Every customer and dealer think they are ordering one thing and getting another. Insane.

Yep, pretty much. The "black" wheels are black just like the black 666M. In bright light the black 666M can look silvery too because the finish is so reflective.

Oddly enough 3 hours after reading this I saw those wheels on some type of large BMW barge that was parked on the street as I drove by. Not sure if it was a 3, 5 or 7 as they all look the same to me. However. The wheel colour is sensational. If they just called them mineral grey tint or something like that it would have solved a lot of confusion.

I am not a big fan of the "black" 666M - those almost look dirty to me...instead of a distinct and different color than the normal silver.

Can we go back to the time when things were simple? My first BMW...1969 BMW 1600. The hubcaps were standard issue and the only option No guessing games!

The kidney grills have gone from Third Reich to Burt Reynolds over the years.
