Yup. That's why I got the SS. So many different colours in one.

Dude wait until you start adding gloss black and carbon accents to that Silverstone. The color rocks! LOVE mine! I was actually remembering this post and your comments about the hues today (I read it days ago) as I was driving on the highway in a light rain and could see the hues on my hood. It looked really cool. Yours is gorgeous. Enjoy it!

Congrats on the car and enjoy it.

And in response to your worries about the paint choice:
- Wait at least 6 weeks of using the car day to day and re evaluate what you think about it. I had the same thoughts about my S65 AMG exterior paint (blue) and my E60 Individual Interior (thought too much platinum). Now I really like both and get a ton of compliments.

If you still aren't happy after 6 weeks try this (first try 1 then 2 as last resort):
1. Add gloss black accents (grille and gill, reflectors, etc).
2. Wrap the car in matte satin wrap (use the same type that premiere uses.. I have seen many photos and it is quality stuff). If you are into "frozen" your car will look very close to Frozen Silver, which I think is a very sharp color for the F10 M5. If you think Silverstone is feminine, the matte treatment will defiantly change that.

No more doubts that I made the right color choice. Got nothing but complements today and like mentioned by all of you with a little glossy black here and there it will be even better.

Thanks to all for helping through my moment of doubt.
