OK, I'm ready to be flamed by all of the oldtimers on this forum. We are getting ready to ED order an E60 2007 550i in Olivine Green with the Beige dakota leather interior.

I know alot of you will say that is a strange color. Our local dealer had one in that color combination with an SMG and we loved the color combo. It's not really green in the sunlight. It's more of a gold color in direct sunlight. We just didn't want to fall into the norm of ordering a white or silver one (we see way too many of those colors).

Our '03 530i is Titanium Grey (which I love), but we have had one in that color and wanted something different. Our daughters just bought two new cars (1-'06 BMW 330i, 1-'06 Honda Accord) in silver, so we liked the silver gray mettalic, but didn't want another silver based vehicle in the family.

I would like some input from all of you on the color combo. Please just be gentle on the newbie and know that I value my wifes opinion.
