agreed...go with high gloss black if the price is right.

Then again you'll have to change out the door pillars as well, if you go with the black gloss

I have matte black on my 545 and High gloss black on my wife's X5. High Gloss is nice, but on my wife's car it has accumulated some oxidation which can not be removed. It's like purplish stains that can't be washed out or removed. Granted, the poor car has not been pampered much and barely gets washed once every couple of months, but under the same treatment the matte black on my past cars and 545 has done much better.
