I just gotta say.... yeah, there's a reason why some people are on my ignore list.

Color looks good though. Pretty sure I've seen that on a handful of E39 M5s.

ITS NOT sterling grey metallic. This is sterling grey metallic.


This is anthracite metallic (which is what BMW called it)


Big difference.

Here are all the possible colors for the E39 M5 and the color codes if you don't believe me http://www.bmwmregistry.com/model_faq.php?id=18#colors

^ and this is why you do not ask an Acura forum something so specific about a BMW...should have let him paint it the wrong color...

google is a powerful tool.
