Default What color is my car?

Looks like Navy Blue Metallic.

Went to a dealership before I bought mine. Saw a NBM on the lot. Looked purple at most angles, that ruled out NBM for me.

+1 I had a shitload of problems with my Tranny in my 6er. Got it fixed and put a cooler on it and worked well from then on and never had any problems. The guy who bought it from me says it still works well

NBM looks like purple when it's dirty as ****... especially from pollen. When they are clean I think they're the best color by far for TAs.

clay bar and a coat of zaino wax will make you know for sure its a nbm, but as stated above, nbm looks like a purple hue in the right lighting, and also when its dirty
