I am especially worried after our experience with the frankenstein manual box in the e60 M5. It felt like they connected an e39 box to a high revving V10 and never, ever felt right.

I'm thinking about frozen silver, but I have heard that you have to be very careful when washing the car so that it doesn't get scratched. Frozen silver over dark brown could be very nice.
Don't get the 6-speed. These cars were never designed with a manual box in mind ( same with the idiots who brought the 6-speed E60 ).

Moonstone looks great, go for that colour it looks very special.

I think Moonstone is a nice compromise between too sporty for your dad like MCB and too boring like black would be.

It is also easy to pick interior colour with Moonstone, it will go well with most finishes

Good luck and enjoy the car
