My Ride: 545i/6spd
So I might be considering this car:

Firstly, can anyone run me a carfax?
And yes its Olivine Green! I did some searching and it looks like there are about 3 members with this color (who admit it anyway)? I like it, I think it's unique, and not really that green. More earthy grey-ish than a green. What are people's thoughts on this color (only pic I could find - not the actual car):

Carfax is helpful and I suggest you call your current BMW dealer and ask the SA to run the VIN to verify that nothing is amiss - at least for work done by BMW.

Just so you know, color of the E60 in the pic you attached is Titanium Gray. Going green is definitely unique!

Don't think I ever saw that color. Interesting color. Definitely unique. Color doesn't look that bad at all, especially when modded. I'd say get it if the carfax shows nothing wrong with the car.

Apparently i can't edit my post but I did get a carfax so it's no longer needed.
I just found out the car doesn't have heated seats! Honestly might be a deal breaker for me as no heated seats in MN is just plain crazy.. I've found an extremely low mileage car in MI:

I'm not a fan of silver since it's so common, but at least it has black leather (and heated seats I assume), hmm..
This one's got a rear sunshade, but Black is a scary color to keep clean:
