The original BMW press release stated Titanium Silver as standard, and two individual colours (Estoril Blue and Velvet blue) for the Clubsport. Most are silver or Estoril; the Velvet Blue is pretty rare.
Iirc Carbon Black was also available.Edited by BFleming on Friday 30th October 16:24

How did you find it? I've never worked up the courage to have a go as fear I will burn through the paint and cause more harm than good! Car is looking fantastic though, love the wheels.Back with an updated pic of my own, spent the last two afternoons thoroughly cleaning the car prior to polishing and waxing by hand:

Very easy mate, id reccomend giving it a go, just make sure you get a Dual Action polisher. Its pretty difficult to cut through the paint, you'd have to press on silly hard and keep it in the same place.
I think i could of done a better job and spent a bit longer, maybe next summer when its worth cleaning lol.

Some recent shots of my F02 760Li after a good clean and wax (autoglym products).
Interesting to compare the look of the white ("Mineral White") finish to the 440 in the post above. Surprisingly different look - I wonder how much is the paint and how much is the wax.



That is such a nice car; any interior shots? Interesting to compare the look of the white ("Mineral White") finish to the 440 in the post above. Surprisingly different look - I wonder how much is the paint and how much is the wax.

Nick, it looks very new. Was it a run out pre facelift, or did it have a few miles on it. You don't often see such high spec cars. Did you search specifically for it or just happened to come across it when looking? Perfect spec btwThis one has about £25k worth of options on it. It came in new at £103k. I bought it 9 months old, 1 owner with 3k miles on from a main dealer, for a lot less

My X5 is Mineral White, in certain lights it can look quite different, I'm not really sure how to describe it, almost creamy?Interesting to compare the look of the white ("Mineral White") finish to the 440 in the post above.
