i couldnt find where the plate was, it probably didnt help that it was snowing/freezing rain and car was outside, here is a pic that will give you an idea, and thanks alot for your help!


i took that picture a couple hours before i bought it

Looks like carbon black to me, possibly NachBlau (Night Blue).



Don't think the M5 was available in Orient Blue



Depends how nearly black it is.

Just purchased Avus 2000, 53k mi., Dinan Stage 1 Engine Software, Black/Silverstone interior for $22,500 US. I was relatively perturbed when the money left my bank account; but all such feelings were immediately reversed when I depressed the sport button and drove it home. Half a tank of premium later, I'm elated. When I'm not in it, I find myself staring at it like a perfect ten in a bar. I slept with the keys in my hand for the last three nights. No joke.

These pics were all about 1,000 mi pre-sale. I'll do my own photo shoot soon, don't worry.
