My Ride: 2008 528i Premium Space Grey
I'm quite happy with my SGM. It does show dust quite a bit, certainly more noticeable than my previous Titanium Silver 3 series, but nowhere near as bad as black.
Interesting thing about Space Grey, it seems to sometimes take on a bit of hue from its surroundings. Park near a bunch of trees, I swear it looks a bit green. In the wide open under a bright blue sky, it almost seems blue.
No, I'm not on drugs...my wife has noticed this as well!

Thanks Calvin. Thats the good thing of being in the UK, when you can specify the M-Sport model. Comes as standard.... It would look better with that red and blue stitching which is found on the real M's... One day maybe!!!

I was originally considering Space Grey and Platinum Grey. I especially liked the Platinum Grey on the 3 series. I ended up not liking either as much as I thought I would on the 5 series and went with the Titaniuim Silver.
Personal preference. I think they both look nice.
Have you seen the grey interior?
I really didn't care for it at all, especially in a grey or silver car. Too boring.
I think any of the greys or silver would look great with the black interior.
