Its the default luxury color, its simple ...nothing elegant or flashy. But it does hide dirt well compared to black/white. Keep in mind its the hardest color to color match.

Pros:
Hides swirls well Hides moderate dirt well Low maintenance Cons: Impossible to make silver pop like other colors. Don't crash it, it'll never look factory again and .. zzzz |

If you would much rather AW or SG, why are you asking about silver?

The great advantage of TS is that you don't have to wash it a lot.
As opposed to dark colors the dirt just doesn't show as much. On the other hand, a black car looks really good when it's clean. I have a graphite metallic as well, it's an ok color to keep clean and it looks a lot better than TS when really clean. The best thing about TS is really that you don't have to clean it a lot, which means a lot to me since I drive in slush a couple of months a year. So, for lazy people that's the way to go... |

Titanium Silver has to be the most boring color, in addition to the fact that everytime I see another BMW on the road, its often in Titanium Silver. Lame color if you ask me

I'd never get a silver car, reminds me of a woman.
 Plus every Mercedes Benz is silver. Now SILVERSTONE, that's a beautiful color. /thread

Color is very personal. Go with what makes you feel good. Everyone on this board hates some BMW color.
Personally I've never liked TiAg. It's too light and lifeless. Agree Silverstone is a great silver I could be happy owning. Too bad its not a 3 color. TiAg is also very long in the tooth as a BMW color. It really should be retired IMHO. Unless you are in love with TiAg why spend $500 on it when among your other preferences SG has more sparkle and AW is no cost. |

You can actually see a LOT of dirt on SGM, I was kinda shocked. Especially on the back/trunk. I was just like wtf this has to be dirtiest car on the road right now lol.

silver is probably the easiest color to keep clean, they don'y show dirt too terribly like dark colors do. and of course, like some says, classy color, good choice.

Love it...
 In my opinion, you get nice contrast with the kidney grill and tinted windows. Space Grey is nice as well, but I think Alpine White and Black are the boring ones. |
