Taking advantage of a beautiful autumn day in North Carolina, I decided to take a few quick snapshots of my M5. It was still (relatively) clean & tidy from a weekend washing.
Nothing too interesting about mine - bone stock, but it is an '07 Touring manual (hey, that's a bit unusual in itself...(cool)) but I do have one thing I've not seen anywhere else before...the color is Plum Mica, which I believe was one year only and very rare. I've never seen another.
Passersby and co-workers always seem surprised by the color. Most will not notice the purple hue and think it's black until an especially sunny day and will then be taken aback when they first notice the color.
At first, I wasn't sure that I liked it, but I've grown accustomed to it and besides, since I'm usually parked in a garage or shade, even I don't think about the fact that its purple (albeit a really, really dark shade of purple!). It can be quite a conversation starter...(hi)
