BEAUTIFUL!

Question, what tint is the Platinum interior? The white balance varies on some pics. If you put a white printer paper next to it, is the Platinum somewhat more cream, tan, blueish, grayish, or pure white?

It's a cream color. Similar to what Porsche calls cream and Aston Martin calls cream truffle.

Probably the most gorgeous of BMWs leathers. When I had a Platinum interior I got lots of glowing comments on it.

Damn. I can't decide if your interior is better or your exterior. This has got the be the most individual F10 M5 in the world. It's truly one of a kind and is done in such a classy way that I seriously think you deserve some sort of award for class, style, and above all else originality and taste! I almost want to fly over there to see your M5 in person. It's almost as if your M5 is too special to be driven. It belongs in a museum!

Stealth, you're absolutely right! There are many beautiful leather colors from BMW Individual and surely it depends on personal taste.
But I wanted a comfortable and luxurious interior that doesn't have to hide from a 6 or 7series. And It's not the first time that I have this color of leather in a BMW. I love the Platinum leather !

And I wanted to combine the luxurious interior with the natural athletic character of the exterior of the m5 that I refine with chrome applications.

Thank you !
I WANTED it to be unique! And indeed sometimes I stand in front of the beast and think I should conserve it for ... later... I don't know.
But otherwise it is SOOO MUCH FUN TO DRIVE so that I can' t resist it !

@RPiM5
You're very welcome to come to Germany and see me and of course the beast ! We could let her fly on the Nordschleife.
So, PM me when you are again in Germany!

In fact I want to go the Nordschleife in spring/summer. We can meet there and let our babys fly!

Maybe I will be in the near of Cologne, I could PM you and we can meet.

Warum schreibe ich eigentlich nicht auf deutsch mit dir???
Sehr schön!

Sofern Du Richtung Köln oder Nürburg unterwegs sein solltest, gib mir bitte kurz vorher Bescheid.

Ich fahre bedingt durch meinen Beruf als Automobilverkäufer immer verschiedene Fahrzeuge.

Ich peile aber in naher Zukunft an, ein "privates" Fahrzeug zu kaufen.

I doubt that this is the car SCOTT26 was talking about, because it is not the first BMW in this color. I posted a link to a gallery of an F31 in the same color, but a moderator removed it.

I've done about 12k... why? ... BECAUSE I LOVE DRIVING THIS BEAST !!! I CAN'T STAND IT !

Please look at the beginning of the thread. I took delivery on Nov. 9th 2013. I waited and configured my beast over 2 years before I pulled the trigger at my dealer on July 1st 2013. It took them so long at M Gmbh/Individual to confirm the many special individual customizations and their combinations. But as far as I know the "real" production commenced in Sep/Oct.
The time for the full leather with contrast stitching was 12 weeks!

And now we're waiting for your next BMW !

The cream tone is too warm for the monochrome frozen grey look. I wanted to go with Opal White on the Frozen Grey M5 however the BMW USA regional rep denied the request. Silverstone was the closest thing I could get to a cool white. At the time I ordered I hadn't yet met my direct liaison at BMW Individual who later told me that the Opal white was possible and next time I should call him direct.
