Picking up my Interlagos Blue M5 Today!!!

I've just returned from my dealership where they were unloading my M5 off the truck. It caused a small riot in the street in front of the showroom. Being the first one in town all the execs came out to see it and even salesmen from competing dealers across the street. Many photos coming soon!!!

Re: Picking up my Interlagos Blue M5 Today!!!

I can't wait to see the pictures!

I want to see Interlagos in the flesh. I am a black or some-variation-of-silver guy, but I think Interlagos is really neat...

Re: Picking up my Interlagos Blue M5 Today!!!

The Interlagos Blue is pretty intense, but I think it works. I was surprised that the car seems smaller in person, which I like. Because it sits lower it feels smaller than the regular 5 Series cars. I'll up load lots of photos later tonight or tomorrow. I'm a photographer by profession so I'll use a color tempeture meter to try to get as accurate a color rendition as the web will allow.

Re: Picking up my Interlagos Blue M5 Today!!!

Sorry guys photos will be delayed by 5 days. I had to leave the little beauty behind in the garage while I head east for a quick family visit. I've had plenty of offers from firends wanting to stop by and take it out for some excercise.
