Opinions on Color Needed

Hello everyone. I've had 3 bimmers all of which have been TiSilver with Black interiors. My kids (and all of their stuff) continue to take up more room so tomorrow I'll be picking up a 535 M-Sport but I can't decide between TiSilver/Black, Alpine White/Black or Alpine White/Oyster. If I was going to mod the car, which I likely won't, I would choose the AW/Black because that combo seems to work well with many wheel options but I think the TiSilver/Black looks the best with no mods.

What do you guys think? (by the way my wife like the AW/Black combo).

Lastly, should I get the Wheel/Tire Replacement Plan and why???? (just kidding!)

Alpine white on black all the way. With the M Sport it looks great stock.

IF you love Tit Silver like I do (my previous bimmer) then no color will ever be the same. BMW silver is a classic and so easy to maintain. I went with Space Grey, another nice color. Though not one you are considering, I thought I'd throw it in the mix.

Silver looks good and upkeep is easy.

Alpine White with Oyster or Cinnamon. The White M looks the best, especially when you throw on some CF lip and rear spoiler.

As for the plans, I usually decline everything.

I never regret for my choice. How about my Titanium Silver M sport! Soon I will put Morr vs8.2 gloss black wheels and eisenmann quad exhaust with gloss black tips. If you plan to get the xdrive, definitely get tire/wheel insulance. Goodyear LS2 tires for bmw xdrive's are not really strong enough. I changed my tires two times already due to bubbles.

Titan silver and black is a good choice, easy to keep clean and would last a long time fine, Titanium silver looks very good with M sports package and black interior. good choice.

I ended up choosing the Alpine White with Oyster/Black and the Ceramic Controls. While I've really enjoyed my prior two TiSilver/Black cars, I thought it was time for change of pace. I wasn't planning to mod but I'm already getting the bug for a nice set of black 20" wheels.

Thanks for the input.

Yay, I won.

Congrats and great choice!

Just picked up the car and absolutely love it. Completely blown away with the interior. The ceramic controls are stunning and add that high-end feel to an already killer car. With two kids (15 and 9) the Oyster will be a bear to keep clean but damn it looks good. Getting windows tinted in a few days and then we'll see what's next...
