Update...

I have a lead on a 34K mile 2003 Carbon Black M5. I have arranged for a body/paint/mechanical inspection next Thursday.

Fingers crossed...

^ I know it isn't your first pick, but I really enjoy Carbon Black. It's a very interesting shade, IMO.

What interior does this car have?

My E46 M3 was carbon black, so I still have nightmare of the swirls. But apparently black is the mrs first choice, so I am hoping that a full front and roof clearbra wrap will help mitigate the swirl problem.

Extended black leather with folddown seats.

I hope this one pans out. It is a very late production 03.

The problem with fold down seats is they will squeak.

Yep, but the middle hump on the non folddown seats really takes a lot of space away when you put a car seat in the middle.

I am the highest bidder, but decided not to go higher because I found out that the car still has all original fluids. That's just a ticking time bomb.

Anyway, I might be completing the transaction on an M5 Monday or Tuesday.
