I originally signed up for VDC tour on 10/15/05 so i can see if i am lucky enough to at least see Orion Diamond docking.
My car should be easily recognizable since i am probably the only one that made the dumb silver grey/silverstone combination ( i have been kicking myself in the rear on not going with silvergrey/black combo).

[/quote]AWESOME!!! See you there! Have you gotten a response from them yet??
I hope we'll see your car. I want to see it. or any M5 for that matter! I like siverstone interior... not a bad choice!
Personal preference would be Interlagos Blue with Silverstone.

As someone who does not care for black interiors at all I think you made a good choice by getting something other than black. Silverstone should be great. As a matter of fact I love all the M5 interior colors other than black and Indianapolis Red. I would have a hard time choosing between Silverstone, Sepang Bronze, and Portland Brown.

I agree with your choice of silverstone for the interior. I like the black interior on the M6 and the 997S, but in the M5 it's just too much black. The silverstone is much more interesting with the contrasing colors. Good choice.

Thank you both for the encouragement.
I really did not like black either, since it would be quiet hot during the summer time.
I would much prefer that BMW offered light grey on the M5. Since that was not available i went with silverstone interior.
However, I have been second guessing myself since silverstone interior appears to be quiet light in color (at least from the brochure it looks almost like white). I am not sure how good the interior will look in person or how well it will go with silvergrey (light color in itself).
The more i think about i just keep on thinking that black and silvergrey would go better.
So far I have seen tons of Silvergrey M5 being ordered, and I am the only one that went with silvergrey/silverstone combination.
In addition, my wife has been nagging at my ears about how difficult it would be for me to keep the silverstone interior clean.
Anyway, I think i will feel better once i got into the car and start driving. Which is still long time away (I suppose, don't know when CARB issue will be resolved).

IMHO, Black is boring and unimaginative. Browns don't go well with gray or silver so your only other choices would be silverstone or the indy red... or navy if you could pick an individual color. You made the best choice given your options.
