Vinyl Wrap All Done!
I had updated my 05 545 with a Mtech front and rear bumper plus a quad exhaust. Since the original black paint was getting bad, I decided to go with a blue gloss wrap. I found a really good shop near my work, and it turned out really well. Here is a picture:
This was about 1/3 the cost of paint, and should last for a few years, longer than I hope to have the car. Just have to keep it clean!

How does that work with car registration? Do you have to notify DMV that you changed the registered color?

To answer that question I know no one notifies any registration body/insurance for wraps let alone paint alterations in Canada. But that's from my experience in the midwest to east coast. I wouldn't see it being a legal matter.

Wrap looks great from the images posted. I'm considering a wrap myself and would love to see some additional photos if you have any

I have a jet blk 07 550i and I had paint issues on my trunk lid, roof and hood so I had them wrapped in jet black. Looks real good. People can't even tell unless I say something. But they all ask how do I keep a black car living in Florida so shinny

I'll post some more pics soon. I got it done at Bosworth Customs in the Southend. The owner Chad is a maniac about perfect details. He actually wrapped my car 2 or 3 times before he was happy. He had an issue with a bad 3M wrap material, but we switched to Avery, and it turned out really well. I try to wash it weekly, and I have used a detailing polish which makes it look like paint. What I really love is if I have an issue in an area, I can just re-wrap it in the future.
