 BMW doesn't offer a silver 530i/540i in the US... since I don't really care for how they make the bottom of the rear bumper all black(regardless of body color), I ended up ordering sapphire black. That way, everything is nice and black. However, if the oxide grey is a nice champagne or light gold color like what BMW 5-series back in the 1990s, then I may change my mind.

Unfortunately it's too gray for me, so I chose RED.

It is a gray with a brown hint under certain lighting.

As you mentioned there is no other Silver option, so this would be first choice for those looking for a silver tone. |

I took a chance with Space Silver when I ordered my X1. In most BMW online configurator pictures, it did not look very silver, at least not the traditional bright silver. When it arrived, I was actually quite happy with it. It has a different tone depending on lighting and the angle... Perhaps I'll take a chance with oxide grey for the 530i that I ordered... who knows, I may be pleasantly surprised again! |

Unfortunately it’s one of those colours where the harmony between the rear bumper and body colour is way off! Shame…

I have to admit though, the two tone with the bumpers being black on these newer models is throwing me off. Imo most of the new models look better in a darker color or black because of this. |
