That's a great option package ... nice '10 535XI. The only thing I'd suggest is shadowline for the door /window trim area or the DIY treatments recommended on recent posts. That would be a nice compliment to your color combo! Good luck with your new ride

Thanks. I really liked the option package too.
I just learned about the shadowline trim in another post. The car has ever so slight discoloration on the aluminum trim around the windows. Apparently this is a common issue. Another post online compared the look to gasoline in a puddle of water. That is what it looks like.
I tried a few products including some mild polish (applyed by hand) and got a definite improvement. I'm going to see how good I can get it. I do think the black would look better on this color and I may consider the shadowline trim or possibly wrapping the existing trim myself with some high quality vinyl (may even do this first to see if I like it).
