Yes we do! Your car looks astoundingly nice.
But a E60 Mystic Blue it is not.
In '04 the OEM Mystic Blue color looked like this...

My Ride: 05 530i M Sport Sedan / Silver Grey
Congrats the car and the colour look amazing, great choice!!!
172's .....althought it must be said they are definately a labour of love....after trial and error I have developed a multi phaze cleaning system that seems to work well and may be of some assitance to you.....let me explain
1. Spray with wheel cleaner and leave for a while
2. Hose off with high pressure hose
3. Wash face of wheel with wash mit
4. Use Megs long bristel wheel brush to wash between the spokes
5. Use a small wheel brush to wash between the spilt in the spokes and behind the spokes.
6. Use a foam craft brush to get between the really tight areas of the split in the spokes.
5. Dry the face of the wheel with a microfibre chamois or similar
6. Use the shammy over the craft brush to get the fiddly bits
7. Stand back and admire your work
Phey i am tired....must be be time for a beer...hang on i haven't done anything and its only 10.30am so maybe not.
Who said love was easy....rignt?

Hi. I think it is about the light on the day and also what they cal Nystic blue in Finland may not be what they call it in the Uk.
Thanks for the nice comments though.

It's a BMW individual colour (well, for the E60 at least). A number of UK dealers were offering this colour on Demo cars on 06 and 56 cars, round about the time LCI was just about to be released.
BTW - Most of these also had Piano Black Interior Trim as another 'individual' item - Not maple wood as your signature says.......are you sure it's Maple ? Is it high gloss black - or an ash wood grain effect ?........Maybe post some interior pics.
It's a very rare colour - so don't do yourself a disservice by calling it Mystic Blue - which is a highly average colour (IMHO).
Update your signature !!
How about some mods - That colour would look HOT with M5 mirrors, because the black cover at the bottom would contrast very well with this shade of blue.
