I've had one black car, and now living in New Mexico, I can't bring myself to buy another. But if this had a manual transmission, all bets would be off.

GLWS, it's a gorgeous car.

Thanks Herb.

My new Infiniti is silver...for a reason. Black cars are a huge PITA. That alone will free up 1-1/2 hours of every Saturday afternoon for me. More time to put in to my new SMB...once I find one.

I just bought a black Expedition, my first black truck (or car) in years and years. I already went out and got it muddy and it looks great now. I have no plans to wash it. Yeah, I know, you can't do this with a BMW, or at least no one would, but it is a simple no maintenance idea for a black vehicle.

Re: For Sale: 2008 BMW 550i

LOL...yeah, my first car 30 years ago was black and I swore I'd never own another one. Just endured five years with another one. When they're clean, there's nothing like it. It's fine as long as you own your own random orbital buffer

UPDATE: Griot's Garage random orbital buffer included free for SMB forum members only!

Thanks tully. Can't wait to find a new SMB. Just settled with State Farm on the SMB theft this afternoon, after almost five months.
