My Ride: Retired 2008 535i Titanium-silver with sport, premium, steptronic, NAV, HUD
Retired 2006 525i
I was in the BMW showroom this afternoon waiting for my 535 to be brought back after an oil change etc. Besides me there was a 70+ year old frail lady waiting for her car to be brought back. Anyway our cars were brought back at about the same time. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that old lady get into a shocking blue M3 and drive off.
I've never seen such a weird color and especially could never have imagined such an old lady driving around in an M3.
I felt a little embarassed getting into an auto transmission 535 and that old lady in a (presumably) stickshift M3.

It's called Geriatric Black. It appears blue because your eyes aren't what they used to be
or Blue-Rinse-Blue, to match the colour of the hair!
Very cool lady -- probably had nitrous or something under there as well!
