First of all (cover your ears Norm :-) ) Silver sux!!

Okay, now... IMO silver is great for Honda Civics. But if I have to spend MY hard earned money (but money may be falling out of the sky for YOU!!) then the car better not blend in w/ the road. Just My opinion.

Jet Black sux!! I owned my first 540 in Jet Black, and since I am very anal w/ my car w/ light scratches on clear coat. I had to wash the car myself (trust NO ONE w/ My baby!). Since I like the car soptless, I was washing the car EVERY OTHER DAY!! so few months later, I decided to throw i the towel. Jet Black is beautiful, but its a B*tch to keep ot clean and swirlmark free.

So what are the choices??
1) LeMans Blue (but do me a favor, don't order this color as I like to stay somewaht "exclusive". I have yet to see a LeMans Blue M5 on the road. Kindda like to keep it that way :-)

2 Tie) Carbon Black, oh baby!! Love that "duality" personality color. Niiceee!!

2 tie) The new "sterling Grey". Wow!! very nice...In general I don't care for "dull" color. but this color is stunning!! reminds me of the color of the fighter Jet. Very nice!!

Another factor that's important to me is to have a color that's "exclusively ///M". Jet Black and T Silver are NOT an exclusive color such as the Carbon Black (exclusive //M color, as its available in M5 and M3) But LeMans blue is an exclusive ///M5 color, and that's another reason I got it for (and you shouldn't get )

:-)

hope this helps,

beewang
