Went to see some samples of color and saw a choise I could live with! To bad they don't have the Sepang and Interlagos as choise for us dealy ones. I think we can get it as Individual for $4000 extra...

I'm closing in on ordering an 07 with a manual tranny and am thinking about Interlagos Blue (more sporty IMO) or Sepang Bronz (more classy IMO).

What do you guys think?

IB is very nice when it?s clean. But I have noticed that it?s very sensitive and scratches very easily.
A little too flashy for my taste.

SB is really nice when you see it IRL. Very classy, especially with the matching interior ( sepang? ).

I saw an Interlagos Blue at my dealer recently. I think it is very sharp and really stands out. As much as I like it I personally think I would grow tired of it. It is a little flashy for me, but still a beautiful color in person.

silverstone and then black. IMHO the only suitable colors M5 deserves.
the other colors don't mage with the overal idea and image of the car I think. The other colors are more like lazy S class limo

You should be able to get any "M" color free, and not pay any extrra charge, and its not $4000.00 BMW only charges $1,500 for none M3, M5, or M6 colors. Soo either your dealership or BMW North America is making a a huge profit from your choice of colors. I just picked up my 2005 M5 two weeks ago. My M color is carbon black

Here we can get the Carbon black with M-pack or as individual. The exact cost of individual color is a total of 24000sek ($3000) with 25% VAT. But if you order M-pack and want IB or SB, you have to add it as induvidual and it's the same $3000.
