Well, as far as color is concerned, Anthracite is great and looks awesome wrapped around a silverston interior. And, bird poop cleans off of it rather well.

Later, -Juan

This was absolutely a great time, and a must for every M5 owner. Don't let your time slip away without attending the M5 experience. Everything was first class, informative and interesting. It is especially nice when you have pre-made friends from this board attend at the same time. I was privileged to meet Andy, Tim and Roxy, and Juan in person, and they are all great, interesting and fun people to hang out with! Of course, we met many other fine M5 folk.
The driving part was of course the best. I won't ruin it for you people who haven't done it yet by disclosing the exercises you'll perform, but suffice it to say you will come away with a new appreciation for the artistry of the Beast.
The factory tour was fascinating-don't miss it. It's amazing to watch a modern automobile be built.
One of the neatest touches was that there were nine sets of drivers, and coincidentally one M5 of each color for us to drive. It was great to watch them one after the other go through each exercise. This would be a great place for people who don't know what color they want to finally make that choice!
Sorry for the ramble, and sorry the M5 experience is over for me!
