Well unless he had it painted it wasnt this color. The M3's never came in Granite Silver, only a much lighter shade called Arctic which is just like any other silver. As for the motor differences, not much. The 2.8 (M52) has a bit more low end torque than the 2.5 (M50). The torque advantage is almost negligible but the M52 also tends to respond better to cams and bolt ons.
