I have never had such a dilemma!
When I first saw the E60 M5, I knew straight away the colour I wanted. Interlagos blue with black leather, that was stunning on it.
I have an E60 M5 arriving in October/early november, and an M6 next year. Biggest dilemma will be which one to keep & which one to sell. The M5 and M6 can both be sold at a healthy premium over here, as only a very limited number (60 a year) are coming in, and the order books are already 3 years long! Thing is, i dont need a 4-door saloon, as i will be keeping the M3 for everyday use, and I dont like the looks of the E60 M5, but i am yet to see one in the flesh in my colour combination, so i need to make sure that both cars are to my liking and specs, so depending on my decision I will be able to keep one of them.
But the M6?
I have seen a lot of black 645i's here in SA, and they look damn good, but I have never owned a black car, and I am not so sure if the M6 will look good in black. Other colours I have seen in pics, but nothing has caught my attention yet. I know that the interior must be either red leather with Carbon fibre trim, of black leather with Carbon Fibre trim, thats 2 I really like, especially the red leather. But what about the exterior? i have to spec mine in about a month's time, and its driving me up the walls.
PS I dont like the M6 in interlagos blue, looks like a punch in my eye! and silver is horrible, so is white :(
Any ideas?

More head scratching, i have seen some pics of the piano black trim, anmd it looks damn good too!
