My Ride: '05 545i Sport - MANUAL - Jet Black/Black
20" Miro Time Attacks, Bimmian Carbon Kidneys
Jet black 545. As much as I love black on black... I feel like a leper when my car is dirty. Like everyone's staring at me and talking about how gross my car is. "EWWWW look at all those swirl marks! What a douche!" I find that I'm usually the only one who notices things wrong with my car. I do love black, but I'm thinking white on the next go around.

My Ride: 2004 jet black 530I, M-tech body kit, ac shnitzer roof and trunk spoiler. kelleners sport exhaust and pully kit on its way from germany.
my last car was black and all i could say was i was not going to get another. Well when i was at the BMW dealer I was test driving a silver 545 but when i saw the jet black 530 i just fell in love.

The swirl marks can be removed with a high quality detail.
I know. But if you're a car wash lover (specially the 'old' car washes), and if you're too lazy
to hand wash the car, the swirls will return.......

I don't know if I dare say this in this forum....but ok, wth...I don't want my car to take up my life. 
There, I said it! I'm a blasphemizer! 
Don't get me wrong, I love black but currently can't afford the number of servants required to up keep its look. That said, I *love* my alpine white + black leather! Looks great w/o the OCD maintenance routine!
