The grey is rather common, but I perspnally think it looks better than the Bronze,

But what interior are you thinking of?

Personally I love Platinum Grey over the Bronze. It was a hard decision for me as well, but I think I made the right one. Check it out: http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...50i-block.html

I almost switched to PG at the last minute because - sight unseen - I worried about whether I would like the new SB. But I have to say that I get constant complements on the SB. It really is amazing; people go out of their way to comment on how much they like the color. That never happened on my previous BMW's.

I'm a fan of black. Not the most exciting color I know, but I'm partial to it

It is a very nice color, and it is unique. My wife is a big fan, says it is a very rich and masculine color in her opinion. The safe side of me says go with PG, the adventurous SB

Both are beautiful colors when they are clean. I really like the sparkling bronze....just remember that when it's dirty, its going to look like a turd....literally.

IndyRon, I live in Los Angeles, it does not get very dirty here. It really does not show alot of dirt when it is dirty though, kinda like a silver car not showing the dirt. Does that make sense?
