Just ordered M5. December build - January delivery. Can't decide between Black Safire or Silver Gray. Also need comments on whether HUD is worth it. Have to decide in next few days.

Black Saphire.

Get HUD - it's awesome (esp. with the SMG III setup) And, honestly, if you are already spending 90K on a car, what's another 1K for a cool gadget/option, right?

HUD is a must, especially on the M5. I'm partial, but my vote is silver gray. Beautiful color and low maintenance. Black looks great right after being detailed...for about 5 minutes!

pbsaj,

Wish I had the luxury of making such a decision.

At any rate, here is a poll showing the most popular choices for some of the forum members:
