I went to look at an F10 in SMB with only a couple of thousand miles on it, but when starting it up, the engine sounded like a bag of nails so I walked away.

I then went and bought this....

EDIT: Here is an F10 in SMB (nothing to do with me)

Favorite m5 color - orange 🍊

When I found mine, I knew I had to have it.

Carbon accents make it look nice.

I saw one orange m5 down south for sale. Is that the one you picked up? Congrats that's a unique and sick color.

A color I wish was offered on M5 which is on my 750li is carbon black metallic. None of the pictures online do it any justice. In person in the sun even when dirty looks amazing with the sparkle of blues. In the low light/clouds and at night looks like a solid black.

Car was purchased in Orange County. Thank you! I love the car so far. Only hiccup is the 15 mpg I average. 😂😂😂

I loved my frozen cashmere f10 such a subtle yet cool color.

Actually Pure Metal Silver is my current favorite.

[RPiM5]

Of the standard factory colors and Individual Colors that came on the F10 these are my favorite:

- Sakhir Orange
- Moonstone
- Silverstone II
- Pyrite Brown
- Frozen Bronze
- Imperial Blue

Then there's the colors that were super Individual:

- Imola Red
- Ferrari Red
- Laguna Seca Blue
- San Marino Blue
- Frozen Cashmere
- Oxford Green

As for colors that I wish would have been on the F10, but I'm not sure if any were ever produced:

- Carbon Black
- Monaco Blue
- Austin Yellow
- Melbourne Red

Then there's the colors that I'm sure no F10 were ever produced in that I would have liked to have seen:

- Sepang Bronze
- Interlagos Blue
- Mexico Blue
- Frozen Moonstone


Out of the standard and Individual Colors that I wish I could have gotten, I would have done my M5 in Moonstone. I've only ever seen 1 Moonstone F10 M5 in my life and I still wonder where it is today. Lol!

But out of the Super Individual Colors I think I would have chosen San Marino Blue. It's probably one of the best blues BMW ever made.

Melbourne Red would've looked good too, and Frozen Moonstone would have been one of a kind!

Wow, there's some real unicorns out there then! I actually saw a Pyrite Brown F10 M5 in real life, along with Imola Red, Frozen Cashmere, and Laguna Seca Blue.

To be honest Frozen Mooonstone was one of my secret colors, I was gonna order a brand new M5 in, but I ended up keeping mine instead. Maybe I'll get a G90 M5 in that color if the G90 turns out to be a car that I want one day.

I’m a fan of mine. Frozen Blue Metallic

Citrin black is a nice color, but in the end it's still black. Not a huge fan of black cars.

Amazonite is definitely a cool color and works well on the F10.

I'm a big fan of blue shades. So, I like (in no particular order) the Monte Carlo blue, Imperial Blue, and the matte blue individual color... can't think of the name right now.

Totally agreed. My first F10 was sapphire black, my second one was imperial blue and my current one is frozen blue individual (matte blue).

Also my favorite, but obviously I'm biased. I didn't love it in the pictures before I went to see it (MCB was my clear first choice). Then the first time I saw it in person the weather was heavily overcast, but I thought it was at least "good". And then the first time I saw it in full sun I thought "holy sh*t, this color is awesome". In particular, the way it picks up some of the blue and purple from the sky is remarkable.

Btw, are those kidneys RW Carbon?

I think I'll stick with (my) Imola red.

1 of 14, so kind of a unicorn I guess.

IMO there is no 'bad' colour for the F10 M5 - all look pretty good in their own way.

My car is Alpine White which is no doubt one of the most common colours. I think it works well on M cars though as the defining features stand out well on white. Being a non metallic it's also super easy to maintain from a detailing/paint perspective.

If I didn't get Alpine White, my other preference would have been Singapore Grey of the 'standard' colours available.

Aside from the special editions (30 Jahre, Nighthawk, White Shadow) which had Frozen paint we didn't get too many Individual paint F10 M5s here in Australia.

Your car does look magnificient in Imola Red Noggie.

I had never owned a frozen color before and never really looked at one in the first place, but after my E60 M5 got totaled, I saw this one and even though was more than what I was looking to spend, I said to hell with it and got it anyways, especially since it only had 12k a year ago. Coming from Interlagos Blue it's a huge change. It is kind of nice not always polishing and waxing it, always looking for any more scratches to take out.

I always saw the Frozen colors as a fluke, a temporary "fashion" color that would last a few years and then "nobody" wanted them.
Since they are still around on new cars, I guess I was wrong.
Matte colors look nice, but I personally prefer a glossy shine
But you are right, its a lot of work.
