Hmm, seems like Cosmos (#303) is probably as rare as I thought it was. Too bad really as I think it's a better color than the regular blacks...

I didn't buy my M-Sport in black because it was easier to maintain/live with. I bought it in black because I think the E34 M's (with the Evo mirrors) look best in black. Yes, I realize the M-Sport isn't an M5. But it's pretty much an M5 with a V8 under the hood instead of the I6. Everything but the engine & tranny is M5.
It's a pain in the ass for it to be black.
But it's a damn sexy car in black. And that's why if I was going to buy an M-Sport it was going to be a black one. Would've been a lot easier to find one if I didn't specifically look for the black on black M-Sport 5 Speed. Which is quite logical as there seems to be only 3 black on black M-Sport 5 Speeds produced...
