Pure metal. But what i think doesn't matter. The question is will you still love the color in 2 or 3 years? I went from an Azurite F10 to an Azurite G12. I loved the color and still love it. For my next I might chnage just for the sake of change, to Rhodonit, which is similar to Pure metal. I think Pure silver is more unusual and classier than the blue, but you are the one paying for it.

I am unfamiliar with either of those colours as they are not available here. The Pure Metal appeals more to me but the blue is very striking. I love both of them.

There is something distinctly classy about the pure metal.

are you buying or leasing?
I ask as out of the two, the silver might be the easier one to sell on / trade in if you are intending on buying. The blue (just my opinion) is more of a personal choice and may not be everyone's taste and might just be that bit more difficult to move on - possibly.

So I'd consider the silver a "safer" colour but at the ned of the day, you've got to go for what YOU want and not what any of us here think!

If leasing, obviously not relevant.

Keep in mind that in the M550 you will have the cerium gray trim so if you get all metal the trim may clash a bit.

I was worried about this with my bluestone and opted for black trim which has worked well (to my eye): http://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1400880

I like the blue myself but this is all individual taste. Might also get you pulled over....
