Phoenix Yellow has to be the ugliest yellow on any car ever made. That color alone knocks $10K off the price, for a necessary repaint. And you are a witness to that very fact.

Actually it was not that bad. he had blackened the wheels added tint etc. and it was very presentable. There was another couple of colors that they came out that were horrible. A lime green and a gold that changed colors depending on the light source.

Car & Driver August 2010 issue.

Cover: "BMW 5 Series The Rematch" You're not going to believe this one!"
Article: Pages 44 through 52...
Competitors: Audi A6 3.0T Quatro $55K --- BMW 535i $57K --- Infinity M37 $60K
Ranking: Audi 1st place --- M37 2nd place --- 535i Last place with Features & Amenities categories scoring a 1 out of possible 10

They certainly gave the article the appropriate title. The BMW was scored a 5 out of 10 (not a 1 out of 10) for the features and amenities categories, not that it matters...

I better tell BMW NA to up their C&D advertising dollars so their writers can at least live with some credibility. A new 5 series coming in after an Infiniti and aging Audi....

I drove an A6 and was seriously let down. Although I really live the S4/RS4 and A3.

BMW obviously keeps their advertising dept. at Motor Trend happy:

Here's the BMW vs. Mercedes comparison.
