Congrats!!
Be sure to go through all the photos of those colors in the photo compilation threads @ http://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=632065 Both are great colors, but I vote for Singapore Grey if you're looking for the most subtle color, which darker colors tend to be.

Congrats. you are a happy man M5 is very expensive in Norway. Singapore Grey looks nice but it will be a lot of it. M5 is a special car maybe you can look at the BMW Individual exterior color options: I went for individual Champagne Quartz Metallic for my 535d Xdrive. Good luck Regards from Norway

I like the Singapore too. Silver BMW's do look good, but they are a dime a dozen; and although Silverstone is unique to M models (I believe); I also believe Singapore is unique to M5's (right now, likely will show up on the M6) so maybe a tad more special too.

Silverstone all the way.
First, it looks better than any other color if you haven't washed the car that day (if you wash your car every day, then get black). Second, it will look better in a couple years because you won't see any of the chips on the hood or fenders. Third, it looks way better than any color with the blue calipers (except possibly Monte Carlo Blue). Fourth, I got ZERO tickets in 130,000 miles in my Silverstone M5 (also partly due to the two radar detectors and the laser jammer as well). |

Silverstone I reckon. Singapore looks a bit too stealth!! Silverstone is a lovely shade of silver!
so I just noticed your Origiinal post - go for the grey if you want as stealth as possible! Last edited by phish_100; 03-20-2012 at 04:43 AM.. Reason: mistake |

I would say to go with Silverstone. Both colors seem subtle really. Colors that arn't subtle are the MCB/Frozen colors.
But thats just my opinion. + The chrome sidevents seem to not "show" as much on lighter colors, more reason to get Silverstone. Unless you plan on changing those. |

Singapore G is nice but I found it a little bland for my tastes, I would rather go with a SS or even Space Grey both will look great with the blue calipers.

I think a bright color would look nice in New York so go for Silverstone, Moonstone, Alphine White, Brilliant White or Frozen Silver

Silverstone. F10 body looks soo good in lighter colors. Easier to maintain.
A classic BMW M exclusive color.

Really you can't go wrong here - what interior were you thinking? That will play a large part in my recommendation.

Yes, this: The windows are going to be tinted fairly dark, so the interior color will hopefully not detract from the "stealth" appearance. It will just be a revelation when the passengers get in. |

Sakir is really nice, I drove 2 cars with that interior in Spain. I would go for it but my wife would freak! It looks amazing with Singapore grey, check my photos in my signature.
