YES....

the 500s are actually suposed to be black but from what a guy at the factory told me is that someone saw a way to cut costs by buying some unpainted cases so that is why you see some with black covers, some that are all black and some with black cases.......

Dealer told me that it may be the difference between the 500i MRP and the standard 500i We bought two 2003 500i one of each the MAP had silver cylindder head and the none MRP had painted black eng.

It's either plain or a black cylinder, I haven't seen any 03's with a painted cylinder, standard or mrp.
