if you have the money or influence.....look at bonkers mallard saff cos for one....its just a shame Ford never have(or did) make proper records of all thier cars(or special orders!)......there are quite a few non standard option cars around(or were around)..well thats what i was lead to believe when i've spoken to people that were in the know back then. Although i don't get all this X files area 51 shite when a non production colour car is mentioned....if someone said"ooooo i have a dog shit brown E46 M3",most people wouldn't insinuate that its a fraud!...but as it has an RS badge it must be suspect

If they did one in Black I would cash in my shares and buy one now... even if I was still down 3k on my shares

I wouldn't wait till next year to buy one lol

Robski

yes he did.......but other examples left the production line in different colours. The problem is these days,you have soooo many "experts" in a field that they never actually experienced till WAY after the marque was released,and the make out like they were in it from the begining. From what i've read and spoken with the likes or Jermey Walton and Graham Robson.i know there was more than what the dealer brochure had to offer!!

I remember my mate when he ordered his 2.5 S-Max. They were fucking him about and he requested the car be Performance Blue. After days and days of asking they wouldn't do it unless he coughed up another 3k. What do you think they'd charge for black lol

That looks mint in black.

the only thing with black is it looks the dogs danglies when you first get it but once you,ve washed it 3 or 4 times it looks like its grey as all the polish has washed off and you see all the swirl marks and scratches,unless you are going too spend countless hours looking after the paintwork then you might aswell buy a silver car....

trust me,i know these things,13 yrs as a valeter learnt me lots

Fair enough but my mates had his M3 polished constantly by JohnsWax.co.uk all the time and his car doesn't look gray one bit. Swirl marks just need to be machine polished out. I valet my black 182 and its still black and no swirl marks. Swirl marks appear (and you'll know this as a valeter) when people don't know how a car should be washed or polished. People who don't know how to valet use Mr Miyagi's Wax on Wax off method.

From what John Drake of johnswax.co.uk told me was it depends on how much attention has been payed to the spraying. He said you would see when the its a shit job on black.

Deffo needs to be made in black.
