What's your favorite color on the m5?

Citrin Black is my favorite color hands down.

Followed by

Sakhir Orange
Azurite Black
Amazonite silver

Alpine white is what I have and I regret it. My first white car and it's so boring. No shine no luster no nothing and this color you see on every bmw!!!

Exactly this although the car I ended up buying was Sapphire Black as the spec was more important.

Some ppl swore my car to be black when visiting us coming up the drive in low light; The shade of SG can change in many different ways.

Alpine white looks sexy on the e39 M5 but just doesn't work well on the F10 IMO. Maybe with a bunch of aftermarket parts treatment it's "cool", but that's not why I buy M5's.

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.

I love my Alpine White. Polished and sealed it looks outstanding.

I will never have any version of black as a daily driver again.

I would never buy a blue car but i would do monte carlo blue on an M only bc it is Thee M cars/ M5 color/catalogue color

Black is what I wanted but I looked at pics of my car for weeks and the spec was right and I was gonna just bite the bullet and just get it eventhough it was "champagne/pewter"..

Well, i get to the dealer and they walk me over to a black M5 and I'm like what the heck this isnt the one I came for.. but ill take it! hah.

-Black Sapphire Metallic - wasnt expecting, wouldve never ordered it, but love it. its all business black, but has peronality.


- ALL of these pics are the same car, the first pic is the dealer pic that I was looking at online and you can tell it it doesn't look black at all.. all because of the light
the other pics are mine with various lighting. i dig it

BLACK SAPPHIRE METALLIC

Thanks for starting this thread...

After years of blues and grays and with my last E60 model being specifically Monaco Blue, I decided to go with Alpine White. I still like it and don't regret my decision per se, however if I would do it all over again I may want go after two individual colors that have caught my eye:

Moonstone Metallic - like it because it's not a silver and not a white - which are common BMW colors but in between.

Tanzanite Blue - looks really good with sun and being slightly lighter than Azurite Black which most people correlate with Carbon Black - a popular BMW color

Properly polished Azurite black is my favorite. I cannot wait for good weather to bring my paint back to life.

I've always wanted Sakhir Orange but right now I have Singapore Grey.

My next car will be red though.

Cheers

Alpine White here as well, standing out isn't my intention.

I really didn't want another black car after coming back home from Audi to BMW, but I think it worked out OK. ;-)

The trick is to keep up the polish after paint correction and ceramic. If the gloss is maxed out, tough to beat black on the F10.

I agree I didn't want another black car, but with 6k miles it was tough to pass up. She's getting paint correction and ceramic coating in the spring. When they are clean and kept polished Black sapphire is lovely in the sun light.

Nice car by the way!

Really at the end of the day the colour is slightly less important as the seat in the pants feel you get when you open her up on a nice empty road knowing your running gear is up to date.
