Colour choice on new M5

[drnat]

Well, after getting the 530d & not being happy swapping to an M5. Ordering in the next couple of days once finalised spec....

Final choice re colours is Black Sapphire (same as the car I had for 2 weeks) or Singapore Grey - I haven't seen the later in the flesh & the pics in BMW used car aren't that great.

Any comments or better photos re these 2 choices? I am going for SS interior...

Thanks,

Out of the two I would choose SG because it's an 'M' colour.

SG, with BS from far it is gonna look like normal 5 series

If you get the competition wheels, silver is the way to go. Otherwise get an M color. I got black which is nice but blend in with the multitudes of black 550i sports in my area.

if you can get San Marino Blue or Sakhir Orange

would be the brightest M5 in our country

why is silverstone 2 not very popular?

Definitely get a color that will show off your M5. I worked with my dealer and got my 2014 M5 in Imola Red which is not normally offered on M5. Was extra $$$ but well worth it.

i got my 2014 in singapore gray, it is always a preference. The color definitely changes as the light varies. I looked at the car at night, during the day, and inside. good luck!

I went with Black Sapphire and very happy with it. I don't like azurite black at all. Citron seemed interesting, though.

I also loved moonstone and amazonite, though I couldn't get an individual color if I wanted the car to be delivered in time for my original ED pick-up date. For silverish colors, I prefer those two to silverstone because I don't like the light blue hue in SSII, personally.

I love your imola red... really sharp. I would have also enjoyed melbourne red on the M5. I had MB red on my 09 M3 vert and it was stunning!

Between BS and SG, I'd go with SG. It's such a unique and interesting color.

I'll be ordering a SG 2014 In the next few months. I love love love black when clean and waxed. It's just too common though.

SG can be both very rich and very boring. I love my Bimmers black....badass.

What about this one? Not my cup of tea but definitely unique:

An additional two...

[URBAN LEGEND]

Black, silver and white are the most popular colors picked by US buyers on all cars and trucks. So if you want to be truly different then stay away from the 3 most picked colors.

*cough*San Marino Blue*cough*

There's been some changes since that photo...
