I had a sapphire black 750

Only issue was keeping it clean haha. Hence why I ended up getting a Donington Grey M5

But it looked so mean.

Got my Sapphire Black M5 delivered yesterday. Booked in to local retailer for machine polish and ceramic coating to give me half a chance to keep the swirl marks off it.

Black Sapphire Metallic is somewhat forgiving as a black goes. Don't have to get out the buckets quite as quickly.

I'm not a fan of black wheels (plan to change 'em out soon); but, at the time I was shopping, there was little Black Sapphire state-side inventory or "reliable" build slots (i.e., reasonable delivery).

Thanks Nick,
Your car still cuts the mustard, looks great. I do like the Grey, but still have a soft spot for Marina Bay Blue, but then again, i thought of Alpine White, with Aragon leather at one point. This must mean, as long as we have an M5, all colours are worthy

I really didn’t want another black car to be honest but the interior/exterior combo and spec was too good to ignore. Biggest issue with black is that you need to spend a fortune on carbon to get contrast with the bodywork (unless you like chrome or want to paint things wacky colours).

Love mine but... to echo everyone else, it's a royal b1tch to keep clean! Any little bit of dust shows up, but when she's sparkling clean, pure beauty...

Black is the best color. And Sunroof is a must.

I’d see the point of the Sunroof on the M5 if it were a proper panoramic roof like on the E63 but it’s far too small on the 5 series.

Panoramic roofs all become issues with time, Q7 for example, become rattle traps. Traditional Glass Single Panel Sunroof is the best. (just kidding by the way).
