White with Cinamon was my first choice but the dealer talked me out of it saying that the cinamon was very salmon pink in real life. Have you seen a car with cinamon as I would love a car with that interior if it's not to pinkish? I ended up ordering Jet Black with Oyster/Black.

I have just traded in my 51000 mile E60 530D M sport in TS for a F10 BMW 523 i manual. I think I must be in mourning for my departed car as I think it was the best car I have ever owned. However time moves on and I needed to reduce the cost of the new purchase. The car I bought was a cancelled order and about £9000 cheaper than list with 14 miles on the clock. Alpine White with Cinnamon leather interior, I don't see it as salmon colour, just my opinion. Just before I decided to buy the dealer put 20 inch alloys on it to replace the standard 17s, which I have to say change the look of the car for the better. Its very smooth to drive but will have to get used to the electronic handbrake.

I ask you, its got electric adjustable headrest, clearly a must have (not). Nicely built car which looks quite striking in Alpine white. Still trying to get my head around no dip stick to check the oil (What will I do on Sundays

Any other 523i owners here who will make me feel happier about my purchase In truth I am happy with my purchase but the E60 530D M sport was just one of those cars thats stick with you as an experience.

I will post a few pictures when it stops raining

Hi BRAD,

I love black but the Kasmir Silver seems to be very popular over here.
It's a bit more than the plain Titanium Silver.

I went for Space Gray for my F10. My E60 was Titanium Silver which was absolutely awesome and
I never regretted it the past four years or so.

But for the F10, it just seemed a bit too bulky/big for Titanium Silver and after comparing the colors
at the dealer's, thinking about it for a week or so, I went for the darker Space Gray that brings out the
curves more....

How about Milano Beige Metallic? All the 6 series ads have it, and it is an elegant color. Best of all, distinctive, because so few people have it.

TS is great, I had one E39, one E60 and one E61 in this color and was one of the best I ever had. Till the end I was in doubt if to buy TS again on the F11. I took it white only because I had too many silvers so far.
However after having confirmed the colour and the car was already produced I saw an F13 650i Msport in TS and I must say it is still fantastic looking.
