    Cosmo's twin?

    Anybody know this car? The bill of sale shows anthrazite buffalo but it appears that the leather redye took the interior to black; bummer...

    It's my understanding anthrazite buffalo is black. Havana buffalo is a yellow based brown and Nutria buffalo is a green based brown. IMO when buffalo leather ages the beauty of the leather comes forward as the colors do change. Roger

    The leather in that car looks great to me, and yes, it's anthrazite. Too bad the paint is in such poor condition. Who takes their M635 to a car wash?

    Car washes do not cause damage like that. In this case it's the clear coat. My Bronzit did the same thing after about 15 yrs.

    I've owned two car washes. So let the debate begin.

    Thinking about it more, I don't think the front air dam would get past most automatic car washes.

    You're right about conveyor height. West Nyack wash too high, Nyack wash just right--I lucked out.
