I've had two Bimmers- a 99 540i in Jet Blk and a TiAg 02' M3 cpe. Generally
speaking the finish is slightly inferior to other makes, BUT nobody else has such a wide variety of awesome colors. Their grays and blues like sparkling graphite and interlagos blue nobody else does. Try finding a carbon black or imola red somewhere else. Forget it, only BMW has it. So...........
One has to take a little more care of a bimmer but the choice of palettes is
way better IMO.
