You will pay 13 times less at the AK place for similar result,
Mine still going strong after nearly a year, no peeling, no crook at all.
Thanks Ricky San

Spend that 13K on something else, maybe bodykit?!
As far as I know about vinyl (the cheap one) is acidic in nature and would emit acidic vapour under certain (high) temperature. That's why it's being banned from some European countries. I am not sure the source of the vinyl wrap and it's quality so I cannot comment further.

No, for the exterior i would want the car to be all shiny and polished and looking clean! Thats why i dont think i would go for matte roof!
I would definitely go for the gloss roof aswell, the matte roof make the car looks cheap

Agree. I might order the vinyl wrap from this webpage as it does seem to be high quality! Just need to find a body shop to do the actual application of the wrap.

Seeing Keith san's wrap I think it's good in quality (Keith's trim isn't falling apart, yet ).

E46 318i has matt finish (rubber), personally I don't think it matches E60.
But E60 M5 in Matte.
