Default What do you guys think about this color?

I have been thinking about the M5. Negative comments about the look/style of the car are unnecessary. I can appreciate other cars and I think the M5 is a great package at a truly good price for the kind of performance that you will get.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=209185982&amp;dealer_id=58264378&am p;car_year=2006&amp;search_type=both&amp;num_recor ds=&amp;make=BMW&amp;transmission=&amp;model=M5&am p;distance=100&amp;make2=&amp;address=08054&amp;ad van

Default that color makes it look even more like a Pontiac.

black or titanium are the only colors for that car, IMO.

Default I've seen that color in person and it is not flattering.

If you are even slightly ify about the color based on those pics, you will not care for it in person.

Default FANTASTIC!

I'm not kidding. If I can special order a 335i in that color, I will.

Default I like you am considering a M5, not in this color though ...

I am pretty sure I am going to order a M5 for spring delivery, don't want to take delivery during the winter not that there is much winter in the SE. Anyway, I initially thought about saphire black, indianapolis red, silverstone ii, and silver gray. I saw an indianapolis red M6 in person and just thought to myself not a very good color, it just looked too much like a bad domestic color, not the imola red or the other red from the e39 m5, those were much better. I will probably go with either silverstone ii or silver gray.

Default That's a hit! Indy red exterior looks great, I've seen it person...

I went with silver gray paint on my M5 but for what it's worth, I did go with Indy Red interior. Love it. You will love the M5 if you decide to go that route and that is good price. The only real reason to go with an RS4 is if you really like the looks (I think it looks better) and if you really need quattro. Otherwise, the M5 blows the RS4 away in nearly every performance category.

It is faster than the RS4...... Too bad it doesn't look better.
