It is indeed... 2001 and Anthracite... Yours is how I wanted mine to look... PERFECT!! I looked high and low for this color with the manual trans. I was disappointed when I got it home to find nearly no compression in cylinders two and three... This one cost me way more than I had initially planned on spending on my third 540i sport. $4K for the car, another $1500 for dealer parts, maybe $200 in tools for timing set-up... Tires, rims, steering wheel, block, heads, more gaskets, intake, battery, bumper, interior lights, and the list goes on and on... I tried to put it back to stock as much as possible, except for a few minor power tweaks... I got this one going, but it isn't perfect like I had hoped when I purchased it... I'll enjoy it until I find a better example to restore... Until then, I get to enjoy the new X5...
Cheers!!!
