A photo sent to me by the Sales Manager at my dealer of a special order M5 with "Gold" paint. Maybe an individual colour?
Kind of looks like that color that Infinity has on the FX45, looks fine on the Infinity because they need the lipstick but on an M5??.......... I don't think it works

Cheers

I think it looks great. It's like the orange that Lamborghinis, and the limited edition Range Rover Sport, come in. Kind of.

I wouldn't have one as my only car / daily driver, but I certainly wouldn't say no to one of those parked up with other pose mobiles.

Oh, boy, more good taste in colors. Don't think it would be my choice, but maybe (??) if one saw it in "the flesh"? Na, probably not.

They were special orders for the EU market not Calgary. Fully agree with you about the color.

Maybe they were special order company cars for the "Orange" cell phone company.

Thankfully, generally I like Calgarians, but someone that abuses a BMW like that would get my dander up.....
