Harlequin purple/green.

White - too plain
Black - too common
Red - too tired
Green - too common
Blue - way too common
Yellow - you're joking, right?

I like my gletscher blau...especially now that it's faded a little...almost silver

But Alpine Weiss is great, and (clean) Schwarz, of course...

Alpine White. Duh.


And yes it is 60 day white, in the UK. I remember reading an article in BMWCar a year or so ago about a PERFECT under 20K mile 635CSi that was basically showroom new. The author of the article basically said that because it was white it was probably unsellable. Almost.

In the US its not nearly as bad. More like 40 or 45 day white.

Calypsorot with black mouldings. I think it gives the car nice contrast.

I agree, its the 350Z color, not Byzanz. I think that was the general consensus then too. They're very close though.

Avus is a REALLY hot color. But i just can't deal with 4 door sedans being blue. They always look too conservative. But dunk a wagon or a coupe in Avus and I'll love it. Almost feel the same way about Techno. But there its the other way, I think its too loud for a sedan.

White looks good on everything.

It's crazy. My mom just bought an 05 X5 4.4. The thing is loaded and it is a really nice car. CPO, less than 10 grand on the odometer. The car supposedly has been sitting on the lot over at Bob Smith BMW in Calabassas for a few months (maybe more, maybe less...can't quite remember, but it was a long time.)

Somebody on here has a metallic dark grey - Sterling Grey? - e34 which is the best looking stock color I've seen, at least in pics - It just looks straight up classy.

It depends on what you are going for. Are you a young hip hopper? Someone who likes to race? A lawyer? A doctor?

Most Blacks
Alpine III
Calypso
Orient
Artic Silver
Orionco

Body kits and interior contrast are some things to consider when choosing a color.

The 1995 Avus blue M5 is a friend of mines car, really nice example, we have a lot of M5 in Sweden=)

My favorit Colors is

303 Cosmos black
299 Techno violett
283 Daytona violett

Avus blue and Petrol-Mica isn’t bad either.

Ditto. No other color looks as good when clean, whether it's day, night, dawn, dusk, rain, or shine. And no other color shows of the curves and straight bodylines as well

#1 - black probably because it looks great when it is wet.
#2 - red because of the contrast between the actual paint and trim.

I am partial to grey...

I have an Artic Grey 1995 540/6sp that I am sure I paid more than I would have in any other color.....

I would also have taken a Delphin gray...not sure if it was an 34 color, but I had it on a 1985 318 and liked it...

second and third would be:

Avus
Cosmos Black

1. Black - sexy and classy
2. Red - sporty without losing its classiness
3. White - not as bold as red but still stands out

Best non M5 color- Charc grey. Best M5 color- Avus blue (with Tstars or M-parallels).

I actually didn't like my sterling silver M5 when I bought it but it's seriously grown on me. The black trim really sets it off.

Those are the turbine covers that were stock on the M5 for 91-92. They are designed to channel air to the brakes. They are exactly the same wheel as the throwing stars except for different covers. Some think they look a little old fashioned due to the white wall illusion but many purists love them.

Yes, but to my knowledge only on Touring, "do to the late arrival of the color" there are a Aspen silver 4/96 525 tds Touring on German advert site autoscout24 "de" search for a €4098 car with 289000 km and some pictures should turn up.

Sorry no links from me yet.

I'm partial to alpine, but if i got another it would be a black 95 M5 with 18" parallels. Wish I could think of something a little less plain then black and white. We need more pics to back up your votes....of course now I'm not going to post any.:banghead:
