Went to pick up my car from the dealer and this guy was there picking up his new 545. He was also trading in/turning in is E39 540 at the same time. The 540 was this bright fire engine red and so was his new 545. I asked him if he special ordered it but he in fact had ordered a black 545 and had it painted to match his old 540! Wasn't bad looking but man, you could see this car coming a mile away. This was one time I wish I had camera phone.

It takes lots of brass to re-paint a brand new beemer.

You are right about that! I talked with the guy breifly while he was sitting at the wheel and I saw the odometer had only 16 miles on it. Clearly they drove it straight off the truck to the body shop for painting.
