M5 - Pure Metal Silver Vs Yas Marina Blue Vs Shakir Orange
I am deciding between these there colors and going Individual route this time. Pre LCI I had MCB / silverstone.
Need help in deciding the interior with these colors. Black will be my last option. I'll be going Full Leather and price and wait time is not an issue. Please advise the best two interiror color combo with these exterior colors and also what kind of sticking or any other individual option I should pick. 1) Pure Metal Silver - I was thinking full platinum including platinum headliner. 2) Yas Marina Blue - Full platinum or silverstone and matching headliner. Can we order Yas marina blue ? 3) Shakir Orange - Apart from black or SO interior what else would look good here ? Any other color / combo suits M5 ( ext / int) ?

$10K...LOL. I think I like it and want to make my M5 unique this time. No regular colors . I am willing to pay if the wait period is not crazy.

+ The glossiest car finish I have ever seen - looks liquid - Silver has a warm hue rather than a cold hue. It's more like Porsche's Platinum Silver rather than Rhodium Silver. I don't like warm silver - I like the look of cold hard metal. Also because it is warm instead of cold in hue it doesn't look like liquid metal to me - it looks more like a platinum silver car covered in water. - While the gloss is impressive, I think it would be a nightmare to maintain in real world. I remember getting annoyed when leaf fall would cause faint marring on my gloss painted BMWs. On this car the effect will be even more extreme. I think this kind of finish is great in a showroom but has no business on a day-to-day drivable car. I would strongly encourage you towards a Frozen color - Frozen Grey/Opal White is my favorite combination. If you don't want to do that, then perhaps consider YMB, MCB, or a custom color. If you still decide to go with PMS then I think a Platinum interior is a must.

Leaning more towards YMB. Do you u know how much is cost for YMB and wait time ? What interior would like nice ? Platinum or silver stone ? Is a matching headliner a good idea, just to brighten up interior ?

I think Platinum goes well with YSB. Silverstone will work too and save you about $5000. I would get the matching headliner with Platinum because it does brighten the interior considerably. I used to have a full Platinum interior in my previous M5 and people were often wowed by it.

Yes the gloss is on another level entirely. However its the sustainability of the gloss that concerns me. Especially when spending 10-14k on this finish. Most other individual colors are $5k.
Imagine pollen season, dust accumulation, etc. The shinier the finish the more noticeable is surface dirt. By contrast on a frozen grey M5 like mine, surface dirt is barely noticeable. I parked my car outside for 30 minutes the other day and 2 people were taking photos of it when I got back. And bear in mind this car hadn't been washed in 6 weeks. Still looked stunning.

the YMB M5 iND did looked stunning in person. I really have grown to like that color. Silver looks nice but not worth the premium in my opinion. If you go for indiv you should strive for a color that stands out IMO.

Agree. However I would request Opal White instead of Platinum and see if they can do that. I think Opal White with YMB would be even more striking.

make sure you do contrast stitching. also if you are doing a non-black interior, I would recommend having individual do the back of the front seats in black. the contrast there helps a lot.

I believe PMS with what I term the 'avlnch' interior (do a search; as described above (contrast stitching and seat backs in black) in Amaro brown) would look great. IMO PMS looks pretty good under the lights in the following video, but as Stealth warns above (for YMB) may not look so good under natural light (pic below), especially in overcast weather conditions: -
If you're worried about maintenance, get it sealed with a new nano tech sealant (some of them now claim 9H hardness). If money/time not an issue, why not go full individual and commission your own colour(s). Have a search for the Blue.Thunder post if you have not already done so. This is the option to go for if you truly want a unique M5. Last edited by Dionysus; 06-14-2014 at 04:34 PM.. |

Don't under estimate a black interior with contrast stitching. Always looks fantastic.. And you could choose white or blue or whatever color exterior paint in thread color.

For my individual E60 M5 I did platinum headliner and platinum leather. Headliner matching leather color also looks great. Search avlnch frozen grey E60 M5 in Google if you want to see photos
There's F10 photos of platinum leather and headliner on this forum as well.
