My man hit it out of the park with this one VERY happy. Damn this paint color is just amazing.

...I wish mine looked half as good as that. The previous owner didn't take care of the car cosmetically :(
I think I chatted with you on Instagram before?

...Funny was telling Eric (EAG) that when I got this car I was going up for Lemans one he just got in and to check this one out on the side. The pics did not do this car justice and as fate would have it this one was the better deal for me. Everywhere I go it draws a crowd over the color.
That sure is funny because that's how I was when I went to look at mine at the Porsche dealership 70 miles away. From the pics on their website, I wasn't too sold on the burgundy. Since I really wanted the Caramel interior so I went to look at it anyway. Once I saw it in person, the rest was history.

You probably wont see one ever because only 42 were made. I could've sworn a Chiaretto Red M5 lived in Seattle? Owner's name is Mike?
You are right and that would be me!

Here is a pic of my Chiaretto Red from a few weeks ago (less than 61K miles but could use some paint correction):

Looks absolutely amazing. Your detailer did one hell of a job - and your original paint seems to be in great shape as well. Here's my most recent Chiaretto picture



Another happy EAG customer here!

Thanks for all your comments. Funny was telling Eric (EAG) that when I got this car I was going up for Lemans one he just got in and to check this one out on the side. The pics did not do this car justice and as fate would have it this one was the better deal for me. Everywhere I go it draws a crowd over the color. While the paint was in very good condition to begin with it needed an extra bump that I didnt have the skills or tools to provide to defend my concours win next year.

Nsogiba - yeah the amber rears set it off perfectly as theres a bit of orangish hue in paint plus headlight corners

Chuffy - I cant view your pics at work for some reason, I will check it out when home. I remember when you got your detail it was my inspiration to get mine done.

Mandangalo - is the paint correctable? How long have you owned it?

Look at that reflection! Awesome job getting rid of the horrible orange peel these cars came from the factory with. Everyone should invest in a good polish and seal to rid that dreaded orange peel! The newer cars are even worse!

I see more pictures of this beast online then in person! Brian does fantastic work (I should probably go see him again, since it's been about 2 years since my last paint correction). This is Concours status folks, well done Mark.

Probably my favorite color for the M5 next to Imola, still haven't seen a nice example in person though.

Im thinking of doing a fall meet of e39's. Jdauria has coordinated before we can work together post summer craziness and before the winter slumber for the beasts hit, well winter slumber for mine anyway.

I have a friend in VA Beach area thats interested in the drive and your not far in PA to come down for the event. Keep an eye on local/regional section for updates.

Unfortunate, on the bright side, yours are becoming even more rare!

Concours boys can trailer their vehicles to the designated location if they don't feel like driving :)
