    Diamantschwarz metallik - 181, canadian specs.

    Mine's not to bad to keep looking good. It's the black leather that makes it worse for heat. Mine is parchment. I'm cool with it...

    Wondering as I don't see many (any?) North American E34's in Cosmos unless it's an M-Sport.

    Too bad to as I rather like my M-Sport in Cosmos. Wasn't sure about it at first. But I do like it now. And it's rather nice when it's clean and the sun is out. Not to mention it hides stuff a little better than the straight black (jet black/schwartz II?). But it's still black and does get dirty quickly...
    There's always one and I'm going to be it today. I wouldnt buy a black car cos they are hot in summer (even in the UK) and worse they are a bugger to keep clean. Best for not showing dirt is silver/grey. Mine is dolphin made of the ZA market. I just didnt want to feel left out

    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...
