Thoughts on the BMW M5 in Black?

I haven’t seen a blue one in person, but I can imagine! Black brings that understated elegance, while blue might be a bit more vibrant.

I own a black M5 and I love it! The way it reflects light at different angles is stunning. A well-maintained finish looks jaw-dropping.

So true! The shine on these cars can be mesmerizing. What modifications have you made to enhance that visual impact?

The M5 in black is a beauty, but let’s not forget about the other colors! Red can be eye-catching and sporty. Still, black remains a top choice for many enthusiasts.

While I agree black is a classic choice, it’s also a color that can show dust and scratches more easily. How do you all maintain that black shine?

I usually use a clay bar followed by a good wax. It keeps it looking sharp! Are there any specific products you guys recommend?

Honestly, I think black cars can be a bit of a cliche. I’d go with a more unique color. But hey, if you love it, rock it!

There’s definitely a debate on color choice! I think the black M5 still manages to stand out because of its design. It’s an iconic shape regardless of color.

Exactly! The M5’s design is so striking, it can look good in just about any hue. What color did you choose for yours?

I think black makes the M5 look sinister in a good way! It screams performance. It’s like the car wants to leave everyone in the dust.

Ha! I can just imagine a black M5 doing that! It’s so powerful; it could probably outrun the speed limit in style! Anyone else find it more fun to drive because of its looks?

Definitely! The aesthetics definitely add to the driving experience. The more you love how it looks, the more you enjoy driving it!

I’ve owned my M5 in black for three years now. The maintenance costs are higher than I expected, but the performance is worth it. Just keep an eye on those brakes!

Totally agree with you, but have you had any reliability issues? I’ve heard mixed reviews about that.

The black color looks stunning, but it shows every speck of dirt! Keeping it clean is a job in itself. What products are you guys using?

I use a ceramic coating on mine! Makes maintenance easier and keeps that shine.

What can I say? The M5 is a beast! I’ve had mine for over a year, and while the maintenance can put a dent in your wallet, it sure is fun to drive. Great for long road trips if you can handle the costs.

It really is! But have you faced any major issues? I’ve heard the early models had some quirks.

Maintenance has been quite straightforward for me. Just regular oil changes and a couple of brake replacements after some aggressive driving. No major hiccups!

That’s good to hear! I was worried about the long-term reliability. How’s the engine holding up?
