IPhone 6 does not take good pics. I apologize. It is Caramel leather in all the pics except for 1 - which is Amaro Brown.
Pic1 - Walnut Honey + Caramel + moonstone Pic 2: Sycamore red + Caramel + Moonstone In pic 1 and 2, caramel looks lighter than it actually is Pic 4: Sycamore + Caramel + space gray Pic 5: Walnut honey + Caramel + space gray Pic 6: Walnut honey + Caramel + Imperial Blue Pic 7: Walnut honey + Amaro Brown + Space gray (shades are messed up) Pic 8: Walnut honey + Caramel (looks much lighter than it actually is) + San marino Blue Pic 9: Sycamore + Caramel (looks much lighter than it actually is) + San marino Blue Last edited by E90potentialbuyer; 12-17-2014 at 08:41 PM.. |

I do like like the greys like space and mineral and every BMW I've owned other than my X5 (Black) has been in those colors, but blue is my favorite color I'm just not flashy. Moonstone is a great color in person too. I think San Marino is a beautiful color and would look good with your interior choices. SMB seems to approach that line between sleeper or subdued as opposed to here I am, look at me paint. I was torn between YMB and Azurite, but ultimately gave up and went with Azurite. Tough choice, good luck.

While I LOVE San Marino Blue on the M6, I don't like it on the M5.
For me, I prefer more subtle colors on the M5. I view the M5 as a low key, not flashy daily driver. But that's just my preference. My vote would be for your first two choice. M-stone or P-brown. The brown will be just a tad bit more 'luxury' in my opinion. But just slightly since moonstone is what I'd consider a 'warmer' hue of silver. The best thing is this... No matter what you choose, you just can't go wrong. Best of luck!

I think this would be gorgeous and a one-of-a-kind M5.

It's strictly a matter of personal preference but I can tell you that brown is probably the worst possible color for resale value, if you want to add that to your calculations. Any light color is easier to maintain that a dark color. Of the color combinations you are considering, I would vote for Moonstone with Caramel-Walnut Honey trim. It will probably be the only one in the entire world! |

I will be deciding in next couple of days. Safe to say pyrite brown is out of running now. It's moonstone, SMB or MCB.

Decided and locked. Moonstone it is!
Wife thinks SMB would be tiring after first few times. Darker Blues were ok but I know how much I have to work to keep them clean since any visible dirt bothers the hell out of me. I probably spent more time cleaning my car last winter than driving it. Now the wait begins to get the car.

Saw a moonstone M5 in person last week... you will not be dissappointed in this color, and I think your interior will complement it nicely...
If glacier silver was neutral, and silverstone was the "cool" silver, moonstone would be the "warm" silver. I think a moonstone vs. silverstone side by side would look cool.

http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1046898 Good description, I would add this; indy colours such as moonstone, champagne quartz, etc. have an iridescent effect that the likes of SSII lack. Some like this effect, some don't - I'd love to see Sepia on an F10 M5. |

Thank you. I posted this is on another thread - went to see a Moonstone in person which happened to have a Nutmeg interior. Loved the exterior and interior. Its just such a hard color to capture.
Thanks for sharing.

Pyrite Brown. It's like a darker shade of turd.

Have had moonstone M5 for three years. To this day I am impressed with the colour. Really holds up well over time.
Order in now for the M6 GC and I had a heck of a time not ordering moonstone again but just did not like like the look with the carbon fibre roof. |
