Awe come on! You can't pick a color at night! That's not fair!
Go back in the daylight!

Doug,
Can you post a picture of your car in the bright daylight? MB is a rare color and many of us haven't seen a real clear picture with the sports package.

I've been driving my GS430 for the last week trying to rack up the miles. That's over now, I only have the 550. I will be getting it washed this weekend and get some new pics - in the sun.

Today I changed my Alpine White 550 back to Monaco Blue. My order today also went to status 112. I loved the Alpine White but it just wasn't me. I really think its the best looking E60 color. But I like the dark monaco blue metallic look in the sun. I also like the gray interior which really is a light blue which goes perfectly with the dark blue exterior.

I thought we ordered at the same time? my car completed production... and is awaiting transport! that was pretty quick! I'm surprised you are still in 112. Is it because of ED?

Well it was because I didnt want ED pick up until May 8. My job is so busy now I won't have free time to go to Europe until May. I won't get my car here until mid June. Have you even seen an 07 yet? Im told that they have slight changes in the bumpers. Since im getting an aero kit i wont even see the changes.

We got a sunny day here yesterday in Chicago! These are close-ups - from a distance, without sun, the car looks almost black.
