After 6+ hours of Zaino today, I finally have some good pics of this beauty. This is a pic only post as I plan to post a thorough review in a week or so. Blue is definitely different than white during the polishing process but well worth the results.

Enjoy. Here is a teaser. (rest are on my site below)

Some nice photos there. Suggest you use a better software to crop or change image size (ie. Adobe PS) which will get rid of some of the jagged edges in your pic.

Looks really great ... nice color combo.

What was your Zaino process?

Interested to read your review of the engine and tranny.

I love your interior/exterior color combo!

Is the sport package the same as the one fitted to the pre-LCI 545/550 (including staggered wheels)?

Hi,

I have a 535xi sport and just "discovered" I have 17" wheels and tires. Did you have to "special order" the 18's on your car as a poster stated in a reply to me?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, keep forgetting that not everyone is seeing 1280x1024 on twin 19"s. Now give it a shot.....

Washed with Dawn. Applied a coat of Polish Lock (Called Z-1, I believe but this bottle was before the ZFX came out). Applied a coat of Z-2 Pro and left it. Came back and realized that I had put entirely too much on. I had to take another towel and load it up with Z-6 and literally scrub the entire car again. Got it off and then went back and applied a much less generous coat of Z-2 Pro. Took it off and then took another towel around the car with Z-6 Gloss Enhancer and then realized that I couldnt feel my arms. Right at 6.5 hours. Well worth it, even with my screw up.
