Azurite Black or Moonstone Metallic M5? I'm hurting!

gcmr · 04-24-2012, 07:46 PM

My production date is in less than two weeks and last chance to decide. I have ordered Moonstone with extended Cohiba Brown and Piano black interior. But I am loving the Azurite Black but with full leather in black. What to do! Have had black MB E63 and black E60 M5 and wanted a change but man that Azurite looks hot.

I say change it up and go for Moonstone. Azurite doesn't look different enough from the other blacks once it gets dirty.

Moonstone with Cohiba all the way!

Moonstone gets my vote too. If I went individual I would get something that's more standout as Individual.

Azurite black is gorgeous as well. Just needs certain lighting to see the beautiful blue sheen.

I think I'm going with Moonstone. It's just so damn classy!

I went for AZ. in the sun when its clean, it looks amazing but is definitely more stealth, so it depends what youre after. Moonstone will have more wow factor, but AZ is mean. I also have it with full black which I love.

Moon or Brilliant White!

I would go for moonstone as well, it's an amazing colour which doesn't come trough on pictures at all. Moonstone really does stand out among other M5's when you see it in real life. We have a customer car in Moonstone, cohiba and piano and it simply looks stunning. Don't forget to order the alcantara head liner by the way!

Here are some pictures, but again in real life much more impresive:

I have the moonstone individual. I did not appreciate the color till i saw my brother driving it infront of me. When you are close it looks different than when its on the street. I am not being biased but I told my brother I did not appreciate my colour till I saw you driving it infront of me

Ryan@IND · 04-25-2012, 12:25 PM

Both colors are great, but I also vote Moonstone with Cohiba. Doesn't get much more classy than that.

Sooo nice. That's like a milky silver. Very different.

So so true !!

excellent! Many thanks. We should not second guess ourselves. I will stick with the Moonstone and post some pretty pics at the end of May when the beast arrives. I was out of BMW for the last two years and am really looking forward to coming home with the F10!
