colour is obviously a very personal thing but I think you find this colour is one of the betterones.
Really great looking car. I'm guessing that yours might still might be Xirallic. I checked the brochure last night and Sophisto Grey II is shown as Xirallic but on the website is now metallic so I think the change to metallic is fairly recent - certainly when I was speccing my car at the beginning of May I'm sure it was still Xirallic.

I will say this: I HIGHLY recommend that you go with a combo that has black carpet (such as oyster/black like I have). Black carpet is just so much easier and I think it looks better. I also happen to think that oyster looks way better than beige
At first I was going to go with Oyster/Black but I think the Oyster is too white/creamy. I've had Beige in my previous 530 and like the warmer feel. I also dropped the black anthracite headliner because I don't like dark interiors (another reason for not going the M Sport route). I'll probably put down a black floor mat just to give a bit of contrast and keep it clean
