Color advice on a 2011 X5 M Sport

OK, color advice guys...
After being scared away from the cinnamon which might be too orangey and blingy in real life, I am contemplating the following color options that would go along with the new M Sport package

1- keeping my pearl silver exterior with cinnamon and piano black order
2- Deep sea Blue with Oyster and Piano black or maybe bamboo
3- Space Grey with Oyster and Piano black, again possibly bamboo
4- Vermillion with Oyster and bamboo (I always wanted this on my old X6 but I'm hesitant to how it would look on the X5 with the M package)

What do you guys think?

Some of those colors like the pearl silver and DSB must be Individual colors? Or are those 2011 colors? I tried to configure a x5 M Sport using the 2010 Configurator using your color combinations and at least two of them are not available as standard colors.

A couple of your interior colors like the cinnamon, bamboo and piano black are available as standard colors on the X5 ///M.

DSB is available, and so is space grey and vermillion...I'm in Syria, so we have more options...I remember feeling your pain back when I was in California, we didn't have anything available, just silver and black metallic!

The silver pearl is an individual option that will cost around $2,000.

so what do you guys think?

Are you asking about colors for an X5 M or is that a typo and you mean X6M ?
Two different cars what looks good on one will not work on the other.
IMHO:
Pearl silver would look washed on X5M but ok on X6M
Deep sea blue looks ok in X5M but not on X6M
Space grey ok on either
vermillion red ok on X6m

I like AW, cinnamon, piano black or reddish colored interior trims. BTW, even with the sport package I prefer the look of the X5///M that's what I used for the configurator screen shots which come closest to the colors offered in your country.

Interesting that I went to the use the configurator on the Syria site and they don't even show the X-series vehicles.

since this seems to be about the X5 it should be posted in the X5 forum.
