Congrats. I recently bought a 2007 550i and love the car. I'm also considering doing window tints so doing some research.

The waterless wash system from chemical guys is awsome.

I have Ventureshield on mine. Whether you decide to paint first or just bra it I don't think you'll go wrong. But you'll probably eventually paint anyway so why not just before? Just my two cents.

ENJOY THE RIDE!

after doing some more research, i'm starting to lean more towards Avery Nano-Fusion paint protection. this film appears to be more clear and with more gloss than Venture Shield.

Congrtas Dishoom,

That's a very fine and clean 550i.

A very good car. I love the 172 M wheels.

Maybe since you are from Florida, you will not regret having a black car. Here in the Northeast, where there is always something falling from the sky, I regretted a black car almost every day. Everything always accentuated with black, good and bad. Nice looking car, BTW.

Congrats on the car - I would recommend getting the clear bar. I have one on my front end and it has saved me a lot. Also make sure to get the film on the headlights etc.
