I just got home from the Charlotte premiere of the F10 5 Series. It was held at the Betchler Museum of Art, along with the exhibition of an art car. I've now seen Alpine White, Deep Sea Blue, and now Space Gray, my favorite so far. Here are the pics:

No comments? I really like the F10 in Space Gray and was glad to see the gloss black trim with the sport package. I just want to wait and see what the M Sport package looks like.

Very nice Richard, thanks for sharing! Can't wait to get my hand on one to drive. Was at my dealer today talking about the end of my lease. Took an M3 for a test drive and unless the F10 puts on a really strong show, the M3 will be my next car...

I also just test drove an M3 Sedan, at the BMW Performance Center in a timed autocross no less. I agree with your statement but will miss the size and luxury of the 5.

I like it but it needs a M Tech kit and a set of fly wheels. BMW always rolls out the plain jane version of the 5 Series first. I don't get that as a marketing strategy.

Have you any pics of the Deep Sea Blue F10? It's the color I'm thinking of ordering, but haven't seen one yet.

I think Imperial Blue is a darker, like navy blue based on the colors that I've seen. My picture was on a very overcast day which dulls the pciture somewhat. Plus it matches the Deep Sea Blue on the Z4 which is a great color for it.
