In my unsolicited opinion, silver is a "bad" color simply because it is so commonly seen.

Just MHO.

Yes, color is just a matter of personal preference. I've had five S Class sedans in a row that were silver, mostly because there wasn't another color that I liked better. I just ordered a new BMW I7 and as you might imagine, it will be SILVER!

I totally agree. The standard color choices on the W223 are all dark, metallic, black, or white. The majority of used ones are some shade of dark or just black. I am OCD about keeping a car look great so I don‘t think I could handle black again (my wife had a black car until 2008). I am partial to silver. My current E550 is silver with a black interior so this car seems like a natural progression.
