E60.

Good luck, never forget ... if our only prob wd always be to choose which color of E60 to order

but I remember I wanted to sign ASAP otherwise still today I could change what to order

Congrats!

Go for Silver Grey!

I red a fresh survey (EU, US and Japan) about car colors last week.

The most popular color on cars has been the (Titanium) Silver, over 20 %.
They even have better resale prices on the used car markets.

But the trend is now silver with a touch of an other color...

Here's a pic of my T Silver...

I went with silver gray and love it. It's a beautiful color. This color was developed specifically for the E60 to compliment its lines. And it's very low maintenance. More pix--click my gallery below.
