M-technic Silvergrey whith beige dakotaleather
Hello I just got back from my Sa whith bad news. He said if i canceld my car i am going too lose 20000-25000 sek. So i have too keep the car but if somebody is interested in similar car whith my options and my color, he well sugest my car. Then i will not lose samething and i can reorder my car to Carbonblack whith beige dokata leather. I can only pray and hope that somebody have same taste and buy it before 25 may.

I let my wife pick the color on our 5er. At least here in the states you can't really pick a bad color so I was content to let her make any choice she wanted. Seeing the cars in person I felt it looked great in any color though we've less choices than you do across the pond.
The silver-grey is going to look sweet! Just start showing your wife some choice pics. Her initial choice was a very good one.

Silvergray is a perfect color. You will love it.. For me it is the best color I ever chose on a car. A was really fond of the lighter grey (had a few cars in that color) and blue but this is perfect.. The car never looks very dirty and when you wash it and give it a wax it looks great.
Plus carbon black = swirl marks

Keep looking at the pic of Stream's E60 on his signature - I love it
Did it for me as I choose mine after seeing it!
If you have loads of cleaning time stick with the CBlack.
Have you ordered high gloss shadow line?

[/quote]As Elvis would say...thank you very much.
When I first saw that pic after I uploaded it to my PC, I thought--wow, why hasn't BMW used that angle in any of their promotional shots?
Everybody has their own color preference, but I've owned many, many cars, and I can say that silver gray is the best color I've owned--not too dark, not too light, and a beautiful color in the sunshine. And it shows off the lines of the E60 so well. I read somewhere that it was developed specifically for the E60. So look below for another pic...and more in my gallery...

[/quote]Actually, that's one of the things I like about the color--the blue hue in certain lighting. That's the wondeful thing about colors--everybody has their favorites.
