But i see why he choose this color,

I'm russian as well
I hate chrome, but this is rare exception
I kinda dig this M5
Unlike other chrome jobs we've seen so far, i think this one is decent
Color choice is good as well

Interesting - most of the posts in this thread are from 3-series owners. That probably says it all.

"No Fear" is such a slogan from last century.
"Just Do It" is just not enough...

Nowadays, you have to "Get Noticed"!

Aint i right?!

Those who aren't used to having money, and then get it, must need to shout about it...kinda like over here with the Big Rims on nice cars (I've seen Masers on 24s) or clean classic cars.

Remember it was the US that started the more Chrome (grille, bumper, etc) that a car had, the more it defined being luxury, the car that bucked that trend was the 1957 Continental Mark II.

BTW, anybody notice that the M5 lacks the lower part/"defuser" of the rear bumper?

I think it looks better then standard monte Carlo blue. Wouldn't mind looking at it, but I don't think I could own and live with it daily.

vladberca · 06-13-2012, 02:39 AM

I think is somehow a good comercial for BMW

Any Russians wanna chime in?

Hard to stand out in a place where everyone drives a Cayenne and such... guess "normal" colours just wont do

ZheHbKa · 06-13-2012, 06:39 AM

its not about chrome, now its about tuning, if you look at Russian forums u'll see cars that cost $500 wrapped in $2000 CF

its a recent trend and with younger people having more money, that extra goes into cars

ZheHbKa · 06-13-2012, 06:40 AM

love this look, not a fan of typical chrome but this is sick

dela · 06-13-2012, 07:19 AM

That is definitely a yes. It looks great.

Almost like a HDR photo of Monte Carlo Blue. I like

Have you seen cars from the middle east?

But no one says that all of the love it. Same here. Hate chrome and aluminium in cars. Shadowline and royal black ftw

H8turbolag · 06-13-2012, 08:08 AM

Bimmerlover76 · 06-13-2012, 10:23 AM

Would love to see it in motion, seeing how the reflections look!

I'm not Russian, but I'm married to one. I've been to Moscow, and we have a lot of Russian friends here. To put it nicely, they are materialistic and flashy. This fits it perfectly.

BTW, I love that color. Looks good.

ORIGIN M. · 06-13-2012, 11:10 AM

LOL.. We're...?

If that is considered advance - let me please be retarded.

Somebody put the grills in...!

I am an American... born in Russia.... but its just like when black people like big flashy wheels and chrome 22 rims on Cadillac, Russians like Flashy colors for cars.

Go to a Russian dinner, everyone dresses like if its prom. So people who have money and time like Erik Davidovich (Owner of Gold X5M) and others decided to make chrome covered Bentley, BMW, and motorcycles
