well my mom is getting a new car in a couple of weeks ('06 530i), but we have a predicament here... cant decide which color to get... she is basically going to get whichever color i choose and hopefully ill get to whip it around time to time..
so i need some help:
to me, im usually a sucker for a nicely polished black car, but something to me doesnt vibe with this car in black (it would look better with tints, but my mom doesnt want)... and usually im not a fan of silver (i think its boring, but the 5 looks pretty good)








or

 

Do not like the new 5, but Black Sapphire Metallic is a very nice color on it.

I will aslo accept Monaco Blue Metallic or Titanium Grey Metallic

 

My friend has an '04 530i in the darkest shade of black available, and with tinted windows the car is very nice. I like the white the best on that car, but a lot of people have it. I tend to hate silver cars so I'd definitely opt for the black.

 

Im a fan of black, and then blue cars. The 5 looks good in white IMO, but like Matt said a lot of ppl have it in white.

 

Anything but silver... While silver does hide dirt well, I swear every other bmw I see on the road is silver... so I voted black, which is a bitch to keep clean looking. If blue was on the list, I would have choose that over black tho'.

I saw a red 330xi the other day and almost fell in love

 

My two favorite color choices on cars. My Acura is silver and my Jeep is black so I can attest to both. Black doesn't hide dirt at all but when it is shined up there is nothing better! Silver is clean and sharp looking. On the 5-series that black looks really sharp but I chose silver because it's a sporty color for that car

 

On that body design the black looks great.

 

black

 

Monaco Blue Metallic>Mystic Blue Metallic>Black Sapphire Metallic>all the other choices except silver>Silver

 

Black...But get a Lexus instead.

 

I agree, get black.

 

Neither........I would get Alpine White or SG metallic.

 

i def think silver is gettin a bit played out. get the black and zaino it

 

I always liked your style. Oh and i agree

 

walking home from work just now on Monroe, I almost got hit by a speeding Imola Red 3-series. I literally had to step out of the way in a hurry, I was like inches from being hit. I thank my quick reflexes but also I think some higher power helped me out - (THANKS!).

Anyways so I would not get that color, I hate it.

btw the Chicago area has a severe shortage of white E60's... at least I never see any white is my first pick for E60. or any BMW, for that matter.

but since you don't have that as an option, get black. silver Bimmers =

 

Black looks better, but is much harder to keep clean compared to silver. Take that into consideration as well.

 

Must agree on the AW, the 530 looks better in light colors, the 7 series in dark, so of the two choices, silver though I hate it, another issues is how often will it get HAND washed if you get black...winter is coming in NYC...

 

I'd suggest white--if you're willing to consider that color.

 

Black

Hides some of the funky Bangleness of the car

 

Black, I love black cars and there are too many silver BMWs on the road.

 

I personally am a sucker for the Olivine Green...on Auburn...mmmm...




Both are very unique colors.

 

good choice I love that combo. I always loved darker brown color in leather.

 

black owns...
