Monte Carlo blue is such a great colour!

Classy yet sporty

Singapore Grey is spectacular. Just don't make it grey on black.

Might be worth digging out the pics recently posted over at the other forum.

Not to point out the obvious but if you have always had black and are looking for a change you might consider a color other than black.

C'mon OP. On this board, given sufficient time, every single colour available will be recommended. Maybe even some not available It's a personal choice and subjective. So much so that what catches one person's eye will not catch another. I'm partial to blue, but others hate it.

If you want to be noticed, perhaps the M5 is not really the car for you. While we on these forums appreciate it, most people in the general public won't even give a BMW sedan a second look. I recommend buying the car and colour for you. It's a lot of money and should make you happy.

I have a white with black inside, I'd go Black/Silver inside next time....go to one of those big dealers they have most mainstream combo's there - it will be obvious - either that our take your partner to chose - always good to have buy in!

If you want "eye-catching," the stock options for exterior color are MCB and SO. If you really want to step it up, look at a custom color (they will build you just about anything, for a price) and/or a matte paint. If you haven't, here's some inspiration: http://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=632065
