No Shane....
THIS is Sparkling Graphite

 

Ya, the one you linked is Space Grey. All the press photos of the e92 are that color since it's a special color for that car only. The photo you linked actually isn't representative of it thought (unfortunately), in person it has a sort of greenish hue in the silver, more like this:



It's a nice color, but it didn't flip me out.

The Sprakling Graphite is the one Ian linked:



it's a common e90 color (you see them all over), which is a bummer, but it is a nice color - good flake, dark but easier to maintain than black. It's like diamond graphite but darker. The top pic is exactly how mine will come (the bottom is a 328). Planned mods are:

1) Clear bra & tint
2) Paint fron reflector (yuck!)
3) Wheels
4) LSD
5) Chip if applicable

 

Lovely car...and it should go like stink too. Colour is common but classic and looks great. G/L with the wait and planning for the trip.

What are you referring to painting on the front deflector?

 

See the little orange reflector in the front fender? That thing. It looks hideous, imo. I'll either clear it or paint it.

 

^oh my bad. I was thinking deflector. I agree with you on the orange. A clear one would match the other small sidelight.

Wheels and LSD will be a few $$ but give you some distinctiveness and better grip with all that torque.

 

Kevin, I might have a black s2k tagging along with me on the 16th. You will either have a heart attack or will cry when you see the swirls on that poor thing.

 

Hey Marta - not sure how I missed this. You're going to have to let me buff it for you!!!

 

So, who likes pics? FYI guys, I have openings next week, first week in a few I've had openings. Get 'em shined up pre-meet & shine!

600hp E55 AMG. It was faaaaaast. Sounds mean as hell too.








Probably one of the toughest cars I've had to do. Worst bird etchings I've ever seen.








G35driver memeber Pontiac (kccbaby) refered this owner to me. Car was in rough rough shape. Turned out well, but there was some cc failure on the hood. Bummer







I'm getting super psyched for the meet & shine.

 

Sweet, Kevin......dang, that AMG makes my heart pound.....yummy.

Yep, that AMG is absolutely gorgoeous!!!

 

I think the 600 ponies wuld be just about enough!

 

Aye, lad.....sounds tatalizing doesn't it......but I'll stick with the M....I can get into enough trouble even with that........

C.

 

I think he said 545hp to the rear wheels; inside is decked out too - crazy nav system, carputer in the trunk, custome exhaust - it's a total baller car. Probably the only MB I'd realistically own (the CLS and SLR being too much cash!).

 

any more shots of the brickyard?

 

Of course.

The car was in sad shape. It had sat at a dealer in NYS for 4 months outside, with bird crap and hard water all over it (as you can see in the pics), they obviously tried to buff it prior to delivery but of course they just made it worse. I think it's one of my favorite car colors... looks killer in the sun.
