What made you change from Black to Silverstone (silver/bluish tint?)? Thanks

Black cars always look dirty, every little chip and ding is visible.

When you park the car in summer, you return to an oven.

And, because of this retained heat, the rubber seals and upholstery ages faster.

I also happen to think that cars with good basic shapes look better in light colors; black is a crutch to make a car with a pudgy or awkward shape look better. The E39 is a good shape.
