What's your favorite F10 M5 color?

jphughan · 05-05-2012, 12:17 AM

Of those that are offered? Azurite Black, with Silverstone as a close second. Of all that could be gotten? Tanzanite Blue.

MCB is going to kill this.

///Marko · 05-05-2012, 04:09 AM

AW of those that are offered. Of those you could be gotten for huge extra $: San Marino Blue.

Seriously, these "which color" topics are like 50% of the forum now, when I see word "color" in the subject I stop reading the topic altogether.

Don't know about everyone else but that's the toughest decision since you can't see many of these in person. Picking the other options except maybe the stereo upgrade is easy.

Thank GOD Alpine White isn't the most popular (at least as of the time I'm posting this).

It is now

Being in my mid 40s I tend to lean more conservative in my color choices. Right now I'm torn between Black Sapphire and Imperial Blue. For some reason I am starting to like the darker colors with this body style <shrug>

Saphire Rules!!!

mhh · 05-05-2012, 03:05 PM

Is white even a colour?

Sure, in fact it's all colors! Black is the non-color since it absorbs everything.

AlpWhite11 · 05-07-2012, 12:43 PM

Alpine White and Monte Carlo Blue dominating. Looks like th frozen colors arent too popular at all.

and Monte Carlo blue is being excessively advertised everywhere, so Alpine White is the real winner

kpaschall · 05-07-2012, 06:51 PM

Be interesting to see if this ratio holds up on the US streets in fall... Also good to know which colors may end up being more unique!

kpaschall · 05-07-2012, 06:53 PM

I played it somewhat safe today and finalized my order with Space Grey exterior and Sakhir / Black interior. I was told i probably have 3-4 weeks i could still possibly change the color. Singapore Grey was a close 2nd.

#2 on the list at my dealer. Now the waiting begins.

PatrickC23 · 05-07-2012, 09:29 PM

Curious, is everyone voting for the color they bought or plan to buy? Im getting white, voted white, but Its pretty much a tie with MCB. Im also sure some people may love a color but not buy it for fear of getting sick of it over time, or maybe just playing it safe.

Hed · 05-07-2012, 09:52 PM

I ordered a Black Sapphire today with black full leather. I have been agonizing between black sapphire and Singapore grey. I was going to go with the Sakhir interior but I think I would tire of the color so I decided to play it safe.

matthewEW · 05-07-2012, 10:54 PM

Just got info that individual colors can be ordered. Now am having second thoughts regarding my initial Color. I want the Imola Red but I just have a feeling it'd clash with either the Gold Ceramic Brakes or the Blue Regular Brakes. Wish you could order the Ceramic Brakes in the same color as the cars body.

For $8500+ they should paint your ceramic brakes pink if u want

Imola red would look good with the gold ceramic brakes. See how good it looks on sakhir orange M6?

no surprise that MCB wins here. Its a great colour. I havent even seen it in the flesh, but I get it stands out very nicely
