Just haggling over the money right now by e-mail with the dealer but can't decide between Sophisto Grey and Black Sapphire - I think I'll probably go safe with the grey but I just looooove black cars!

Decision by Saturday on a January delivery for a 520D....my first ever BMW!

I am waiting for the 535d in the US. In the meanwhile I have visited many dealerships with lots of colors on display to decide on a color. All I can tell you is that everytime I go I change my mind!

Most consistent on the top list every time I go are AW and Space Grey.

But Sophisto and Black Metallic are always in the mix just not sure I would like for 5 years.

Jet Black is great if I had time to keep it up.

I also think the same of Carbon Metallic - great color but how much work?

Titanium - basic and dependable. Not too exciting but with a nice black interior and headliner it would be an easy car to take care of.

The Blues look nice in person from certain angles with a dark rich color. Other times it just looks "too" blue.

The darkhorses are Mojave and Tasman Green. Mojave is very nice but again not sure it is a color you like in 3-5 years. Tasman looks almost grey from some angles/sunlight. Actually a lot less green from all angles than I would have anticipated.

One thing that I certainly decided on is that the interior most likely will be black Dakota or Nappa and depending on the exterior possible black headliner.

Now you see my dilemma! Help!

It's a bit like asking what your favourite vegetable is - the best colour is the one which suits your personal preference .
I went for white; not because I particularly like it, but it's the same colour as the primer, which means the stone chips don't show up so much.

Do you also wear brown underwear so that skid marks don't show?

Not wanting to "burst any bubbles" Jon, I have the AW M3 E90 and all stone chips have turned out "GREY"

Cashmere Silver

I ordered Cashmere Silver (f11), which I don't see on your list. Or is it named differently?

Mine will be here any day now!! On the truck from California 535i XDrive

Deep Sea Blue/ Oyster/Black

I have had Titanium Silver and it is very nice. 325 XI

I almost went with the Mohave, but when I saw it at the dealer it just was not me!!

Saw the Deep Sea Blue and I said wow!! It looks awesome specially when the sun hits it.

Yes, I already have one on the roof, but it's far less noticeable than the myriad stark white pits contrasting with the lovely Le Mans Blue on my old E92.
