I saw this M5 the other day. Two things about it really caught my eye. The first was the license plate "GO GRMPA" .. which I thought was great. The second was the color of the car. I know it's impossible to see from the pic but the car was an interesting brown color. I thought it actually looked pretty good and I've never seen this color before. Is it a standard option or custom paint job? Anyone recognize it or know what I am talking about?

Ahh cool thanks - I think you may be right. I was searching on "brown" and getting no love. It looks like it's called "Sepang Bronze Metallic."

I wonder if "GO GRMPA" has ever gotten that M5 past 65mph.

I was driving home from dinner Sunday and pulled up next to a new M6. I noticed the different color and I thought it looked nice. I think it's the same color mentioned above. And yea, nice plates on the M5!

I believe that is a reference for those reading it from behind.

Love that color. I'm totally biased of course.
