  While this may be true for your friend, I can tell you that there are
plenty of cars out there with faded paint (BMW's or not, and any color too!)
THE DIFFERENCE is the way we treat our cars.  Just like changing the oil
every 3K, vacuum cleaning and such, washing and waxing the car frequently DOES
make a difference.  I have a 325 from '86, that happens to be in such a good
shape -both interior and exterior- that I get asked whether the car is new all
the time.  Of course, most people may not be aware of the different existent
models...  BTW, the car is Zubinorot....
