Need help with Color!

Hirenarora · 10-08-2015, 12:44 AM

I currently drive a 2013 528i. M5 has always been my dream car. I think its time for to get one. I really love the Alpine white & Singapore Grey. My current 5 series is DGM. So i am pulling towards Alpine white, but after seeing some pics of Moonstone Metallic I just cannot get over the color. Any suggestions would greatly help. Cannot see one in person as there is only one dealership here. I have locally seen 3 M5(Alpine whites) wanted to be a lil different.
Thanks

White is more risky, some say it doesn't really work with the m5, Singapore Grey is safe and business like. Go with grey, it's my second favourite m5 colour.

I've only had my Silverstone 2016 M5 for just over a month now, and I've probably had at least a half dozen people comment how much they love the color. I even had a guy roll down his window at a stoplight to ask me the color. He said he was on his way to the BMW dealer to order an M4 and because he saw my car he decided to switch his color choice to Silverstone.

I think white works with any BMW, except it's too common.

Silverstone or Space Grey IMO look best. My favorite colors on the M5 are the Blue and Sakhir Orange

Another shot side by side

I was interested in SG and white as well, I am happy with my SG purchase. SG changes so many shades in different light, sometimes it looks like a regular grey and other times it looks blue/green. The white looks great still, they seem to hold value pretty well too. However, AW has been around for so long, every 3rd BMW I see on the street is AW. Mineral white is the white to have.. too bad its too new for the f10. It looks so good on the F3Xs.

Hirenarora · 10-08-2015, 10:57 AM

Thanks guys still deciding between Silverstone or Moonstone. I have also had space grey before.

GOLFFRR · 10-08-2015, 10:58 AM

silverstone looks amazing on the M5 in person.

Hirenarora · 10-08-2015, 11:02 AM

Thanks Goffrr. I have been in touch with David. 😄

+1 for silverstone

E90potentialbuyer · 10-08-2015, 07:26 PM

These are all nice colors. But I love moonstone. I was deciding between moonstone, SG and Silverstone. Went with Moonstone. It's a stunning color. I have received so many compliments on it.

If you are in NYC area, more Han welcome to come on by and check out the color in person. It can look pearl, white, flat gray, and a bit blue at times. It's stunning.

E90potentialbuyer · 10-08-2015, 07:28 PM

Here are the pics.

Niko1414 · 10-08-2015, 07:39 PM

I've had both and moonstone got the most attention on my M6GC

Hirenarora · 10-08-2015, 08:13 PM

Thanks for the pics. MOONSTONE it is

Hirenarora · 10-08-2015, 08:15 PM

I am leasing, is it worth the extra $1950?

Only you can answer it. Is it worth it to you?

Hirenarora · 10-08-2015, 08:57 PM

I think it is. I don't wanna have a regret i didn't own it.

It's absolutely worth it. Love this color. It's got such a nice sheen to it. Moonstone is the perfect name for this color.

I don't think I can ever get any other color in BMW's after this.

E90potentialbuyer · 10-08-2015, 09:08 PM

BTW, in that pic above, you can see a silverstone M3 parked next to my Moonstone M5. You can see both the colors.

Silverstone has a bluish tint while Moonstone has a pearl and gray tint to it...
