Did I make the right choice with titanium silver with black nevada interior?

I am still debating on color combos since my X5 4.8 is on order and hasn't gone into production yet on whether to keep the Titanium Silver Metallic and Black nevada interior or go with Black Sapphire Metallic with Sand beige nevada interior. My 330ci is black with natural brown interior so has the two tone interior and she looks great just a pain in the ass to keep her clean. Any suggestions and pics to help me make a decision?

The Sapphire black with tobacco is nice! Black is tough though. I just picked up my Sapphire Black after having Sterling Grey. It's a love hate relationship. I love the way it looks clean and HATE how dirty it gets so fast. The sterling hid many sins.

Good luck.

Both are nice...

I have a new 4.8 Black Sapphire with sand interior and it is gorgeous. On my old 330 I have silver/black and I really enjoyed that too. The black is impossible to keep clean especially now in the snow but when it is clean, it looks amazing! You won't lose either way!

Silver/Black is very good combo if you dont have kids.... I have space gray/black, the exterior hides dirt very well, but the 2nd row is already a mess !

They are both very good combinations. My 2005 X5 is titanium silver metallic with black Nevada leather. My 2008 X5 on order is black sapphire metallic with sand beige Nevada leather. So, I understand your dilemma!

I will never own a black car again and I have had three in a row.. Looks great and better than all other colors IMO for that first hour after you have washed it but looks filthy the rest of the time - especially here in NE. Swirl marks and paint chips are very noticeable etc. etc.

The silver is very, very forgiving for dirt and dust.

I'm a big fan of the two-toned interior - saddle brown seats (?) with black trim.

i'm sure many if not all of us have contemplated changing colors even after placing order... i almost changed to the monaco blue/beige combo before deciding to stick to my original space/blk nevada...

i couldn't be more happier!!

i had a black metallic suv and so did my wife... both were a pain to keep clean and it showed all minor scratches and finger prints...

and God forbid you take it to a do it yourself car wash...

their "soft" brushes damages the paint...(left scratches everywhere!!)

stick to the silver.... it is still a timeless color and you should be fine....

although i prefer the space gray!!

Not very objective answer as this is the combo of my X. Especially appealing if you have titanium grill, alu running boards and alu trim. Here some pictures:
