Fashion Grey - I have to have one

I had been searching for an m5 that was unique and during my search on those car sites I always filtered for the competitions.

Last Sunday, I got on the Edmunds site and searched and found this ad. I had never seen this color before and i absolutely fell in love with it. On Monday I called the dealer and asked them about it and that’s when they told me the that the sale was pending. SON OF A B&&&%#!!!

The car was listed as a BASE model😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Had I seen it, I would have sold my house to get it. The most beautiful and unique color on an M5 in my opinion!!!!

https://www.edmunds.com/bmw/m5/2021/...3CH04MCG40583/

I am looking to buy if you know of anyone who is interested in selling !!!!

If this post is in the wrong area I will repost in classified’s….i guess.

You should follow FSHNGRY's threads. I love it, too. I couldn't decide between it and Grey Black but ended up with the latter.

He's just a Fashion Grey aficionado and has done a lot of upgrades. I honestly don't have many pics, but here is one in the hotel parking lot when I picked it up in Spartanburg. It's filthy now. I gave up keeping it clean with all the sky rats and brake dust. I get it detailed every few months and at least wipe the poop off in between.

FSHNGRY parting with his dream build any time soon after all the headache and heartache getting it perfect?!

I think we’ll see the G90 lose 1,000 pounds before that happens.

EDIT — it’s not all/just about the money, but, he’s got to be $200K deep by now. Correct me if I’m wrong, please.

No disrespect intended iknowspurgeon. Tone is hard to convey on the internet. He’s just a super enthusiast who spent a painstaking amount of time getting it perfect. My comments were all in good fun.

I didn’t take your response negatively at all. I’m an owner of an e60 and f10 m5s and after seeing that f90 In that color I knew I had to have one by any means. I’m aggressively seeking one and I will find other owners to see if they are willing to part with theirs.

There could be some at other dealerships but they are not advertising them due to the recall issues on the expansion tank.

Once I get one, I will join this group as an official owner. I appreciate the passion.

Thanks !!!!

Hope you find exactly what you’re looking for, but obviously this is an Individual Manufaktur. I’m not a fan of wraps (even though I have a wrapped car in my fleet now), but you could always wrap another car that otherwise satisfies your desires in Fashion Grey. Avery makes the wrap, though I believe nowadays they’re calling it “Gloss Grey.” Worth noting that any wraps that resemble actual glossy/metallic paint with their fake orange peel will generally look terrible (learned that the hard way after wrapping the car, had it removed). Matte/satin colors tend to look much better (I did that the second time).

Yea. Not a huge fan of wraps. I like Nardo and Grigio colors. Worst case is going with the wrap.

Thanks.

You are not wrong. Well beyond that mark if you factor in parts that were added and removed for whatever reason.

As much as I love “new” stuff- I can’t stomach parting this out and starting all over again one piece at a time. I’ll more than likely wait for the LCi - but for now I plan on keeping the F90 and adding a very very sweet secondary car to the stable soon 😉
