It a crime to wash your car here in South Australia at the moment due to water restrictions, you are only allow allowed to wash your windscreen and number plate and only with a bucket.....no hose allowed 
It amazing what a bit of overspray can do 
Is it permitted to fill the bucket with a hose? How the heck do you properly wash a car without a hose. I would think it would be covered with scratches from not getting all the grit off the car.

Nice pics MatyB,
Car looks fab
Great to get pics from down under.
That is about exactly from the other side of the world from here.
Suppose your color is pretty close to Space Grey.

As mentioned before you are not even allowed to wash your car, only the windscreen and number plates. We do have car washed here that recycle their water so unless you are prepared to be a rouge car washer that is really your only option.

I think Space Grey is a bit darker than the Silver Grey if i recall correctly.

can't you use a water pressurised system at home?
We could use those in Melbourne before when we had water restrictions.
Or take it to your BMW dealer. Get them to wash it
