I find both attractive, but in different ways.

One is Asian in styling, one is German. Both appeal to me, but in different ways that I can't really put words to.

I saw a white M5 yesterday, a gold 750il, and a blue 330ci. There's also a yellow M3 around campus once in a while.

I think it's just that a lot of BMW owners have no feel for flare so they buy silver because it's a basic color and they don't have to wash it as much. The guys I saw yesterday on the way home all looked like they would wash their cars themselves and actually care for them.

Well, the dude with the 750il was kinda overweight but...

Looks like those bad boys need some clear corners.

Silver is nice..but you can't go wrong with black.

For what it is worth, a lot of designers like silver because they feel it shows the original lines of a design to greatest advantage. Maybe that is why some folks buy that color, too. I'm sure there are a lot of reasons we buy certain color cars (all Corvettes are red, except mistakes, etc.) but silver sure is popular with some models.

Nice cars

I agree with all the silver remarks -- easy to keep clean, looks descent, but kinda getting bland. My favorite silver is that special-coated Mercedes silver, I forgot what it's called though...not to mention the silver on the Bentley Azure =)

IMO, I think black is the best way to go on a luxury car.

If I had the money, I'd take the M3 or even the 330ci. I would, of course, keep the CL though! =)

My uncle just bought a new 325 4 door, I wish he would buy a 330ci instead. A blue one.

My dad bought a LeMans Blue M5 in January. It is the most stunning color I have ever seen on a car.
