Hi guys,
Well i have about 10 days left to decide if i want to change anything on my special order 2006 525i.
The car will be a November production and will be delivered in December.
Now I ordered it in silver gray with auburn interior and since I ordered the car in august ive been seeing alot of pictures of the alpine white and it has grown on me tremendously.
This has been troubling me for the past 2 weeks and I really don't know what to do...
I think the silver gray is gorgeous but i just think that its very common and alot of people have that color.
And the white is a color you rarely see...
So basically what should i do??? I'm goin nuts here!!!
Silver/Gray with auburn interior and anthracite wood or Alpine White with auburn interior and anthracite wood.
Please guys any suggestions and opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I suggest you go to the readers pics section and see which color makes your heart pump faster. I don't have pics in the gallery so go here for pics of my silver grey. I like the white too. And, the black. And, the blue. And, the red. And, the other silvers. And, the .... I would go with the color I like best no matter how common it is.

Yep. You have a problem, and you have admitted it. They say that's the first step.

Go with your first instinct. I would go with your original order. I know silver grey is very common, but consciously that was your original choice and chances are that is the color that will make you happy. There is a reason why you picked that color in the first place. I don't think you will have any regrets over that. Just my opinion.
