Onyx Blue 5-series
this is for you Ashok, 
i was downloading high resolution pictures of M5 from BMW's press web site, and i came accross few pictures of individual colours on different cars in BMW's line up...and of course, i found Onyx Blue metallic. hope this will also help other people that's considering going BMW Individual for their M5.

Re: Onyx Blue 5-series
Thanks for the pic. That is one sweet colour. I like that way better than Interlagos Blue. Like to see some full size M5 pics in Onyxblue. As much as I like LeManns Blue, this looks great, too bad you gotta cough up extra for it.
Regards,
Terk.

certainly! the colour looks awsome! i was going to get MidnightBlue M3 which should looks similar to Onyx blue...but i ended up with a M5 order instead, that's another long story though. 
have you decided on the interior yet by the way?

Re: Onyx Blue 5-series
Yes, finally settled on Cinnamon as discussed here:
Thinking about Cinnamon....
Just need to decide on trim now. Definitely not going for Birch or Piano Black gloss as they will make the interior too dark and also show up all minor scratches and fingerprints etc.
I will probably go with a wooden trim but not sure which one yet. The aluminium trim can look good as well with the right combination as shown here:
Decisions Decisions!!

Glad you are not going with the Alu trim as in the picture as that does not look good with the Cinnamon IMHO!!

Wow, That`s the combination I would like have. Light leather with aluminum trim. Just look great. Cinammon looks pretty good, I`m wondering which would looks better - cinammon or caramel + of course alu trim
