BMW Individual exterior color options include:

Black always looks great!!!

Sweet thread..

My E90 · 07-06-2011, 04:58 PM

Liking the Moonstone option - almost looks frozen. Best of both worlds?

Chips335d · 07-06-2011, 05:06 PM

Love these colors! (Still however wish there was a Red option)

Having trouble picturing blue brake calipers with most of these though...are we sure they will really be standard and not an option? I'm thinking they can't put them with every color...

My choice would be Moonstone or Citrine Black.

PALMAN · 07-06-2011, 05:14 PM

Nice

I wish I could see some Space Grey renders

Kayani_1 · 07-06-2011, 05:36 PM

MC blue, Frozen Gray, Frozen Silver and AW look good. The rest is just OK.

JSCO · 07-06-2011, 05:40 PM

White takes the cake...

Klier · 07-06-2011, 05:40 PM

AZURITE BLACK

same here it looks amazing

Davin · 07-06-2011, 06:41 PM

The F10 M5 looks better every time i see it. It looks great in all colors but I'll take one in Alpine/Mineral White Please!!!!!

MsCaballoVerde · 07-06-2011, 07:07 PM

Make mine one of two different ways:

(A) By the book: Havana Brown exterior over Sakhir Orange & Black full leather interior with fine-line dark brown wood trim; (completely dechromed with) black grilles, sidemarkers, all other trim, & black 343M rims (plus an extra set for Blizzak season); manual transmission & short-throw shifter; orange-anodized aluminum pedals with black rubber horizontal lines; all reasonable options except cruise control and those having to do with Apple entertainment (I'm undecided about rear-seat DVD players); carbon ceramic brake upgrade; performance steering wheel, if needed.

(B) Wild Style: Velvet Blue Metallic over Champagne & Black full leather interior with Olive Ash Red-Brown Trim...all else as in (A), above.

Mr Gunfun · 07-06-2011, 07:18 PM

That Moonstone metallic is going to be a win on the new F10 M5.
Pics are slightly wrong compare to the real life. It looks much better.

yashBMW · 07-06-2011, 07:28 PM

The configurator for the F10 is on the BMW UK website... It's pretty good

nlpamg · 07-06-2011, 07:56 PM

1sikbmr · 07-06-2011, 07:59 PM

+1 , I don't think I've ever seen a picture of Singapore Grey on a BMW or any other car for that matter..

slalomfever · 07-06-2011, 09:04 PM

Funny. This is the same exact set up I have on my E93.

BMWBoss · 07-06-2011, 09:49 PM

Black and Monte Carlo FTW!!

Yah. Managed to put together what I wanted (sans manual trans, which I understand is an NA feature alone) for the equivalent of about $80K. (Based on differential between X6M UK & US, and then cross-conversion on M5 prices.

Hell, I can't even build a fully-loaded M3 on the US configurator for less than 70K.

imperial blue is a win win for me
