I chose boring white for my F10 and although the chips are there, you have to look close to see them. OK, the Orion Silver won't hide them so well, but I think it'll be a good compromise, especially as, IMO the F12 doesn't look very good in white.
I looked up the Orion Silver. Looks great! How is your choice of interior?

A friend of mine has the F10 530d X-drive. I have tested it, impressed by the diesel engine. I know you've got the twin turbo 535. Must be the perfect everyday car
