I walked around a friend's M5 in SSII for over a year and love it. This is my take on the color:
1. M exclusive color so you won't see it that much
2. True chameleon. Sometimes it's an unmistakeable light grey, other times picks up a hint of blue and sometimes more blue than gray. If you didn't know better, you'd swear it was a different paint job seeing it 1) in sunshine, 2) on an overcast day and 3) inside a parking garage.
3. I think Fox Red only works with the grays, white and SS II, but equally well with all.
I have a SSII with Fox Red on order so you know how I feel. Good luck to you.
Now you and maybe others can help me. My dealer talked me out of extended leather as being a wasteful option. I didn't think it wasteful, but have to admit all the extra red on the dash might be a bit of overkill and that std black panels may even enhance the overall look. I would sincerely appreciate any opinions on this. My build date is still a month away so I can change the specs if I act soon.
