Two in less than 24 hrs.
FJ55 H## Lovely looking example of an E60 B5 in silver.
Checked each other over, big smiles and a thumbs up across the lanes, went our respective ways.

Depends how Silver is silver? :lol:

The only one I know of that fits the bill and could be described as "silver", would be #138 which is special order Sparkling Graphite (FJ55HCY). Others with that reg structure are ALPINA Blue or Black Sapphire.

Different shade possibly Bob? That pic' looks like a mid grey on my screen.
The car was more a true silver, actually had trouble deciphering the chrome boot lettering on 1st glance.
Admittedly the sun was shining!
Full Reg:FJ55 HCL.

Not a reg I've had on my list, but if we're talking bright silver then it can only really be Titanium Silver, so it looks like this was #072

All the other silvery grey shades are best grouped under variations of Gunmetal I'd say:
Silver Grey
Sparkling Graphite
Sterling Grey
Titanium Grey
