There's one parked in a village local to me, saw it this morning in fact while I was out and about. Lady driver.

Quite striking but not really my cup of tea.

Yes,Orion Silver. Weirdly, bmw chose it as one of the colours for many of the release test/press cars in 2009, despite using the lovely Deep Sea Blue in thier tv ad.
