OK people, I did it. Was vacsillating back and forth between the 28 and 40. Put some cash down on a silver 528 because my pennystocks have been sinking the past few weeks. Went over to the dealer to let the wife give it the final once over and what did I see: the orient blue/gray 504iA Sport/Steptronic/GPS/shades/premium sound/upgrade wheels that I passed on last week after some dufus dude cancelled his order upon delivery. When I saw it earlier, the sky was cloudy and it looked kinda drab. But in yesterday's Dallas sunshine, the paint sparkled. What the hell, its only another 15k. Any way, I do have a question: to those orient blue owners, how does the paint hold up to hand washing and waxing? I use soft cotton and chamois only, but had a black car some years ago that no matter how careful, it eventually showed minute swirls. Thanks in advance.
