You didn't buy it as new? If not, it may have been in a crash!?

Usually the engine compartment tag saying "monacoblau" is the fact.

Orient and Monaco Blue's are really close colors.



Call the dealer for the facts!
It was involved in a low-speed front-end collision prior to my purchase. That makes two for it now!

0317 is Orientblau, the best colour for the E60!

Edit: when clean

What color blue?? I don't really know, but after seeing your picture, I think the bigger question would be "How do you drive that thing?"
C'mon... why complain? He got two for the price of one!

My question to you is: What is the history of the car? Is it clean?

Discrepancies like always that is questionable sometimes. I can't be wrong and I hope I am. Good luck!

I'm kinda confused by your questions. I've owned the car since last July, so it's definitely clean. I just didn't need to know the paint code until my wife wrecked it. :-)

HOWEVER, I went back through the car last night, and I can't find the paint code sticker that I thought I saw with 317 on it. I'm now thinking maybe the body shop listed that since I told them it was Orient Blue.

All I can find is the Monaco Blue sticker under the hood. Where else could I look?
