your car looks great with all the snow white backgrounds. I can't keep my car that clean here, just a drive a block away from my house it will all be smudged with dirty snow and salt.

Thanks everybody!
Like I've said earlier, it's the weather. Subzero temperatures make it possible to keep the car clean. It is 8 days now since I last time washed the car.
And they use very little of salt here.
Great pix, thanks for sharing. You car looks great amongst the back drop. Obviously you are not driving in a major city or you car would look like it was off roading, with all the ice slicer and splash back from other cars, car get really dirty when driving in the snow and ice here in Denver. Probably the main reason I refuse the drive mine if its snowy out...

_Very_ nice. The contrast between jet black and the snow is awesome! Now, just between you and me - I know how awesome it looked when the snow was fresh like this and it was still cold out. How did it look a couple days later when all the snow started to melt?
Never mind, I know - I can walk 30 steps from where I am sitting right now and look in my own garage to see how that looks...

Damn it. These pictures are going to push me over the edge on the M-Tech body kit I have been struggling to avoid for three weeks.
By the way, the snow will not melt here until May, and my e60 is sapphire black, not jet black
