PS. I mean the first large picture not the ones at the bottom which are Space Grey.

It's the Space Grey, just with some blue reflections on it.

From the writeup: All-wheel-drive will be offered on all engine variants (automatic only) by the end of the year. Can anyone else corroborate? I've seen few details of the xDrive models, probably because they won't be out until fall, but this is disappointing. The current 5 series models offer xDrive with manual transmission option, so I hope they are not taking it away. I currently drive a 328i xDrive manual and I was really looking forward to a new 528i xDrive manual next spring. I realize that manual transmissions account for only a small fraction of sales and probably an even smaller fraction of those are xDrive models, but give me a break I live in Michigan!

Was there any discussion regarding the timing of the M-Kit for the 550, I am planning my ED of a 550i for the first week of August...fingers crossed on the availability of the M-kit.
