Can I stand this new 5-series? No. I can list 7 things instantly, both generally objective but also subjective that I hate about it.
Does BMW miss an old school silver color? Absolutely! The Titansilver on my old e60 (and my parent's old e46) was beautiful. Classic BMW to me.

It's one thing MB seems to do on every model...a classic silver. BMW has had some great ones too. I would say Titansilver > Articsilver

In todays world of White, Black and Silver cars everywhere. My Toronto Red M4 stands out on the road. Lots of complements

Im with you on that, I don’t get how someone who special orders the car and chooses for it to be gray. Love me some colors

The best blues indeed. Centennial Blue comes close second only to San Marino Blue.

It‘s just crazy how many individual colors you can order and what an achievement to make it possible.

The new 5 goes well with some classic BMW colors - I’d probably settle with a darker shade. Here are some of my favorites.

Macao Blue

Atlas Grey

Sparkling Graphite Metallic
- owned on my first BMW, E87

[[/:\] GP9000]

R71 Midnight Sapphire Il Metallic
- either with Cognac or Grey interior

[[/:\] GP9000]

Boston Green
- such a classic

[OHV_44]

It would be nice if you could change the color once a month. Via Connected Drive for $100.
Platinbronze: I think it's good too. Very good. Is relatively close to my current Sunstone.

I was offering another hurdle in my original reply as to why people won’t hand wash it. I personally would touchless wash it as well.

Not sure about your point

There will be people handwashing their cars (best to do it in self-service car wash instead of drive way) and some using car wash or something in between. But it goes for all paints - individual or standard. I bet there are some folks using car wash on Frrozen paints as well.

Flashy, but in a good way.

Sakhir Orange & Wildberry

PS: Thanks OHV_44 - Visualizer is so much more entertaining than YT

Im with you. its a daily driver, every day car, and I like it in silver, especially TiAg having owned 2 TiAg cars, its a wonderful color.

Personally also If I paid PTS color money Id go with Sepang Bronze, Macadamia Brown (to just match my 911) or Liquid Copper, as I do like the earthy shades on this car with its black rims.

Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, Jaguar, Range Rover...they always have a beautiful , classic metallic silver.

I cannot understand why BMW has essentially killed metallic silver! I know you can get Space Silver on some models, but silver should be a standard offered colour on EVERY model.

I would say easily 75% of all cars I have had, have been silver. I would love if my new i5 was silver!!!

I’ve always loved imola red… top three for me would have to be Tcehno Violet, San Marino blue, or Sakhir Orange. Has to be in M60 trim though

[Germanauto]

Design has warmed on me...besides the Accord-like front end

...a crude rendition of the new 5 with a bit deeper chin and rear spoiler! IMO, mods are going to look quite good as a result of the rake on this chassis!

[gs6456]

Well, that was quite the rabbit hole. Didn't think I was going to make it back.
