Help on deciding which color to get

WhyGeeGee · 07-03-2013, 05:44 PM

I'm planning to get an M5 and the dealer has 4 cars in the showroom and I'm not sure which color to pick :

1- Silverstone.

2- MCB.

3- Sakhir Orange.

4- Alpine White.

All the cars have Skahir orange interior.

I think the SO interior cuts down the exterior color choice pretty quickly.

SO exterior is my favorite, but SO inside and out is just toooo much orange for my taste. And MCB with SO is just too weird. I think another member referred to it as "Superman".

Although I think SO could go with Silverstone, AW over SO would be the best combo by far imho.

I think Silverstone is the perfect color for the F10. AW is just...meh, and MCB with SO interior is a matter of taste (I like it). But why are you asking? Stare at each of them for 2 minutes and you'll see which you like most.

But I wonder, the dealer has 4 cars and all have the SO interior? lol
How about extras? And which one is a good deal?

IMHO the SO interior only looks great on the AW exterior, it looks alright on the other colors. It's your car, you have to look at it and drive it every day, so get what sings to you.

PatrickC23 · 07-03-2013, 06:25 PM

FROZEN WHITE - or what I got, Alpine White. I did the same, picked my colors from inside out.

M54ccibo · 07-03-2013, 07:51 PM

Kinda partial to AW and SO. Another great combo is Singapore Grey with Sahkir Orange...

Wish mine had the so interior. Didn't have that option at the time I bought mine.

Spinny02 · 07-03-2013, 08:37 PM

AW +1

wisesoul · 07-03-2013, 09:25 PM

Pay extra and get Moonstone! I think that would look insane on a Sakhir Orange interior

The thing is we have only 1 BMW dealer in our country and all the M5 cars they ordered have SO interior which is something I have to live with if I don't want to wait for a custom made car.

Regarding the extras they order all their cars with the same options but with different colors so the only choice you have is the colors.

the reason I'm not ordering my own M5 is because they are giving me a really nice discount on the ones they have in stock. I wasn't even thinking of trading my GC for an M5 but the other day I was just joking around with the salesperson about getting an E63 when he said that he can give me a better offer on the M5 and that's why I'm considering the M5.

simonlam168 · 07-04-2013, 12:35 AM

AW or FW

Rob///M5 · 07-04-2013, 01:03 AM

Also, what color would be the most unique in your town/city? Something to think about.

This.

SO(:

B-1Pilot · 07-04-2013, 11:54 AM

See them in person even if on another model of at all possible. This is what ultimately put me on to a color I never thought I would choose.

I did and I like both SS and MCB and I can't decide which one to get

Pazzo009 · 07-05-2013, 08:18 PM

All those colors are cool. SO is a great interior color. However MCB and SO just doesn't go right. I'm not a fan. I have MCB with SS and I'm very happy.

singularity · 07-05-2013, 08:29 PM

So SO is very so so

mhh · 07-05-2013, 09:21 PM

AW is the only color I'd buy if SO is the only interior choice. Your dealer isn't too bright with his stock ordering, IMO.
