I agree it is a beautiful colour! Very Jealous:(
I hope you continue to enjoy the diesel 'kick', it gets better as they break in ;)
My E71 is the new 40d and should be fabulous considering I'm going from 218bhp to 306bhp and a mountain of torque coupled to an 8 speed tranny.

Yes, it takes a really sunny day to get the effect, but we do get them pretty regularly here in central Illinois; probably wouldn't have done this if I lived in Seattle!. I almost waited for the 40d (I think it's supposed to come here next year sometime), but the $4500 rebate was too good to pass up. The diesel's acceleration from a stop is really amazing - the thing will throw you back in your seat in a way I've felt only with the 335i or M3. And this is for a 5200-pound car.
