Trying to decide on color for the M5. Which do you all think is better, black, or silver or silver gray? I think silver and gray bring out the contours and lines of the car, but black makes it look beastly and mean.
I'm torn...
Any advice?

I sometimes wish that my car was a lighter color like silver or white since you can see all the lines/curves of the car and mods tend to stand out more. That said, most likely if I was to buy another car, it would still be black. Black just seems to fit the beasty nature of this car. Silver seems to blend in with the background on the roads.
Of course, no offense to all the silver car owners here. This is all a personal perference for us.

My Ride: 2008 535i / Black Sapphire / Premium / Navigation / Bluetooth / PDC / USB Audio Integration / 6 Speed Sport Automatic with Steptronic / Logic 7 / Comfort Access / Auto Folding Mirrors / Comfort Seats / Rear Heated Seats / 35% Tint All Around / Black Dakota Leather
For an M5 I would go with Interlagos Blue, but Black would be my second choice.
